Tuesday, March 19, 2024-SW Michigan-Don’t Look For Weather Improvement

Tuesday, March 19, 2024-SW Michigan-Don’t Look For Weather Improvement

Currently 34 with a SSW wind of 11 mph. Feels like 23 degrees. Dew Point 24, Barometer 29.64, Humidity 72%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:45 am, Sunset 7:54 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a chance of snow flurries. High in the mid 40s. W winds 15-20 mph with gusts to 35.

Partly cloudy. Low in the mid 20s. NW winds 5-15 mph with gusts to 25.

No matter how hard I look or hope, I don’t see any improvement in this weather mess until after Easter. Seriously. This is about as good as it’s going to get. Chilly with occasional snow showers, frozen mix, etc. March is going to continue and depart on a forlorn note. Wish I had better weather news to pass on. Eventually. But not just now.

Monday, March 18, 2024-SW Michigan-No Spring Weather For Us

Monday, March 18, 2024-SW Michigan-No Spring Weather For Us

Currently 36 with a 15 mph wind from the WNW. Feels like 28 degrees. Dew Point 15, Barometer 29.96, Humidity48%, Visibility 1 mi., Sunrise 7:37 am, Sunset 7:42 pm.

70% chance of snow showers. High in the upper 30s. NW winds 10-15 mph.

60% chance of evening snow showers. Partly cloudy becoming mostly clear overnight. Low in the mid 20s. W winds 10-15 mph.

There is no sense pretending that this spring is going to go down in our books as a good one. It’s more or less going to be written up as a pretend month of February. We had our spring in February this year – more or less – and now we’re paying for it. We had that strange month of February pretending to be March. Now it’s a flip flop. And will continue to do so for a while. Not seeing any warmth or charm in our forecast for the foreseeable future. Wearing winter clothes is getting a tad tiresome. Alas…

Sunday, March 17, 2024-SW Michigan-Chilly Month Of March Continues

Sunday, March 17, 2024-SW Michigan-Chilly Month Of March Continues

Currently 46 with a 13 mph wind from the W. Feels like 39 degrees. Dew Point 27, Barometer 29.8, Humidity 50%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:39 am, Sunset 7:41 pm.

Partly sunny becoming partly cloudy. High in the upper40s. W winds 15-20 mph with gusts to 30.

Partly cloudy in the evening then clearing. Low in the upper 20s. NW winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 30 in the evening

Looking ahead I see nothing warming up or becoming spring-like in this month of March. Be prepared to be chilly and watch for rain/frozen mix/snow to be scattered there and there. We have to pin our hopes on April because the month of March has let us down this year. Not liking this. Not one bit.

Saturday, March 16, 2024-SW Michigan-March Not Being Nice This Year

Saturday, March 16, 2024-SW Michigan-March Not Being Nice This Year

Currently 41 with a 4 mph wind from the SSE. Feels like 34 degrees. Dew Point 38, Barometer 29.76, Humidity 96%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:51 am, Sunset 7:50 pm.

Partly cloudy with a 40% chance of rain showers. High in the lower 50s. W winds 15-25 mph with gusts to 35.

Partly cloudy with a 20% chance of rain showers then mostly cloudy with a slight chance of snow showers. Low in the lower 30s. W winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 30.

Don’t bother to be looking for pleasant weather for a while. Not this weekend and most certainly not this coming week. Sooner or later things will change and nice weather will return, but it doesn’t seem to be in any big hurry to do that. Temperatures in the 30s? This isn’t the March that I think of as nice. Not this year. Alas…my hopes are now pinned on April.

Friday, March 15, 2024-SW Michigan-Clouds And Cool Temperatures Coming

Friday, March 15, 2024-SW Michigan-Clouds And Cool Temperatures Coming

Currently 37 with a 1 mph wind from from the ESE. Feels like 30 degrees. Dew Point 35, Barometer 30.12, Humidity 98%, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 7:52 am, Sunset 7:45 pm.

Mostly sunny with a high in the lower 50s. N winds 5-10 mph becoming NW in the afternoon.

Clear in the evening becoming partly cloudy. Low in the lower 30s. W winds 5-10 mph becoming SW 5-10 mph over night.

We need to enjoy the sunshine today and the rather mild temperatures. Seems as if both are on the way out. This weekend sounds like it will be chilly and cloudy. Not much improvement coming this next week. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that things change for the better before too long. Just know it won’t be right quick to happen.

Thursday, March 14, 2024-SW Michigan-Look For Rain

Thursday, March 14, 2024-SW Michigan-Look For Rain

Currently 50 with an 8 mph wind from the ENE. Feels like 50 degrees. Dew Point 33, Barometer 29.93, Humidity 56%, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 7:54 am, Sunset 7:48 pm.

90% chance of rain with a slight chance of thunderstorms. High in the lower 50s. E winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 30.

60% chance of rain showers. Low in the upper 30s. NE winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 30 in the evening.

Should be getting rain today and tonight. Again on Saturday. As of now, Sunday and Monday are looking cold again with temperatures in the 30s. No joy in the coming week either as it looks as if the numbers won’t climb up out of the 40s for the duration. Not a pleasant patch her in the month of March.

Wednesday, March 13, 2024-SW Michigan-Enjoy Today’s Weather Before It’s Gone Again

Wednesday, March 13, 2024-SW Michigan-Enjoy Today’s Weather Before It’s Gone Again

Currently 52 with a 5 mph from the ENE. Feels like 52 degrees. Dew Point 34, Barometer 29.89, Humidity 45%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:56am, Sunset 7:47 pm.

Sunny today with a high in the upper 60s. Light winds.

Mostly cloudy tonight with a 50% chance of rain. Low in the mid 40s. E winds 5-15 mph.

Today will be a winner, but after that, not so much. Rain tomorrow, probably on Saturday. Sunday will be a real loser. Cold and the rain that day could turn out to be snow. Just an ugly thought for mid March. Hate to be a downer, but there really isn’t anything much positive to look forward to next week. It will remain on the chilly side, seeing a lot of 30 degrees, 40 degrees. All we can do is hope it improves after that. I know we’ll all be more than ready for that to happen.

Tuesday, March 12, 2024-SW Michigan-Pleasant Days For A While

Tuesday, March 12, 2024-SW Michigan-Pleasant Days For A While

Currently 52 with a 4 mph wind from the SW. Feels like 52 degrees. Dew Point 40, Barometer 29.84, Humidity 75%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:58 am, Sunset 7:45 pm.

Mostly sunny with a high in the lower 60s. SW winds 10-20 mph with gusts to 30.

Partly cloudy. Low around 40. W winds around 10 mph.

Today and tomorrow will remain nice with above average temperatures, but then look for rain on Thursday and Friday. Sunday isn’t looking wonderful for now. Cold comes in again through Monday then a small uptick in numbers again. Strange how our roller coaster numbers just keep on keeping on. Probably all the way through March the way it’s looking. In the meantime, relish today and tomorrow. When these pleasant, sunny days roll around, we need to be out and about and enjoying them as much as possible.

Monday, March 11, 2024-SW Michigan-Several Decent Days Then Cold Again

Monday, March 11, 2024-SW Michigan-Several Decent Days Then Cold Again

Currently 36 with a 4 mph wind from the SW. Feels like 28 degrees. Dew Point 34, Barometer 30.09, Humidity 86%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:59 am, Sunset 7:44 pm.

Sunny. High in the mid 50s. SW winds 5-15 mph becoming 15-20 with gusts to 30.

Partly cloudy. Low around 40. SW winds 5-15 mph.

Today through Wednesday should be comfortable but that’s going to be the end of it for some time. March is refusing to relinquish connections to winter weather. So instead of March Could Be Nice this year, it’s going to be March Could Be Bullheaded and Stubborn.  Don’t be looking for particularly pleasant weather for the next week. In fact, somewhere along the way next week don’t be shocked to see the miserable frozen mix stuff show up. Alas…looks like we’re going to have to be waiting a while longer for spring to truly put in an appearance.

Sunday, March 10, 2024-SW Michigan-Lousy Time Change And Snow-Not Good

Sunday, March 10, 2024-SW Michigan-Lousy Time Change And Snow-Not Good

Currently 30 with a 17 mph wind from the NW. Feels like 18 degrees. Dew Point 21, Barometer 29.93, Humidity 68%, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 8:01 am, sunset 7:43 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a 20% chance of morning snow showers becoming mostly sunny. High in the upper 30s. NW winds 15-20 mph with gusts to 35.

Clear. Low in the mid 20s. W winds 5-15 mph with gusts to 25 in the evening.

Nothing much good to be said about this morning. The hateful time change has left us  in the dark again while we struggle to get up – and Mother Nature decided to add to the woe by giving us some snow. Looks like several days of sunshine ahead of us until – guess what – the end of next week, the weekend, and it all comes tumbling down again. Alas…
