Murphy's Weather

Currently 27 with an average wind from the S of 7 mph. Feels like 18 degrees. Dew Point 26, Barometer 30.19, Humidity 94%, Visibility 7 mi., Sunrise 8:12 am, Sunset 5:28 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a 20% chance of light freezing drizzle & snow showers in the afternoon. High in the lower 30s. SW winds 5 -15 mph with gusts to 25.

Mostly cloudy overnight with a 30% chance of light freezing drizzle. Ice accumulation 1/10″ possible. Low in the upper 20s. SW winds 5 – 10 mph with gusts to 20.

Our forecasts are all over the place again. Some offering only snow coming, some tossing in the freezing drizzle. Sounds as if by the end of the week there might be a big snow maker entering our picture, so no matter what we get between now and then, we’ll end up with snow on the ground by next weekend. Sounds wintry.

Currently 30 with an average wind from the SE of 2 mph. Feels like 27 degrees. Dew Point 28, Barometer 30.29, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:27 pm.

20% chance of afternoon snow showers. High in the lower 30s. Light winds.

40% chance of overnight snow showers. Low in the mid 20s. Light winds becoming W 5 -10 mph in the afternoon.

So – now some snow has moved into our forecast during the week. Don’t see anything drastic, but then I didn’t even see the word snow involved just a few days ago. So changeable is the best way to describe our weather. So far our daytime temperatures are supposed to stay in the lower 30s up until next weekend, then they tumble down into a high in the 20s. Coldest part of winter coming at us – late January and through February, so this is not unexpected. Unappreciated, maybe, but nothing can be done about that.

Currently 30 with an average wind from the NW of 1 mph. Feels like 30 degrees. Dew Point 22, Barometer 30.28, Humidity 73%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:26 pm.

Sunny with a high in the lower 30s. Light winds.

Partly cloudy with a 20% chance of overnight snow showers. Low in the lower 20s. Light winds.

Today is a delightful day. The sun is shining with all its might and nary a cloud in sight at the moment. Love days like this…well, I’d love it more if it was 78 degrees, but hey…this isn’t June, this is January. So I’ll take this and be happy for it. The wintry mix or freezing drizzle seems at the moment to have been removed from tomorrow’s forecast, so hoping that holds.  Now it only says – on a few sites – a chance of flurries. But on all of them, it still appears as if we have at least another week of 30 or more degree days coming our way. All in all, an agreeable month, thus far. May it continue to be so.

Currently 23 with an average wind from the WNW of 5 mph. Feels like 23 degrees. Dew Point 22, Barometer 30.25, Humidity 95%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8;13 am, Sunset 5:24 pm.

Partly sunny with a high in the lower 30s. NE winds 5 – 10 mph.

Partly cloudy overnight with a low 15-20 degrees. Light winds.

Well, now they’ve – some of the weather sites – moved the chance of some freezing drizzle on Sunday. I’m hoping this doesn’t come about. Nothing worse than ice on the roads. Snow most people can handle, ice is another story entirely.  And it looks very much like we have maybe another week of daytime temperatures hovering around in the lower 30s before it plunges down into the 20s for our daytime comfort. Not looking forward to that. We all know it’s coming – it has to – but not anticipated with much joy.

Currently 31 with an average wind from the ENE of 4 mph. Feels like 26 degrees. Dew Point 30, Barometer 30.36, Humidity 96%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:23 pm.

Cloudy with a slight chance of snow flurries until midday. High in the mid 30s. NE winds 5 – 10 mph.

Mostly cloudy overnight with a low in the lower 20s. NE winds 5 -10 mph.

Yesterday the clouds did thin out enough to see patches of light blue overhead. Not a lot of color, but some color is better than none. Looking forward to more blue breaking through the clouds later today, too. Fingers crossed. Out daytime temperatures continue, if the forecast is to be believed, about freezing and I don’t see any drastic precipitation coming our way any time soon. So far, not a bad winter. May it continue to be accommodating.

Currently 34 with an average wind from the WNW of 3 mph. Feels like 34. Dew Point 32, Barometer 30.32, Humidity 95%, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 8:14 am, Sunset 5:22 pm.

Cloudy with a high in the mid 30s. Light winds.

Cloudy overnight with a chance of evening snow showers. Low in the upper 20s. Light winds.

Sure would like to see a cloudless, blue sky overhead. Not going to happen today, that’s for sure.  But in a few days we might be able to see some sunshine. Some is better than none at all. As of now, no big deal precipitation coming our way for a week or so but then the dread wintry mix shows up again. Those are not good words to read. Would rather be  seeing the opportunity for snow – and that’s not a happy thought all in itself. For now we seem to have some strange absence of snow here in SW Michigan and that’s not run of the mill for the month of January. Does this mean it will hit us eventually like a brick wall? Or is this going to continue to be a mild winter from beginning to end? That would make me happy but most certainly not snow/winter fans. They aren’t pleased at the way things are going. Oh well…can’t all be happy :>)

Currently 32 with a calm average wind from the SW. Feels like 32 degrees. Dew Point 32, Barometer 29.99, Humidity 100%, Visibility 1.5 mi., Sunrise 8:14 am, Sunset 5:21 pm.

30% chance of light freezing drizzle. Patchy fog. High mid 30s. NW winds 5 – 10 mph.

Cloudy with areas of fog and freezing fog overnight. How in the upper 20s. NW winds around 5 mph.

Just great. We can’t seem to get it  right at all. We don’t get snow, we get ice or sleet or in today’s case, freezing fog. If we’re going to have winter, just throw us the snow and stop playing goofy games, Mother Nature. Winter is bad enough with snow, having to deal with the rest of the miserable stuff is simply overkill. And it appears we can’t escape it for awhile. But…in so saying it does look as if we’re going to be basically free of snow for the next 10 days or so. Well, as of now. This freezing fog wasn’t in the picture either even yesterday. So…can things change and we dumped on? Most certainly. Fingers crossed we won’t, but still…

Currently 29 with an average wind from the SSE of 5 mph. Feels like 29 degrees. Dew Point 29, Barometer 29.99, Humidity 100%, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 8;14 am, Sunset 5:20 pm.

Cloudy with patchy fog. High in the mid 30s. SW winds 5 -10 mph with gusts to 20.

Cloudy with a 50% chance of overnight snow showers. Low in the upper 20s. SW winds 5 – 10 mph with gusts to 20 becoming W during the night.

Not much to say about today. Another sunless, gray day. A bit of fog tossed in for fun. Might get a bit of overnight snow. Nothing much that looks drastic in tap for the week – so far. Let’s hope that continues. We don’t really need any drastic winter weather here. Just the run of the mill stuff is bad enough.

Currently 29 with an average wind from the WNW of 4 mph. Feels like 25 degrees. Dew Point 29, Barometer 29.91, Humidity 100%, Visibility 4 mi., Sunrise 8:14 am, Sunset 5:19 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a 40% chance of snow showers until about midday. Patchy fog. High in the mid 30s. Light winds.

Mostly cloudy overnight with patchy fog. Low in the mid 20s. SW winds around 10 mph.

Well, tomorrow sounds cheerier. Might even see a peek at the sun now and again. I’m already tired of the gloomy  days of Winter. Days like this I’d as soon leave the blinds closed so I can at least pretend it’s a pretty day outside, even when, in fact, it’s ugly and gray. Does seem to be a decent week coming at us with no predicted precipitation. We all know how fast that can change, but my hopes are high they won’t.  We’ll see how it goes. I can take the cold long as I can see some bright blue sky, a tiny bit of sunshine now and again.
