Sunday, May 21, 2023-SW Michigan-Beginning Of A Sunny Week

Currently 70 with an average wind from the S of 2 mph. Feels like 70 degrees. Dew Point is 47, Barometer 30.03, Humidity 39%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:13 am, Sunset 9:04 pm

Sunny. High in the lower 70s. W winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 20 in the afternoon.

Mostly clear with a low in the upper 40s. W winds 5-10 mph with gusts to around 20 becoming NE overnight.

A lovely Sunday. Comfortable temperatures with plentiful sunshine. The entire coming week should be a winner. Looks like one of those days might dip down into the 60s, but all in all, a terrific week on the way. A dandy week to be out and about enjoying the wonders of nature, the many shades of green gracing our landscape, and sunshine galore. Can’t ask for much more than that, can we?

Saturday, May 20, 2023-SW Michigan-Missed The Chance For Rain Here

Saturday, May 20, 2023-SW Michigan-Missed The Chance For Rain Here

Currently 48 with an average wind from the W of 6 mph. Feels like 43 degrees. Dew Point 47, Barometer 29.58, Humidity 87%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:14 am, Sunset 9:03 pm.

Clear overnight with a low in the mid 40s. W winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 20 in the evening.

Needed the rain, didn’t get any at all here in my little backyard. Doesn’t look to be any opportunity for any at all in the coming week. Looks to be plenty of sunshine with temperatures in the 70s. Could even see an 80 or two. A nice, comfortable week, but we really did need some rain. Still cool today but I don’t see any more 60 degrees showing up for a while. Sounds like a good week to be out and about.

Friday, May 19, 2023-SW Michigan-Rain Today, Week of Warmth On The Way

Friday, May 19, 2023-SW Michigan-Rain Today, Week of Warmth On The Way

Currently 61 with an average wind from the S of 2 mph. Feels like 61 degrees. Dew Point 46, Barometer 29.83, Humidity 53%, Visibility 8 mi., Sunrise 6:15 am, Sunset 9:02 pm.

Cool today and probably a good chance of some rain, but the week coming at us could be fantastic. Saturday will still be hovering in the cool range but after that, as of now, it warms up nicely. Appears to be more sun than clouds and temperatures in the 70s with possibly a few 80s for the remaining days. Sounds like a week to savor.

Thursday, May 18-SW Michigan-Dry Today, Rain Tomorrow

Thursday, May 18-SW Michigan-Dry Today, Rain Tomorrow

Currently 54 with an average wind from the ESE of 3 mph. Feels like 54 degrees. Dew Point 36, Barometer 30.40, Humidity 52%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:16 am, Sunset 9:01 pm.

Partly cloudy with a 20% chance of overnight rain. Low in the lower 50s. S winds 5-15 mph with gusts to 25.

Today should be a dandy but look for rain tomorrow. The weekend and the entire following week look to be clear, dry and mostly sunny. Difficult to ensure accuracy, but looking long range, the week after that appears to be a rainy one as of now. We all know how quickly things can change, so no telling by the time we get that far out what we’ll actually find. For now, enjoy today. Nice temperatures with sunshine. A lovely day.

 

Wednesday, May 17, 2023-SW Michigan-Chilly Weather Is Ours Again

Wednesday, May 17, 2023-SW Michigan-Chilly Weather Is Ours Again

Currently 52 with an average wind from the E of 3 mph. Feels like 52 degrees. Dew Point 38, Barometer 29.95, Humidity 64%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:17 am, Sunset 9:00 pm.

Sunny. High in the lower 60s. E winds 5-10 mph.

Partly cloudy with a low in the upper 30s. SE winds 5-10 mph.

So- we have a backdoor cold front? Doesn’t matter to me which door it enters from or exits through, I’m tired of cold weather. Granted this won’t last long, but for the next several days, it does look as if our high temperatures will only be in the 60s. The sooner this departs and warmer temperatures return the better. Everyone is busy either planting or planning on planting and nobody wants to think about frost at this point. Next week will be ever so much warmer and better. In the meantime, just keep those jackets handy for a few days and perhaps your umbrella for Friday.

Tuesday, May 16, 2023-SW Michigan-Several Days Of Sunshine For Us

Tuesday, May 16, 2023-SW Michigan-Several Days Of Sunshine For Us

Currently 61 with an average wind from the SW of 3 mph. Feels like 61 degrees. Dew Point 42, Barometer 29.78, Humidity 52%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:18 am, Sunset 8:59 pm.

Partly sunny until midday then becoming clear for the afternoon. High in the mid 70s. W winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 25.

Mostly clear overnight with a low in the lower 40s. NE winds 5-15 mph.

There is a Red Flag Warning out for fire danger today.  Gusty winds and low humidity are combining to make it unwise to be doing any outside burning today.

We’re looking at pleasant weather until Friday which still shows a chance for rain. Maybe some rain for Saturday, but that one’s not for sure. Sunday still looking good. And by the end of next week, we’ll be looking at temperatures in the 80s. Personally, I’m pretty excited about that. Could stay 80s forever and I’d be happy.

Monday, May 15, 2023-SW Michigan-Sunny But Not Too Warm

Monday, May 15, 2023-SW Michigan-Sunny But Not Too Warm

Currently 52 with an average wind from the ENE of 3 mph. Feels like 52 degrees. Dew Point 31, Barometer 30.28, Humidity 41%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:19 am, Sunset 8:56 pm.

Sunny. High in the lower 70s. Light winds becoming W 5-10 mph in the afternoon.

Partly cloudy with a low in the mid 40s. W winds 5-10 mph.

Looking like a fairly decent week with plenty of sunshine, temperatures mostly in the lower 70s. Perhaps some rain showing up on Friday, maybe Saturday. So far, Sunday is looking good.  Not much to complain about in any of that. Guess we’ll just have to go through day by day and see how close it comes.

Sunday, May 14, 2023-SW Michigan- Partly Cloudy For Mom’s Day

Sunday, May 14, 2023-SW Michigan- Partly Cloudy For Mom’s Day

Currently 57 with an average wind from the NE of 9 mph. Feels like 57 degrees. Dew Point 36, Barometer 30.19, Humidity 45%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:20 am, Sunset 8:57 pm.

Partly sunny until about midday becoming mostly cloudy in the afternoon. High in the mid 60s. E winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 25.

Partly cloudy with a chance for patchy overnight frost. Low in the upper 30s. E winds 5-10 mph.

Well, it could be warmer, but it isn’t all bad. At least it isn’t raining.  And we do have some morning sunshine. Maybe more clouds later on, but still no rain in the picture. Look for nice weather the next several days before a small chance of rain moves in for a couple of days. Temperatures mostly in the 70s but an occasional dip into the 60s. Not a bad looking forecast ahead of us.

For all the moms out there, Happy Mother’s Day. Hope your day is made lovely for you no matter what the weather.

Saturday, may 13, 2023-SW Michigan-Might Or Might Not Get A Bit Of Rain Today

Saturday, may 13, 2023-SW Michigan-Might Or Might Not Get A Bit Of Rain Today

Currently 64 with an average wind from the E of 3 mph. Feels like 64 degrees. Dew Point 54, Barometer 30.07, Humidity 71%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:21 am, Sunset 8;56 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a 20% chance for morning rain. High in the mid 70s. E winds 5-15 mph.

Partly cloudy in the evening becoming mostly cloudy overnight. Low in the lower 50s. E winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 25.

Look like rain but so far I haven’t had any in my little backyard. Once this chance goes on by, it appears the opportunity for rain has been eliminated for some time in the future. Actually, not again until the end of next week and there, as of now, isn’t a big chance for it then, either. It’s no longer in the picture for Sunday. Cloudy and a bit cooler yes but supposed to be dry.

Friday, May 12, 2023-SW Michigan-Might Get Rain Today

Friday, May 12, 2023-SW Michigan-Might Get Rain Today

Currently 63 with an average wind from the ENE of 4 mph. Feels like 63 degrees. Dew Point 49, Barometer 30, Humidity 49%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:22 am, Sunset 8:55 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a 50% chance of afternoon rain. High in the upper 70s. E winds 5-10 mph.

Mostly cloudy with a 40% chance of overnight rain. Low in the upper 50s. E winds 5-10 mph.

Very likely to get rain today and tomorrow has become a toss-up. One day we’re going to get Saturday rain, the next day, nope, no Saturday rain. So at this point I’d say keep your umbrella handy and go on with what every you planned to do. It’s been fairly steady, the forecast for rain on Sunday, but now the percentage of that opportunity is pretty low. Again…maybe, maybe not. But one thing for sure, it will be cooler on Sunday than say yesterday by nearly 20 degrees. Yesterday was a total delight with temperatures over 80 degrees. Don’t be looking for that again for a while, but it was wonderful while it lasted. Today will still be comfortable, just perhaps a little on the damp side later on.
