Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2020-SW Michigan-Yesterday’s Sky Was Awesome

Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2020-SW Michigan-Yesterday’s Sky Was Awesome

Currently 53 with an average wind from the S of 6 mph. Feels like 48 degrees. Dew Point 29.48, Barometer 29.48 & falling, Humidity 90%, Visibility 8 mi., Sunrise 7:38 am, Sunset 7:26 pm.

70% chance of overnight rain. Low in the mid 40s. W winds 5 -10 mph becoming light.

Today’s sky is gloomy, cloudy. Yesterday’s sky, however, was awesome. Powerful, massive clouds. It was an interesting view with the brilliant white clouds against the bright blue sky. Nothing like that today. Happily I caught lots of pictures because today and tomorrow will offer up more clouds – and rain – than yesterday.

As of today it looks as if things are going to level off and our days should be in the low 60s, our nights in the 40 degree range. Nothing we can’t handle. Trees are changing rapidly these days – plenty of green yet, but the other colors are gaining rapidly.  Soon be time to haul out those leaf racks. Drat!

Currently 54 with an average wind from the W of 2 mph. Feels like 54 degrees. Dew Point 53, Barometer 29.72, Humidity 97%, Visibility 8 mi., Sunrise 7:37 am, Sunset 7:28 pm.

70% chance of rain showers. Patchy fog during the night. Low in the lower 40s. W winds 5 – 10 mph with gusts to 20.

Had rain during the night so it’s not only gloomy but damp outside. Not going to warm up to anything comfortable today, so it’s a dandy day for staying inside. Looks like more chilly days coming up this week. By Friday, it appears to be dipping into a high of 40. Not my kind of weather.

Sunday, Sept. 27, 2020-Feeling Of Change In The Air

Currently 70 with an average wind from the WSW of 5 mph. Feels like 70 degrees. Dew Point 61, Barometer 29.73, Humidity 74%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:36 am, Sunset 7:30 pm.

80% chance of overnight rain showers. Patchy overnight fog. Low in the lower 50s. N W winds around 10 mph.

Today has a feeling of things about to change to it. Jacketless but not for long. The rain will start later today or overnight and will keep on falling for the next 5 or 6 days – along with our temperatures. Mostly a high in the 50s. An occasional 60. Definitely has the feel of October approaching. Today is a dandy day for everyone around here to be scurrying about, tending to outside tasks. If we don’t get them done today – going to be awhile for another chance. So, as for me – I’m off and away to do just that.

Saturday, Sept 26, 2020-SW Michigan-Oh Oh, Jet Stream Getting Ready To Turn Mean

Saturday, Sept 26, 2020-SW Michigan-Oh Oh, Jet Stream Getting Ready To Turn Mean

Currently 65 with an average wind from the SSW of 4 mph. Feels like 65 degrees. Dew Point 59, Barometer 29.84, Humidity 80%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:35 am, Sunset 7:31 pm.

Partly sunny until about midday becoming mostly sunny. High around 80. SW winds 10 -15 mph with gusts to 25.

Partly cloudy. Low in the mid 60s. SW winds 10 -20 mph.

Today and tomorrow will give us comfortable temperatures but by the beginning of the week, and later in the week even more so, the numbers are going to take a tumble. Low pressure systems and the Jet Stream are combining to bring some cold  Canadian air down through the states. Later in the week a deeper dip into the country bringing even colder air down from even farther north.  Just get set, those who like the chillier fall temperatures. Things are going to swing your way. Sooner than I would like :>)

Thursday, Sept. 24, 2020-SW Michigan-A Few Sunny, Warm Days In Store

Thursday, Sept. 24, 2020-SW Michigan-A Few Sunny, Warm Days In Store

Currently 62 with an average wind from the WSE of 2 mph. Currently feels like 62. Dew Point 56, Barometer 29.97, Humidity 79%, Visibility 8 mi., Sunrise 7:32 am, Sunset 7:35 pm.

Mostly sunny. Patchy fog until midday. High in the mid 70s. SE winds 5 -10 mph.

Partly cloudy overnight with a low in the mid 50s. S winds around 5 mph.

Today and supposedly the next couple of days should be fantastic. Temperatures reaching hard up toward 80. Then the rains come and puts an end to that. By the time the rain gets finished washing away the pleasantness, the temperatures will be back down into the 50s. Such is life in the world of Mother Nature. She giveith and she takeith away. It’s our job to take advantage of the giving times and enjoy them. We do our best.

Partly cloudy tonight with a low in the mid 50s. SW winds around 5 mph.

It looks, as of now, like we have two or three nice days in store before about a solid week of rain sets in. I don’t think we’re going to like that. A little rain if fine. An excess is just that. I reckon the thing to do is get out and about and appreciate this sunshine while we have it. I know I plan on just that.

Looks like our temperatures are going to hover in the 70 degree days, 50 degree nights until the beginning of next week. Then it looks tobe slipping down about 10 degrees both day and night. Timely. It is, after all, Autumn.

Very pretty today but chilly. The trend for the coming week appears to be 70 degree days and 50 degree nights. Sounds perfectly fine to me. Could be – and will be soon enough – worse.
