Well…so Wesley – not the dread pirate Wesley but the rotten winter storm Wesley – is on the way. We will be lucky – if luck you could call it for mid April weather – in that we won’t be in the bullseye for the worst of Wesley. Lots and lots of snow elsewhere, but what we will get is more than what we want or need. Winter is flat out getting sickening and we’ve all had more than enough of it.

The wind during the night was already kicking up, helping to bring Winter Storm Wesley flying across the nation. The sooner that nasty, powerful winter storm blows through, the better. This is insane, having weather like this in what should be a gentle month. And I don’t really care how many periods of snow there have been on record in the month of April – they simply do not belong there. And it doesn’t help seeing the numbers. Who cares? Really! Winter storms should be over and done by the time we get this far into Spring. And that’s the name of that tune.

Currently 53 with a W wind of 10 mph making it feel like 49 degrees. Dew Point 49, Humidity 87%, Barometer 29.86 & rising, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:12 am, Sunset 8:16 pm.d Cloudy morning will become a partly cloudy afternoon. High 654. W winds 5 – 10 mph.

A few overnight clouds with the slight chance of a little rain. Low 41. WSW winds 10 -20 mph.

I don’t know, but checking the weather map in regards to that big April snow storm shaping up to the West, things are getting a tad dicey around my area. We seem to be right on the border of going from rain to a mixed mess to snow. I guess at this stage there’s nothing to do but keep an eye on things and be ready for whatever comes along.

On a perhaps positive note, I did hang out the Humming bird feeder this morning. It’s early but they’ve been seen in Pentwater already and I’m not about to let any of the weary little bundles of feathers go hungry should they get to my place. I’d rather waste a little hummingbird food and make more batches of it than take chances. I’m ready should any of them not be smart enough to stay the heck out of the north until it really does warm up – and stay warmed up.

Currently 55 with a SE wind of 8 mph making it feel like 53 degrees. Party cloudy morning will become a cloudy afternoon with a 60% chance of rain. High 68. SE winds 10 -15 mph.

Cloudy overnight with a 60% chance of rain. Low 48. WSW winds 10 -15 mph.

Looking at that snow storm taking shape for sometime about Thursday and still hoping it all misses us. So far, so good. Still looks like we’ll be on the rain side of it. But it’s just sad that anywhere is looking at the chance for yet more heavy wet snow. It’s absolutely not right. It was a hard, destructive winter…lots of trees and parts of trees down this spring all over the place. A heavy wet snow bringing down more, as well as another weather related power outage is simply unfair. We’ll see how it goes. Things can change – and I’m hoping for those in the path of this coming storm system will bring them a change from what I see brewing right now.

Currently 42 with a SSE wind of 1 mph. Feels like 42 degrees. Dew Point 40, Humidity 94%, Barometer 30.20 & rising, Visibility 5 mi., Sunrise 7:15 am, Sunset 8:13 pm. Early fog. Cloudy 62 degrees. SSW winds 5 – 10 mph.

Partly cloudy to cloudy overnight. Low 46. Light and variable winds.

The fog is lifting and the sky is covered with a thin layer of clouds. The sun is trying hard to shine through, but it’s not quite making it. Gotta give it credit for trying though. Sounds like some rain coming tomorrow. And I’m interested in seeing what’s coming about next Thursday. Looks to be a snow storm to the west of us and probably in the northern part of Michigan, but I’m hoping we get nothing but the rain part of that storm system. So far, it looks to be shaping up that way.

Currently 35 with an E wind of 8 mph making it feel like 28 degrees. Dew Point 32, Humidity 90%, Barometer 30.14 & falling, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 7:17 am, Sunset 8:12 pm. Cloudy with a chance of morning showers. High 55. SSW winds 5 -10 mph.

Partly cloudy overnight with a low of 37. Light and variable winds.

Not a particularly pretty day, but then again, we’re so near the back end of winter that any day without snow should probably be considered a good one. So…this is a good one. Was hoping for a pleasant weekend, and we may see a dandy Saturday but Sunday is shaping up to be a rainy day. Not good for those who count on that day to tend to outdoor chores. I guess we’ll have to see how it goes.

Currently 33 with an E wind of 12 mph making it feel like 24 degrees. Dew Point 25, Humidity 72%, Barometer 30.46 & rising, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:19 am, Sunset 8:11 pm. Overcast with a slight chance of rain. High 47. ESE winds 10 -20mph/

Cloudy with a 40% chance of overnight rain. Low 36. ESE winds 10 -20 mph.

Was supposed to start out partly cloudy and go on into overcast, but evidently Mother Nature decided to skip the first step and go right on into nothing but clouds. Could see a bit of rain today – and I do believe I heard someone say there was a small chance of some snow showing up in that rain – but I choose to ignore that. Enough is enough. At any rate, no sunshine for us today.

Currently 40 with an average wind from the W of 18 mph making it feel like 31 degrees. Humidity 32%, Barometer 30.22 & rising, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:21 am, Sunset 8:10 pm. Mix of sun and clouds today with gusty winds. W 20 -30 mph. High 47.

Cloudy tonight with a low of 33. WSW winds shifting to NNW 10 -20 mph.

Not a bad little morning going on. Some clouds flying by with a wind from the W starting to whip up. Should be moving around plenty of leaves today, maybe drying them out enough to be able to rake some of them up. A proper Spring day, it would seem.

Temperature 42 with an average wind from the SSW of 13 mph making it feel like 35 degrees. Dew Point 29, Humidity 59%, Barometer 30.02 & falling, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:22 am, Sunset 8:09 pm. A mix of morning sun and clouds will become overcast skies by afternoon with a slight chance of rain. High 52. SW winds 15 -25 mph.

Partly cloudy tonight with a slight chance of overnight rain. Low 34. WSW winds 10 -20 mph.

Not a very pretty day out there but it could be worse. Still waiting for a nice warm-up but it’ll come along eventually. Still small piles of dirty snow here and there and those, too, will be gone before too long. It’s April. How can we go wrong? We’re at least heading into the best of the year. That alone makes me happy.

Currently 30 with a SSW wind of 7 mph making it feel like 23 degrees. Dew Point 16, Humidity 56%, Barometer 30.35 & rising, Visibility 10 mil, Sunrise 7:24 am, Sunset 8:08 pm. Sunny morning will give way to an overcast afternoon. High 44. SW winds 10 -20 mph.

Cloudy overnight with a low of 36. SSW winds 10 -15 mph.

Our weather today is going to be a sunny, balmy 78 degrees with a soft southerly breeze of about 5 mph drifting and shifting the fresh air around. Yeah…April Fool’s Day Forecast. Actually, we’re going to still be stuck in this chilly, cloudy affair just waiting for niceness to descend on us. It really hasn’t yet.
