Murphy's Weather

Currently 35 with an average wind from the SSW of 7 mph. Feels like 35 degrees. Dew Point 30, Barometer 26.6 & rising, Humidity 81%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:09 am, Sunset 5:04 pm.

Mostly sunny this morning becoming mostly cloudy in the afternoon. High in the mid 30s. W winds 15-20 with gusts to 30.

60% chance of overnight snow. 1″ or less expected. Low around 20. MW 15-20 mph.

Today will be a lovely day. Lots of sunshine with more or less comfortable (for January) temperatures. That changes starting tomorrow when our temperatures will once again drop down into the more January expected range. Since the ice cover over the Great Lakes is at such a low level (about 3.9% rather than the 19% that should be in place by now) we can expect to begin seeing some frequent Lake Effect Snow as a result. And a lot of it might descend on our area rather than the usual north and northwest parts of Michigan we’ve been seeing so far. We’ll see how it goes. Nothing changes quicker than weather conditions – especially in a mostly water surrounded state like Michigan. But right now it looks like colder with some snow in our forecast. Just not today. Today will be a dandy.

Currently 21 with an average wind from the SSW of 3 mph. Feels like 15 degrees. Dew Point 19, Barometer 30.16, Humidity 92%, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 8:08 am, Sunset 5:39 pm.

Got around an inch and a half of snow last night. Light flurries showing up off and on this morning and it sounds as if we’re set to get more tonight. At least tomorrow it appears as if we’ll see peeks at the sun. Looking forward to it. Woke this morning to see a very big bird – I think it’s a Falcon – disposing of one of the Mourning Doves. Wasn’t at all pleased to see this and yes, I do understand the way things go. Everything is fodder for anything meaner & more determined than they are. Even us – take a good look at what’s going on today. We – the majority of America – have become roadkill for China-owned Liberals.  It’s a cold day in our country for many reasons. Seasonal and senseless.

Currently 27 with an average wind from the SSW of 11 mph. Feels like 17 degrees. Dew Point 20, Barometer 30.14 & rising, Humidity 75%, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 8:08 am, Sunset 5:38 pm.

Mostly cloudy with flurries early. Low 19, WNW winds 5 – 10 mph.

We are still – thankfully – escaping the brunt of snow systems that seem to be staying either to the north or the south of us. We are getting light snow off and on, but so far, nothing extreme, nothing as harsh as it could be – probably should be – this time of year. So far, so good. Not for the snow enthusiasts but for people like me just hanging in here until Spring rescues us from the ugliness of winter, it’s a dandy up to now. Are we going to continue to be so lucky? I highly doubt it, but am enjoying what’s been our luck so far.

Currently 31 with an average wind from the SSW of 2 mph. Feels like 24 degrees. Dew Point 28, Barometer 29.84, Humidity 90%, Visibility 1.8 mi., Sunrise 8:09 am, Sunset 5:36 pm.

Cloudy today with a 50% chance of snow showers. High in the lower 30s. W winds around 10 mph.

70% chance of overnight snow showers. Low in the mid 20s. W winds 5 – 15 mph.

Going to be a chilly week. Some snow today, tomorrow. Maybe a bit of sunshine on Thursday, but that’s the  only day to even dare to mention something as happy as that. About what we expect this time of year. It’s a gray, colorless time in SW Michigan. By the middle of February the soul cries out for color. Alas…nothing to do but keep crying for another month or so – at least. Oh well, nice will come back around eventually. At least with the weather.

Currently 34 with an average wind from the W of 3 mph. Feels like 34 degrees. Dew Point 29, Barometer 29.70 & falling, Humidity 81%, Visibility 1.5 mi., Sunrise 8:09 am, Sunset 5:35 pm.

Cloudy with a 50% chance of snow showers. Some fog. Temperatures holding steady in the mid 30s. WNW winds 5 – 10 mph.

Cloudy tonight with a few flurries possible. Low 26. Light and variable winds.

Rather an interesting morning. A bit foggy with off and on snow flurries. No sunshine at all possible today. In fact, maybe not until around Thursday could we see perhaps a peek of sunshine making its way down to us. In the meantime, what we have is what we’ll get – more or less. Could be worse, so we can definitely live with this.

Currently 29 with an average wind from the SSE of 7 mph. Feels like 22 degrees. Dew Point 28, Barometer 29.60, Humidity 95%, Visibility 5 mi., Sunrise 8:10 am, Sunset 5:33 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a 60% chance of rain/snow showers. High 36. SW winds 5 – 10 mph.

Cloudy overnight with a 40% chance of snow showers. Low near 30. WNW winds 5 – 10 mph.

Peering ahead, it looks like a bit of a chance nearly every day for snow showers of some sort. Nothing drastic – so far – just rather continuous. Could be so much worse than what we’re dealing with that really not too many folks can rightfully complain. Plenty of places around the country are dealing with far worse than our dreary cloudiness and constant snow showers.

Currently 33 with an average wind calm from the North. Feels like 33 degrees. Dew Point 32, Barometer 29.56, Humidity 98%, Visibility 0.86 mi., Sunrise 8:10 am, Sunset 5:32 pm.

Cloudy today with a 100% chance of rain/snow. Temperatures holding steady in the lower 30s. Light and variable winds.

Cloudy tonight with a 40% chance of more snow showers. Low 29. Light winds.

This morning is interesting. Nothing, then what looks like rain. Then what is surely snow. Goodness knows what our roads and yards will look like by the end of the day. Checking most weather reporting stations it looks very much like by the end of the week, everything will look snowy because it seems to be in the forecast almost every day. Not a cheery week. A good week to start thinking about Spring. Of course, I, personally, start thinking about Spring somewhere in the middle of Autumn, but hey…that’s just me. The person who loves sunshine and warmth.

Currently 32 with an average wind from the ENE of 5 mph. Feels like 28 degrees. Dew Point 30, Barometer 29.71, Humidity 93%, Visibility 1.5 mi., Sunrise 8:11 am, Sunset 5:31 pm.

Cloudy with patchy fog. A 20% chance of  light rain/snow showers. High around 40. E winds 5 – 15 mph.

90% chance of snow showers possibly mixed with rain. Low in the lower 30s. SE winds 5 -15 mph.

Well, here we are with a temperature today that might reach up to 40 degrees. Didn’t think we’d see another one of these for awhile. Going to enjoy the dickens out of it cause it sounds like we’ve got nothing but snow. Temperatures dipping into the 20s, not many stretching to the 30s, from now on. Today will be a dandy day to get out and about and tend to errands that need to be run.

Temperature 34 with an average wind from the SSW of 2 mph. Feels like 32 degrees. Dew Point 34, Barometer 29.8, Humidity 98%, Visibility 5 mi., Sunrise 8:12 am, Sunset 5:30 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a high in the upper 30s. SW winds 5 – 15 mph.

Mostly cloudy overnight with a 20% chance of rain or snow showers. Low in the lower 30s. S winds 5 – 10 mph.

Well, the lovely South winds are blowing in a bit of warmth today and tomorrow. Won’t last long, but sure appreciate while here. Actually, though it now looks as if our 30 degree days might last through the week. Surprising. More snow is coming in starting Friday and looks to be hanging around for some time – as given the proper order of things, it should. This is, after all, January. For me, long as it’s not bitter cold, I can take the snow. It’s the cold I detest with my entire being.

Currently 28 with an average wind from the SSE of 4 mph. Feels like 28 degrees. Dew Point 28, Barometer 30.02, Humidity 100%, Visibility 4 mi., Sunrise 8;12 am, Sunset 5:29 pm

Cloudy with a 40% chance of freezing drizzle. Patchy fog all day. High in the mid 30s. SW winds 5-15 with gusts to 25.

Cloudy overnight with patchy fog. Low around 30. SW winds 5 -10 mph.

A Weather Advisory is in effect until somewhere around noon. Freezing Drizzle and Patchy Fog is making traveling around a bit scary. Hopefully folks will be cautious and slow down. A possibility, a slim one I know, but hopeful. Another chance for frozen mix about next Thursday, and then days of snow. A miserable part of winter is upon us.
