Currently 58 with an average wind from the SSW of 3 mph. Feels like 58 degrees. Dew Point 55, Humidity 29.76, Barometer 30.07, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:04 am, Sunset 6:51 pm.

Cloudy with a 40% chance of off and on rain today. A high of 57 degrees. W winds 10-20 mph.

Partly to mostly cloudy. Low 37. NNW winds 10-20 mph.

A few good rains last night, best one around midnight, with lots of lightening. Measured .42″ of rain in the gauge this morning. Looking ahead there are some 40 degree days and some 30 degree nights showing up. It’s that time. Time to go shopping for a heated bird bath for me ’cause last year mine bit the dust. Alas…

At any rate, a rather colorless fall pattern in play this time around. Some gold, a lot of brown and rust showing up but none of the brilliance that makes driving around seeking out the best color shots for pictures. Not this time around. Hopefully next year. Now wondering what the LaNina weather pattern is going to present us with. Seen several forecasts but for me it looks like maybe not so cold, but more snow. Of course that could become colder but with less snow in a heartbeat. That’s Michigan winter. Who knows? We just take what we get.

Currently 50 with an average wind from the NE of 1 mph. Feels like 50 degrees. Dew Point 51, Humidity 92%, Barometer 30.07, Visibility 9 mil, Sunrise 8:03 am, Sunset 6:53 pm.

Partly cloudy morning will becoming overcast with a 20% chance of afternoon rain. High 71. SW winds 5 – 10 mph.

60% chance of overnight rain. Low 57. S winds 5 – 10 mph.

Looks like rain later today and tomorrow. Then the powers that be seem to have painted rain in the picture for Sunday. Not good news for all of those who depend on that day for getting things done, but nothing we can do about it. Except plan and hope for another day that’s better.  Also looks like this is about the last of our 70 degree days, too. Said goodbye to the 80s a bit back and now these vanish. Drat. Mostly 50 degree days heading out way with maybe a sprinkling of 60 now and then later next week. But don’t be looking for anything warmer than that for us for a good long while. Probably not in the cards for us.

Currently 37 with a calm wind from the SW. Feels like 37 degrees. Dew Point 43, Humidity 100%, Barometer 30.09, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 8:02 am, Sunset 6:54 pm.

Partly cloudy today with a high of 71. SW winds 10-15 mph.

Mostly clear overnight. Low 45. SW winds 5 -10 mph.

Today and tomorrow we should be seeing 70 degree temperatures but looks like mostly 50 degree days coming after that. The rain on Thursday should be instrumental in ushering in the 50s and shooing off the 70s. Nice while they’re here though.

Seeing and hearing that dread S word now on the national weather maps. Thankfully it’s still out in the west but we know how it goes, don’t we? Eventually it’s going to weasel its way into our weather system and there we’ll be…cold and frozen again. If wishes could hold it off…..

Currently 40 with a calm wind. Feels like 40 degrees. Dew point 44, Humidity 100%, Barometer 30.13, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:00 am, Sunset 6:56 pm.

Sunny today with a high of 67. WSW winds 5 -10 mph.

Clear overnight. Low 45. Light and variable winds.

Get ready for a lovely Tuesday and Wednesday this week. As of now, both days should be at 70 degrees with sunshine. Can not get better than that for mid-October. So, it’s going to rain on Thursday and usher in some cooler temperatures, but hey…until then enjoy. I know I sure will.

Currently 59 with an average wind from the W of 4 mph. Feels like 59 degrees. Dew Point 41, Humidity 56, Barometer 30.04, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:59 am, Sunset 6:57 pm.

Lots of sunshine today. High around 62 degrees. WNW winds 10-20 mph.

Clear overnight skies. Low 41. NW winds 5 – 10 mph.

A great week coming our way. Tuesday sounds like the best day with a high near 70. Maybe some rain on Thursday but other than that nothing but great Autumn weather for us. Sounds delightful.

Currently 49 degrees with an average wind from the W of 10 mph. Feels like 49 degrees. Dew Point 43, Humidity 83%, Barometer 29.88, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:58 am, Sunset 6:59 pm.

Mostly sunny becoming partly sunny this afternoon. High 51. WNW winds 10-20 mph.

Partly cloudy overnight skies. Low 43. WNW winds 5 -10 mph.

Had a bit of rain – .15″ in the rain gauge this morning. But until about next Thursday, we aren’t looking at any rain coming our way. Should be a great week with a few days of temperature in the upper 60s. Can’t ask for more or better this time of year.

Currently 54 with an average wind from the SE of 1 mph. Feels like 54 degrees. Dew Point 53, Humidity 100%, Barometer 29.89, Visibility 5 mi., Sunrise 7:57 am, Sunset 7:01 pm.

Increasing clouds with a 40% chance of afternoon rain showers. High 66. N winds 5 – 10 mph.

40% chance of evening rain showers with overcast skies the rest of the night. Low 47. NW winds 5-10 mph.

Nothing earth shattering coming but colder weather is on the way for us. No freeze or frost in view yet but we know that’s only a matter of time. In the meanwhile our temperatures will remain comfortable for mid October. This is definitely the month to get busy and get ready for the coming winter season. October also brings us plenty of opportunity for rain so working in the chores between rains is the key to success. But time is flitting, this is, after all the middle of October so whatever tasks you have on hand you might want to address now rather than later. Mother Nature isn’t known for accommodating humans to any great degree.

Currently 68 with an average wind from the SW of 7 mph. Feels like 68 degrees. Dew Point 67, Humidity 100%, Barometer 29.86, Visibility 4 mi., Sunrise 7:56 am, Sunset 7:02 pm.

50% chance of morning rain with overcast afternoon skies. High 67. WSW winds 10-15 mph.

Partly cloudy overnight with a slight chance of rain. Low 48. Light and variable winds.

Measured .38″ of rain in the gauge this morning with more to discover later on. Raining off and on – mostly on – all morning so far. Tomorrow and probably Saturday look for a little more rain, but from Sunday on it’s going to be terrific. Cooler than we’ve been which will make a lot of folks happy and no rain in view. Good week to get outside things that need to be done, done.

Currently 60 degrees with an average wind from the SSW of 4 mph. Feels like 60 degrees. Dew Point 60, Humidity 99%, Barometer 29.98, Visibility 1.5 mi., Sunrise 7:54 am, Sunset 7:04 pm.

Foggy this morning. Mostly cloudy with a high of 71 degrees. SSW winds 5 – 10 mph.

Cloudy with a 50% chance of rain mostly after midnight. Some thunder is possible. Low 64. SSE winds 5 – 10 mph.

Some rain tomorrow and probably Friday but the rest of the week ahead is looking good. 60 degrees for the most part and no precip predicted. Not that we won’t get any. Like we’ve noted before October is a month when rain can crop up seemingly out of the blue, but as of now now in sight. Looks like a good Autumn week coming up.

Currently 62 with an average wind from the SW of 3 mph. Feels like 62 degrees. Dew Point 61, Humidity 99%, Barometer 29.78, Visibility 5 mi., Sunrise 7:53 am, Sunset 7:06 pm.

60% chance of showers becoming less numerous as the day progresses. High 66, SW winds 10-20 mph.

Cloudy with a 24% chance of overnight showers. Low 57. WSW winds 5 -10 mph.

As always seems to happen, there seemed to be a thin part of yesterday’s storm system as it races up from the south to the north of us. And we were once again in that less harsh part of it. Not complaining, just explaining. Here I measured only .55″ of rain. Had a very strong wind for a brief while, but it died down and except for thunder and lightening, nothing of note here. I’m sure, looking at the size of that storm and the fact that hazardous storm warnings had been posted, others did not fare so well, but that’s the story from here.

Several days of rain are coming to us still. Sunday, through what I can see of next week, sounds to be clear and comfortable. Maybe a good time to get things done before the clear and comfortable become a thing of the past? Does not make me happy hearing about the snowfall already in the West. I know it’s coming to us eventually – but never ready nor thrilled when that happens. Won’t be long before I start dreaming about how nice it was to be able to open the door and walk out without a coat, hat, glove, boots…yuck!
