Thursday, Nov. 30, 2023-SW Michigan-Nice Today Not So Much Tonight

Thursday, Nov. 30, 2023-SW Michigan-Nice Today Not So Much Tonight

Currently 32 with a 5 mph wind from the SSW. Feels like 23 degrees. Dew Point 31, Barometer 29.61, Humidity 74%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:52 am, Sunset 5:08 pm.

Mostly sunny morning becoming a partly sunny afternoon. High in the upper 40s. SW winds 10-20 mph with gusts to 35.

60% chance of evening rain becoming light freezing rain possibly mixed with rain/snow. Low around 30. NW winds 10 mph with gusts to 20 becoming NE overnight.

Well, we have a pleasant day to enjoy right not but not so much tomorrow. Tomorrow seems to promise more snow than rain. We are now entering the ‘what-on-earth-will-we-get-next’ area. Some days are predicting rain, some snow, some a mix. One good thing for the coming week is that as of now the daytime temperatures seem high enough to keep us from accumulating much of whatever we get. That’s a plus. Guess it pays to pay attention day to day and act accordingly.

Wednesday, Nov. 29, 2023-SW Michigan-Got Some Rainy Days On The Way

Wednesday, Nov. 29, 2023-SW Michigan-Got Some Rainy Days On The Way

Currently 28 with an average wind of 2 mph from the SW. Dew Point 21, Barometer 29.68, Humidity 78%, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 7:51 am, Sunset 5:09 pm

Cloudy with a high in the mid 30s. SW winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 25.

Partly cloudy in the evening becoming mostly cloudy. Low in the upper 20s. SW winds 5-15 mph.

Looks like from about Friday through until next Tuesday or so, we have rain coming. The trouble that might arise from this is the nighttime temperatures may fall into the zone where that rain on the roads and sidewalks could freeze. That could present some dangerous situations. Let’s hope the temperatures fail to cause problems like that and we just have rain to cope with.

Tuesday, Nov. 28, 2023-SW Michigan-Enjoying Some Morning Sunshine

Currently 25 with an average wind from the WNW of 4 mph. Feels like 14 degrees. Dew Point 17, Barometer 30, Humidity 74%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:50 am, Sunset 5:09 pm

Partly sunny in the morning with a 40% chance of snow showers. High in the upper 20s. W winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 25.

Mostly cloudy with a 20% chance of overnight snow showers. Low in the lower 20s. SW winds 5-15 mph with gusts to 30 mph.

Lots of welcome sunshine showing up this morning and I’m so pleased to see it. Personally, I actually feel like a human being with the sun shines. Anyway, look for possible show showers later on and overnight. Then about this weekend, look for rain/snow…in other words, that miserable wintry mix could show up. Let’s hope not, but the possibility is out there.

Monday, Nov. 27, 2023-SW Michigan-Some Snow But Didn’t Get Dumped On

Monday, Nov. 27, 2023-SW Michigan-Some Snow But Didn’t Get Dumped On

Currently 28 with an average wind for 6 mph from the WNW. Feels like 18 degrees. Dew Point 19, Barometer 29.74, Humidity 77%, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 7:49 am, Sunset 5:10 pm.

70% snow showers. High in the upper 20s. W winds 10-20 mph with gusts to 30.

80% snow showers. 1-2″ possible. Low 15-20. NW winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 30.

Winter Storm Cait didn’t treat us all that badly. We failed to get much snow here in my area although other spots in Michigan found themselves with much more precipitation. Still expecting a bit of snow today and tonight, but no big amounts called for. Later in the week we’ll see rain – hopefully not that miserable wintry mix that turns things slick and dangerous. It is definitely winter here now.

Sunday, Nov. 26, 2023-SW Michigan-Winter Storm Cait Due Today

Sunday, Nov. 26, 2023-SW Michigan-Winter Storm Cait Due Today

Currently 28 with an average wind of 3 mph from the SE. Feels like 23 degrees. Dew Point 25, Barometer 29.73, Humidity 85%, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 7:48 am, Sunset 5:10 pm.

100% chance of snow today. 1-4″ possible. High in the mid 30s. S winds 5-10 mph becoming SW in the afternoon.

90% chance of overnight snow. Patchy blowing snow. 1-2″ possible. Low in the upper 20s. W winds 10-20 mph with gusts to 30.

A blah colorless sky out there this morning, just waiting to be filled in with Winter Storm Cait and her snow. It’s a rather fast moving storm so in a day or so it should be long gone. Not so the winter weather, however. Looking into our future I’m seeing a lot of the snow/rain mix stuff, which is the worst. We’d much rather have all rain or all snow, but when Mother Nature mahes it together, we usually end up with the frozen rain/ice nonsense that is the worst. I guess we’ll have to wait and see how we do through that mess. Hopefully, we’ll all slow down driving and come through it safe and sound. That’s the plan, anyhow.

There does seem to be a slight chance of seeing some snow showers later today but mostly we are looking for overnight and tomorrow for snow. Some sites toss Monday in the mix, that will remain to be seen. For sure tomorrow. 1-3″ of snow from Winter Storm Cait.

Friday, Nov. 24, 2023-SW Michigan-Chilly But Dry Until Sunday

Currently 27 with an average wind from the SW of 6 mph. Feels like 18 degrees. Dew Point 16, Barometer 30.3, Humidity 58%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:45 am, Sunset 5:11 pm

Mostly sunny today with a temperature in the lower 30s. N winds 5-15 mph.

Partly cloudy tonight. Low in the lower 20s. Light winds.

No question about it, it’s cold out there, but at least it’s dry. Don’t count on that part on Sunday. Looks like we might get 1-3″ of snow. Maybe some on Monday, too. Not sure about that one, but fairly certain of Sunday. I guess it’s that time of year, like it or not. And some of us don’t. Count me in that club. Alas. Nothing to do but haul out the boots and get ready for it.

Today is bright and sunny and an excellent day for a Thanksgiving, We don’t often get a lovely day with this for a November holiday in Michigan. Grateful for this one. Grateful for many things, as a matter of fact, as I hope you are too.

Looks like Winter Storm Cait will be visiting us on Sunday with some snow. Could get 1-3″. Might linger into Monday, I guess we’ll have to wait and see on that part. In the meantime, enjoy today in all it’s joy.

Going to be good Thanksgiving Day for travel for those moving about. No precipitation in the forecast until Sunday, at which time we could be seeing some snow. The whole following week looks dry but quite chilly. As of now. We know how things can change, but that’s the picture we’re seeing at present.

Don’t be looking for any sunshine today cause it won’t happen. Clouds and rain seem to be the picture for us today. No rain over the Thanksgiving holiday though. Should be clear and comfortable. You might want to look for snow showers about next Sunday, maybe Monday. But as of now, nothing else like that in store for us during the following week.
