Murphy's Weather

Currently 50 with an average wind from the SSW of 13 with gusts to 22. Feels like 50 degrees. Dew Point 40, Barometer 29.89, Humidity 68%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:01 am, Sunset 6:43 pm.

Partly sunny until about midday becoming mostly sunny in the afternoon. High in the upper 50s. SSW winds 15-25 mph with gusts to 40.

Mostly clear overnight. Low in the lower 30s. W winds 5 -10 mph with gusts to 20.

So, we not only didn’t get any thunder last night, if we got rain, it was negligible. What we did get was some fierce winds that evidently blew the rain clouds right on out of our picture. As of now, in spite of the fact that out in the Denver area where they’re expecting a couple of feet of snow, and the East Coast where it looks to be some whopper of a storm weather is building, I don’t see much in the line of precipitation for our area for days. And then only a slight chance of some frozen mix about next Monday. Of course, we know perfectly well how fast things can change but for now it looks dry and breezy around here. I guess we’ll see how it goes but for the time being  nice temperatures and strong winds are taking care of a lot of the mountains of snow we’ve build up along the edges.

Currently 54 with an average wind from the SSE of 5 mph. Feels like 54 degrees. Dew Point 38, Barometer 30.02, Humidity 54%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:03 am, Sunset 6:42 pm.

Cloudy with a 20% chance of morning rain showers becoming partly sunny in the afternoon. High in the upper 60s. S winds 10-20 mph with gusts as high as 40.

60% chance of overnight rain shower. Low in the mid 50s. SW winds 15-20 mph with gust to 30-40 as the night continues.

So, we might get to hear some thunder tonight. Been some time since we’ve had a good rain with thunder and lightening.

Personally, I have just lost my oldest friend – so rain falling, like my tears, seems more than appropriate.

Currently 44 with an average wind from the ENE of 6 mph. Feels like 39 degrees. Dew Point 38, Barometer 30.33, Humidity 7 mi., Sunrise 7:05 am, Sunset 6:41 pm.

Partly sunny becoming mostly sunny in the afternoon. High in the mid 60s. SE winds around 10 mph becoming SW in the afternoon.

Partly cloudy overnight with a low in the mid 40s. S winds 5 -15 mph with gusts to around 25.

My goodness, just typing those numbers – low overnight temperature in the mid 40s? Might not stay there in a steady line, but just the fact that it’s starting to show up is encouraging. Even the fact that they are now starting to toss in the words snow showers for a couple of days next week – not any biggie. Spring has sprung. It may hop around a bit, play coy once in awhile, be elusive on occasion. But it’s here anyway.

Currently 48 with an average wind from the S of 5 mph. Feels like 23 degrees. Dew point 32, Barometer 30.22, Humidity 54%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:06 am, Sunset 6:39 pm.

Mostly sunny today with a high in the lower 50s. SW winds 5-15 mph with gusts to around 30.

Partly cloudy in the evening becoming mostly cloudy with overnight fog. Widespread freezing fog very possible. Low in the lower 30s. W winds around 10 mph becoming light.

Scary thought to wake up in the morning for the daily commute and having to face freezing fog. That’s a slippery danger to have to deal with. Just be cautious in the morning. Might be a problem, might not, just be prepared for the possibility.

Tomorrow could jolly well bring us our first 60 degree day in a long time, too. Some rain almost definite tomorrow and Wednesday, but we can use it to help us clear away winter. Still some chilly overnight temperatures coming our way, below freezing, but we’re heading in the right direction now. So eventually even the nighttime temps are going to be more comfortable.

Currently 31 with an average wind from the NE of 2 mph. Feels like 31 degrees. Dew Point 15, Barometer 30.43, Humidity 50%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:08 am, Sunset 6:38 pm.

Sunny today with a high around 40. Light winds.

Partly cloudy with a low in the lower 30s. SE winds 5 -10 mph becoming S 5 -1 5 mph with gusts to 25.

It’s a pretty day today. Sunshine bright sky. But it’s cold. Still looking at at least one 60 degree day coming up this week and still looking at a couple of fairly certain rainy days. Looking forward to those days to help diminish the mountains of dirty looking snow. They’re not a pretty sight. But today is nippy and won’t be warming up much. I’ll take the sunshine even if the temperature is not rising up enough to make me comfortable. Bottom line, snow mountains on the way down, temperatures on the way up. It’s all on the way. That’s all that counts.

Currently 29 with an average wind from the WNW 5 mph. Feels like 29 degrees. Dew Point 24, Barometer 30.32 & falling, Humidity 80%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:10 am, Sunset 6:37 pm.

Sunny with a high in the upper 30s. NW winds 5- 15 mph.

Mostly clear overnight with a low 15-20 degrees. N W winds 5-10 in the evening becoming light.

Okay, so it looks like we’re heading to a couple of 60 degree days about midweek – won’t stay there yet, but hey even for a couple of days, it’s welcome. We’ll be in line for some rain then, too. About Wednesday or Thursday we might see some thundershowers and I’m so looking forward to that. Not only for the sight and sound of it, but because it will go a long ways, along with the warmer temperature, of helping to eliminate some snow cover. It’s a Spring-like week ahead. Nice.

Currently 29 with an average wind from the SSW of 4 mph .Feels like 21 degrees. Dew Point 22, Barometer 30.31, Humidity 77%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:12 am, Sunset 6:36 pm.

Mostly sunny today with a high in the lower 40s. NW winds 5 -15 mph.

Mostly clear with a low in the lower 20s. NW winds 5- 10 with gusts to 20 in the evening.

Next week we’re looking at warmer temperatures and some rain. Hopefully that will go a long way toward getting rid of the dirty piles of snow stacked up everywhere. Will we end up getting more snow? Oh, probably. But if we do, it won’t last long since we are finally heading in the right direction. The in between weather that bothers me the most and I keep hoping we won’t get is the freezing rain stuff. It always happens at some point when the seasons are busy shifting but it is the worst. If we’re going to get another blast to two of winter before it gives up and leaves, let’s hope it’s just snow. That is so much easier to cope with than ice. For the most part, though, the weather picture is definitely looking up.

Currently 27 with an average wind from the WSW of 6 mph. Feels like 17 degrees. Dew Point 20, Barometer 30.26, Humidity 74%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:13 am, Sunset 6:34 pm.

Partly sunny today with a high in the mid 30s. N winds 5 -10 mph.

Mostly clear tonight with a low somewhere between 15-20 degrees. N winds 5 – 10 mph.

Okay, no more hinting, now it’s a flat out showing of 60 degrees for next week. Looks like Tuesday is going to be the best opportunity. I am SO ready for these lovely warmer temperatures to get to us. I am so confident of an early Spring that I went out and bought a new round of ant traps. Seriously. My apartment seems to be ground zero for tiny ants to appear in the Spring. It’s a constant battle between me and the little invaders all the time warm weather is with us. That’s okay. I’m bigger, hopefully smarter, and so far triumphant. This year I’m laying ’em down early, getting prepared for the influx. Much as I hate unwanted creatures in my home, I don’t even mind the thought of the coming contest of wills between me and them. I’m ready. Bring on Spring. Bring on warmer weather. Bring on the ants – I’m ready. :>)

Currently 25 with an average wind from the S of 5 mph. Feels like 15 degrees. Dew Point 15, Barometer 30.31, Humidity 67%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:16 am, Sunset 6:33 pm.

Lots of sunshine today. High 37. SW winds 15-25 with higher gusts possible.

A few overnight clouds. Low 31. WSW winds 10-20 mph.

Pretty nippy this morning at 15 degrees when I went out to feed the critters, but knowing this is going away and things will warm up made it all if not okay, at least acceptable. Plenty of blue skies showing up and blue is such a lovely color after so many days with nothing but gray skies hovering over us. Can hardly wait for the ground to turn green. Ahhh….lovely days ahead. Could we get more snow? Certainly we could, but there again, knowing it’s temporary will make it bearable. We’re on the way to flowers and warm breezes and sweet summer days. Just knowing we’re heading in the right direction is uplifting. Can’t you feel your spirits rising? Yup…I know you can.
