Murphy's Weather

Currently 17 with an average wind from the W of 7 mph. Feels like 7 degrees. Dew Point 7, Humidity 66%, Barometer 30.21, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:35 am, Sunset 6:17 pm.

Wind Advisory in effect until 10 am Saturday. SW winds will become 20-30 mph with gusts to 45.

Mostly to partly cloudy today. High 27. SSW winds 15-25 mph.

Windy with a 70% chance of overnight snow showers. 1″ of snow possible. Low 14. W winds 25-35 with higher gusts.

Isn’t it amazing that the simple act of the clouds parting enough to create a hole for some bright blue sky to show through is exciting? With our dreary black, gray and white color scheme of winter, anything of color is gratefully welcomed. Blue sky? Fantastic. I can hardly wait for the green of spring to take over.

In the meantime, take care of anything left out that might blow around where you don’t want it to be. Going to get windy later on and overnight. A bit of snow to help liven things up. Should be interesting.

Currently 30 with an average wind from the N of 11 mph. Feels like 28 degrees. Dew Point 24, Humidity 82%, Barometer 30.04, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 7:36 am, Sunset 6:16 pm.

Temperatures will continue to fall through out the day. 70% chance of some afternoon snow. Around 1″ of snow expected. High in the low 30s. N winds 10-15 mph with higher gusts possible.

70% chance of evening snow. Not much more than an inch expected. Overcast skies the rest of the night. Low near 10. N winds 10 mph.

Again a predicted storm has set a path to the south of us leaving us on the outer, northern edges. To our south some substantial snow totals might be accumulated. Not here however. Sooner or later I think we’ll going to run out of luck and one of these storms will cover our area. For this one, our roads and sidewalks will likely get icy as the day goes along and the temperatures fall. Then covering them with snow won’t make it any better. Much cooler temperatures than yesterday will be our for awhile again. Just be careful.

Currently 46 with an average wind from the SSW of 9 mph. Feels like 43 degrees. Dew Point 33, Humidity 60%, Barometer 29.85, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 7:38 am, Sunset 6:14 pm.

90% chance of rain. High in the upper 40s. SW winds 15-25 with gusts to 45 mph.

Evening rain becomes a mix with snow. Snow accumulation 1″ or less. Low in the upper 20s. W winds 10-15 mph.

On the mild side today but be careful in the morning because roads, sidewalks, could be icy. This rain today is going to transition into much colder precipitation along the way tonight and become covered with snow tomorrow. How much snow? Once again, to me it looks as if we’re on the upper ridges of this storm system and to the south of us they will get a great deal more. For us? Maybe 2-4″, maybe less. And the temperatures will have dropped by tomorrow night back into the cruel side, quite cold. Enjoy today, wet as it will become, because we don’t get close to 50 degrees and rain all that much in February.

Currently 20 with an average wind from the SE of 7 mph. Feels like 11 degrees. Dew Point 15, Humidity 80%, Barometer 30.55, Visibility 8 mi., Sunrise 7:39 am, Sunset 6:13 pm.

Overcast today with a high of 31. SE winds 10-15 mph.

Mostly cloudy overnight with a low around 25. SSE winds 10-20 mph. Higher wind gusts possible.

Nothing much going on today but tomorrow you might need an umbrella. Then on Thursday, you’re going to be needing your snow shovel. Fun, isn’t it?  Anyway, snow accumulation on Thursday is ranging from 1-3″ to 2-4″ so I’d say just be prepared for snow and that’s about it for now. I guess if you have errands to run and have a choice, today might be the better one.

Currently 14 with an average wind from the NW of 1 mph. Feels like 7 degrees. Dew Point 12, Humidity 91%, Barometer 30.22, Visibility 8 mi., Sunrise 7:43 am, Sunset 6:13 pm.

Cloudy with about a 40% chance of some snow showers. HIgh in the lower 20s. SW winds 5-10 mph becoming 10-15 mph in the afternoon.

Overcast with a 20% chance of overnight snow showers. Low around 5. W winds 10 mph.

Temperatures will rise tomorrow and by Wednesday should be hovering near 50 degrees. Don’t get complacent about that though because the very next day the temperature will not only drop but be watchful of a fairly good snow storm. Once again, we could be teetering along on the top of that system and might not get as much as those slightly to the south of us. Another wait and see situation. Just the way it is. We get warm with rain one day and colder with snow the next. Just be ready for it all.

Currently 16 with an average wind from the W of 1 mph. Feels like 6 degrees. Dew Point 7, Humidity 70%, Barometer 30.3, Visibility 5 mi., Sunrise 7:44 am, Sunset 6:11 pm.

Partly cloudy with the chance of a few snow flurries or showers. High 19. NE winds 5-10 mph.

Partly cloudy to cloudy overnight. Low 7. Light and variable winds.

Very chilly out there this morning but it’s turned bright and makes it look warmer than it is. Hang in there because about Wednesday we could possibly be nearing 50. Yeah, seriously. Won’t stay there, but it see temperatures zooming into the upper 40s even for a day is encouraging that Spring is on the way. It’s not right around the corner yet but it’s on the road heading this way. Good enough. In the meantime, enjoy today’s sunshine and Wednesday’s temperatures.

Currently 17 with an average wind from the SW of 7 mph. Feels like 17 degrees. Dew Point 8, Humidity 67%, Barometer 30.3, Visibility 8 mi., Sunrise 7:45 am, Sunset 6:10 pm.

Cloudy and cold today with a chance of snow showers. High 18. NW winds 10-15 mph.

Cloudy overnight with a good chance of more snow showers.  Low 9. Light and variable winds.

This is going to be another brutal bout of cold for a few days. But by about mid-week our temperature will likely have climbed into the 40s. Just crazy ups and downs. And throw in snow flurries or showers just for fun. Yup – It’s February in Michigan.

Currently 36 with an average wind from the SW of 7 mph. Feels like 27 degrees. Dew Point 35, Humidity 67%, Barometer 29.51, Visibility 8 mi., Sunrise 7:47 am, Sunset 6:09 pm

Cloudy with a 70% chance of more snow showers. High near 40 degrees. WSW winds 10-15 mph.

Cloudy overnight with a 60% chance of snow showers. Low around 15. NW winds 10-20.

Woke to about 3″ of heavy snow this morning. This is ideal snowman making stuff. Also the heart attack kind so if you have to move any of it. If you do try to be cautious.  This is going to turn into a mess this afternoon as the temperatures rise and the precipitation turns into rain. Good idea then, if you can, to try and clear some of that away from your sidewalk or driveway because the temperatures are set to plunge again and it will all turn into ice. Not a good thought, but there it is. I guess this is the way it’s going to be going. Temps up and down and mixes of snow and rain. Doesn’t sound all that much fun, does it?

Currently 29 with an average wind from the W of 2 mph. Feels like 29 degrees. Dew Point 24, Humidity 80%, Barometer 29.89, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:48 am, Sunset 6:07 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a 60% chance of snow showers. High 29. W winds 10-15 mph.

Cloudy with a 90% chance of overnight snow. 1-3″ expected. Low 26 with temperatures rising to around 35. SSW winds 15-25 mph with higher gusts possible.

Expect it to be warmer toward tomorrow morning than today or this evening. But…that bit of warm up is probably going to bring snow along with it. Nothing spectacular, but more than we’re been getting. Looks like a bit of snow on Friday, too. Maybe a bit more on Saturday. Well, there’s the chance, a small chance, of snow flurries or showers darn near every day. Face it, it’s February. Can’t expect too much more than that. Just keep the boots and snow shovel handy.

Currently 34 with an average wind from the SW of 6 mph. Feels like 34 degrees. Dew Point 32, Humidity 90%, Barometer 29.67, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 7:49 am, Sunset 6:06 pm.

Cloudy with a 60% chance of afternoon snow showers. Temperatures near steady in the mid 30s. SW winds 10-20 mph.

Cloudy with a 70% chance of overnight snow showers. Low 25. W winds 10-15 mph.

Sounds like a few days of light snow but the coming weekend might be a winner. According to some weather sites anyway. Some not so much. Those offering us a bit of sunshine lift spirits merely by giving us the thought. I know it does mine. I guess it’s yet another wait and see forecast. And that makes me laugh. All boils down to a guessing game, doesn’t it? Flip a coin – heads snow, tails snow – or heads sunshine, tails sunshine – or a mix of both? Very professional.
