Monday, April 10, 2023-SW Michigan-Mostly Sunny Week Coming Our Way

Monday, April 10, 2023-SW Michigan-Mostly Sunny Week Coming Our Way

Currently 55 with an average wind from the S of 7 mph. Feels like 55 degrees. Dew Point 32, Barometer 30.28, Humidity 41%, Visibility 10 mil, Sunrise 7:09 am, Sunset 8:18 pm.

Lots of nice days ahead this week and still looking at the possibility of a rather windy day on Wednesday.  Nice right up until – dare I say it – the weekend. For now it does appear as if next Saturday and Sunday may be wet ones. But of course, we all know how quickly and thoroughly things can change by then. In the meantime, enjoy each and every sunny day we do get.

Could hardly ask for better Easter weather. Clear blue skies and comfortable temperatures.  Actually, look for much like this coming our way. Perhaps a bit of a windy day on Wednesday but seems as if no precipitation is in our forecast for the present time.

I hope you all have a lovely Easter Sunday.

Look for a week of nice Spring weather coming our way. Some days in the 70-degree range, some in the 60s, but all of them with at least some sunshine.  Should be a great Easter weekend. Mild with no rain. Couldn’t really ask for more than this and it’s most welcome.

Friday, April 7, 2023-SW Michigan-Plenty Of Sunshine On The Way

Partly cloudy with a low in the lower 30s. Light winds becoming SE 5-10 mph overnight.

Nothing but lovely weather coming our way for the next week. Plenty of sun shining and the temperatures will gradually rise well into the 70s. Not a single thing to complain about with this forecast. We all know how fast things can crop up here in Michigan to put a crimp in our weather expectations, but so far looks like nary a single thing in line anxious to assume that role. Just weather to enjoy getting out and about in to start those inevitable springtime clean ups.

Thursday, April 6, 2023-SW Michigan-Missed Bad Storms Again

Thursday, April 6, 2023-SW Michigan-Missed Bad Storms Again

Currently 36 with an average wind from the SW of 4 mph. Feels like 27 degrees. Dew Point is 30. Barometer reading is 30.11. Visibility is 10 mi. Sunrise 7:16 am, Sunset 8:14 pm.

Mostly clear. Low in the upper 20s. W winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 20 bec9oming NW overnight.

Once again we lucked out and missed out on what could have been potentially bad storms. No complaints about that. Except for a couple of good rains and some thunder I didn’t see much of anything around here. Looking at plenty of sunshine coming our way. Not overly warm for the next couple of days but it’s on the way. We should be hitting the 60s soon and next week the 70s start to show up. Sure anxious for that. Seems like it’s forever getting here.

Wednesday, April 5, 2023-SW Michigan-Dangerous Weather Day

Wednesday, April 5, 2023-SW Michigan-Dangerous Weather Day

Currently 61 with an average wind from the S of 3 mph. Feels like 61 degrees. Dew Point 63, Barometer 29.49, Humidity 100%, Visibility 6 mi., Sunrise 7:17 am, Sunset 8:13 pm.

Clearing overnight with a low in the mid 30s. W winds 10-20 mph with gusts to 30.

Look forward to some sunny days coming our way after we get through this mess. Today be careful and pay attention to any weather alerts issued. Our chance of a tornado isn’t super great, but the threat is there all day long. Something can pop up very quickly. And the danger from lightening is very much with us all day, so stay aware of what’s going on.

Tuesday, April 4, 2023-SW Michigam-Prepare For Possible Rough Weather Tomorrow

Tuesday, April 4, 2023-SW Michigam-Prepare For Possible Rough Weather Tomorrow

Currently 43 with an average wind from the ENE of 5 mph. Feels like 39 degrees. Dew Point 43, Barometer 29.84, Humidity 100%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:19 am, Sunset 8:12 pm.

Windy with a 40% chance of rain with a slight chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. High in the mid 50s. E winds 15-20 mph with gusts to 30 increasing to 20-30 mph with gusts to 45.

Windy with a 100% chance of overnight rain and a slight chance of thunderstorms. Low in the mid 40s. E winds 20-30 mph with gusts to 45 becoming S 15-25 with gusts to 35.

A good chance for some rain and perhaps some thunderstorms today and tonight but a much better chance tomorrow. In fact, it would be wise to keep an eye on things tomorrow as we could be in for some severe weather, maybe even conceivably a tornado in the works. In other words, don’t plan on much of anything tomorrow except for staying safe from the weather. Temperature tomorrow will likely hit 70 degrees with an abrupt drop for the next day. We are all aware that means harsh weather will in all probability be included. Just be careful and watchful.

90% chance of overnight rain. Low in the upper 30s. E winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 25.

Seems as if rain will be moving in later today and linger on through Wednesday. Wednesday could present us with a temperature near 70 degrees. And with some possibly severe thunderstorms to go with it.  Just keep an eye on the weather and be ready for whatever we get. At least we should be rain-free this morning.

Sunday, April 2, 2023-SW Michigan-Sun Today, Days Of Rain Coming

Sunday, April 2, 2023-SW Michigan-Sun Today, Days Of Rain Coming

Currently 27 with an average wind from the ESE of 2 mph. feels like 19 degrees. Dew Point 26, Barometer 30.01, Humidity 93%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:23 am, Sunset 8:09 pm.

Partly cloudy with a 20% chance of evening rain. Low in the upper 30s. S winds 15-25 mph becoming SW 10-20 with gusts to 40.

Looking at a couple of 50 degree days leading up to one well in the 60s – which will, of course, set off storms that will promptly drop us right back down the day after that. An active week coming our way. Gradually, the temperatures will rise. This being Michigan that will include some definite ups and downs, but in time we’ll be warming up. And about time, too. In the meantime, don’t be too hasty to put away that heated bird bath just yet.

Saturday, April 1, 2023-SW Michigan-Starting Out On The Cool Side

Saturday, April 1, 2023-SW Michigan-Starting Out On The Cool Side

Currently 41 with an average wind from the SW of 4 mph. Feels like 32, Dew Point 37, Barometer 29.26, Humidity 95, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:24 am, Sunset 8:08 pm.

Partly cloudy overnight with a low in the lower 20s. NW winds 5-15 mph with gusts to 25 becoming NE.

Not a splendid start to the month of April. I reckon it can only go up from here. Next week looks like plenty of ups and downs temperature-wise. From the 50s down to the 30s. Sun, rain, a mix of everything. In fact, sound exactly like what we’ve been experiencing. So – looks like we might have to wait for a while to see any great welcome improvement. But it will come around, eventually.
