Wednesday, Nov. 10, 2021-SW Michigan-Enjoy The Sunshine, Rain Coming

Currently 32 with an average wind from the E of 2 mph. Feels like 32 degrees. Dew Point 31, Humidity 95%, Barometer 30.23, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:28 am, Sunset 5:23 pm.

Some clear skies this morning with clouds moving in. Those clouds will usher in days of rain culminating in a rain/snow event for Sunday. Sounds like fun, doesn’t it? No. No, it doesn’t, but that seems to be what’s on tap for us. So…get out there and enjoy today.

Tuesday, Nov. 9, 2021-SW Michigan-Might Get A Bit Of Rain Today

Tuesday, Nov. 9, 2021-SW Michigan-Might Get A Bit Of Rain Today

Currently 46 with an average wind from the NE of 5 mph. Feels like 46 degrees. Dew Point 42, Humidity 76%, Barometer 30.19, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:28 am, Sunset 5:26 pm.

Cloudy with a 70% chance of light rain and patchy fog. High 57. NE winds 5 -10 mph.

Partly cloudy overnight with a low of 29 degrees. Light and variable winds.

Maybe some rain today but tomorrow might bring us some sunshine. Soak it up if it does arrive ’cause the next handful of days sound dreary. Sunday sound positively miserable. A chance of a rain/snow mix and cold. So…today, rain or not sounds not so bad in comparison.  I guess the secret is to relish whatever we get that’s in the least bit comfortable.

Monday, Nov. 8, 2021-SW Michigan-Lovely Beginning To The Week

Monday, Nov. 8, 2021-SW Michigan-Lovely Beginning To The Week

Currently 53 with an average wind from the SW of 6 mph. Feels like 53 degrees. Dew Point 44, Humidity 70%, Barometer 30.09, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7;27 am, Sunset 5:27 pm.

Lots of sunshine today. High 61. WSW winds 10-15 mph.

Partly cloudy will becoming mostly cloudy after midnight. Low 44. Light and variable winds.

This week will be starting warm and friendly, will end with chilly and probable rainy. Thursday will usher in the rain that will bring the colder temperatures with it. We know this warmth can’t last. Not in November. Not in Michigan. But it’s grand while it’s here. A good few days to get the leaves taken care of … except perhaps tomorrow might bring a little rain with it. Still comfortable, but there is a small chance it might not be quite so dry.

Sunday, Nov. 7, 2021-SW Michigan-Great Weather For A Few Days

Sunday, Nov. 7, 2021-SW Michigan-Great Weather For A Few Days

Currently 54 with an average wind from the SW of 1 mph. Feels like 54 degrees. Dew Point 47, Humidity 84%, Barometer 30.15, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:26 am, Sunset 5:28 pm.

Partly cloudy today with a high of 62. SW winds 10-15 mph.

A few evening clouds will give way to a clear overnight sky. Low 43. SSW winds 5 -10mph.

A lovely couple of sunny days for us. Even then, Tuesday won’t be bad, just cloudy. Some rain for a few and then it’s back to cold weather. So enjoy the heck out of what we’re getting. November, as we all know here in Michigan, could be SO much worse by now.

Saturday, Nov. 6, 2021-SW Michigan-Remember The Dread Time Change Tonight

Saturday, Nov. 6, 2021-SW Michigan-Remember The Dread Time Change Tonight

Currently 34 with an average wind from the SSW of 2 mph. Feels like 31 degrees. Dew Point 31, Humidity 74%, Barometer 30.24, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:25 am, Sunset 6:29 pm.

Some morning clouds will become a mostly sunny afternoon. High 55. SSW winds 10-20 mph.

A few passing overnight clouds. Low 40. SW winds 5 -10 mph.

Relish these comfortable days we have coming our way for awhile. By this time next week we’ll be down to the lower 40s daytime and freezing nights.  Now would be a good time to tend to any outdoor tasks that need doing.  And now would be a good time to hope that eventually someone with an ounce of sense in government gets down to getting rid of this disruptive, unnecessary messing around with our clocks twice a year. You’d think by now, somebody would have tumbled to the fact that most of America hates this. Pick a time. Any time. Standard, Daylight Savings…what ever. Just pick one and stick to it.

Friday, Nov. 5, 2021-SW Michigan-Warming Back Up For Awhile

Friday, Nov. 5, 2021-SW Michigan-Warming Back Up For Awhile

Currently 31 with an average wind from the SW of 1 mph. Feels like. 31 degrees. Dew Point 33, Humidity 90%, Barometer 30.37, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:23 am, Sunset 6:30 pm.

Cloudy with decreasing clouds as the day progresses. High in the lower 50s. SW winds 5 – 15 mph.

Partly cloudy overnight with a low in the mid 30s. S winds 5 -10 mph with gusts to 20.

We are in for a warm up. Could even see a few 60 degree days the beginning of the week. Lovely weather for November and I’m thrilled with it. All too soon when our days dip down into cold, they’re going to be staying there for some time to come. Thank you Jet Stream for moving on down the line.

Thursday, Nov. 4, 2021-SW Michigan-Still Chilly But Warmer Is Coming

Thursday, Nov. 4, 2021-SW Michigan-Still Chilly But Warmer Is Coming

Currently 33 with an a calm wind from the WSW. Feels like 33 degrees. Dew Point 33, Humidity 92%, Barometer 30.35, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:22 am, Sunset 6:32 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a few peeks of sunshine possible during the day. High 45. W winds 5 -10 mph.

Partly cloudy becoming mostly cloudy after midnight. Low 35. Light and variable winds.

The Jet Stream is still being stubborn enough to keep us tucked firmly into the cold air, but in a few days it will have meandered a bit farther to the East. Good news for us as we should no longer be in that big dip holding all that chilly air. So looking forward to it. We should be able to have a handful of 50 degree days. Won’t last, as it will fall back into the 40s later next week, but for a couple of days it will feel somewhat better when you step out that door.

Currently 28 with a calm wind from the SSW. Feels like 28 degrees. Dew Point 29, Humidity 100%, Barometer 30.39, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8: 21 am, Sunset 6:33 pm.

Partly to mostly cloudy with a 50% chance of developing a frozen mix. High 44. W winds 5 – 10 mph.

Partly cloudy to mostly cloudy with a 50% chance of rain/snow overnight. Low in the upper 20s. Light winds.

It’s cold out there this morning. Still some blue skies showing but whatever sun is breaking through is not warming this up at all so far. Hopefully next week will be a tad more comfortable. Looks to be some 50 degree days coming back to us. Can’t wait.

Tuesday, Nov. 2, 2021-SW Michigan-Could See A Flake Or Two

Tuesday, Nov. 2, 2021-SW Michigan-Could See A Flake Or Two

Currently 34 with an average wind from the SW of 1 mph. Feels like 34 degrees. Dew Point 30, Humidity 70%, Barometer 30.26, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:19 am, Sunset 6:34 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a slight chance of a rain shower. A few snowflakes could be mixed in there. High 43. WNW winds 10-20 mph.

Partly cloudy with a slight chance of a rain/wet snow falling. Low 27. WW winds 5 – 10 mph.

A rather dreary day. Could get even more so if wet snowflakes visit us today/tonight. It’s a loathsome idea. This isn’t a pleasant week, the one Mother Nature has granted us this time around. We’ll get through it but it could get nippy as we pass through it. Unfortunately my heated bird bath hasn’t arrived and it does look as if tonight could make the one I have in the backyard a bit more solid than usual by morning. Woe…

Monday, Nov. 1, 2021-SW Michigan-Nov Beginning With A Chilly Week

Monday, Nov. 1, 2021-SW Michigan-Nov Beginning With A Chilly Week

Currently 44 with an average wind from the W of 11 mph. Feels like 42 degrees. Dew Point 30, Humidity 64%, Barometer 30.21, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:18 am, Sunset 6:35 pm.

An early mix of sun and clouds becoming all clouds in the afternoon. High 46. W winds 10-20 mph.

Cloudy overnight skies. Low 33. W winds 5 -10 mph.

The Jet Stream continues its deep dip down into the country, leaving us smack dab in the middle of some below normal, chilly air this week. I guess it’s not an unusual beginning for the month of November, but with the pleasant weather we’ve had for so long, this is a bit of an unwelcome event. We’ll weather it, of course (no pun intended..or maybe just a little one)  Looks maybe back into some low 50 degree days next week. Sounds good to me. In the meantime, enjoying the thick carpet of confetti color the falling leaves presents. Seems plenty of green leaves still clinging to the branches, but the color is falling at a good pace lately.
