Thursday, Nov. 16, 2017 South West Michigan – Watching The Jet Stream
Currently 36 with an average WNW wind of 3.5 mph dragging that down to feeling like 32. Dew Point 32, Humidity 87%, Barometer 30.09, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 7:35 am, Sunset 5:17 pm. Mostly cloudy with a 20% chance of rain/snow showers until midday. High around 40. NW winds 10 – 20 mph with gusts to around 30.
Partly cloudy early becoming mostly cloudy with an overnight low in the upper 30s. Some patchy fog possible. Light winds.
Leonid Meteor Showers can be seen tonight – well, not here because we will have clouds pretty much blocking our view, but still…for those who can.
Watching the Jet Stream looking fairly goofy right now, trying to figure out approximately what the weather might be closer to Thanksgiving is a hoot. Curves and swirls galore up there. I wouldn’t bother to bet anything on what it’s going to be doing a week from now. Should be fun to watch it either straighten out and fly right or curl itself into a spiral. Always interesting watching something we have absolutely no control over, nor can we wish it to act one way or another.
