Sunday, Aug 11, 2024-SW Michigan-Another Chilly Morning

Sunday, Aug 11, 2024-SW Michigan-Another Chilly Morning

Currently 64 degrees with an average wind from the WSW of 6 mph. Feels like 64. Dew Point 55, Humidity 84%, Barometer 30.06, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:44 am, Sunset 8:49 pm.

Mostly sunny with a high in the mid 70s. W winds 5-15 mph with gusts to around 25.

Mostly clear with an overnight low in the mid 50s. Light winds with gusts up to 20 in the evening.

Downright nippy again this morning. And have you noticed how short our days are getting already? I have. Not liking the direction we’re heading in to. I don’t see a lot of warm up in our near future. A couple of days into the 80s but mostly 70s coming our way. This doesn’t feel like August. Certainly more like September weather. Makes you wonder what’s in store for us this winter. I’ve heard cold and snowy but I’d rather ignore that for the time being. And wish for warmer days to show up again. Summer seems short enough as it is. This time around it appears to being abbreviated even more.

Saturday, Aug. 10, 2024-SW Michigan-Too Chilly For August

Saturday, Aug. 10, 2024-SW Michigan-Too Chilly For August

Currently 64 with an average wind from the W of 13 mph. Feels like 64 degrees. Dew Point 52, Humidity 65%, Barometer 30.03, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:43 am, Sunset 8:50 pm.

Sunny until midday becoming partly sunny. High around 70. W winds 10-20 mph to around 30 mph.

Partly cloudy. Low in the mid 50s. W winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 20 in the evening.

This definitely does not feel like August. And personally, I’m tired of it. Not going to warm up any great amount in the coming week. Might see a low 80 or two but mostly 70s continue. As of right now, next weekend is looking like a rainy one, so chilly or not, best get out and enjoy this one. At least it’s dry.

Friday, Aug. 9, 2024-SW Michigan-Pleasant Weather Continues

Friday, Aug. 9, 2024-SW Michigan-Pleasant Weather Continues

Currently 68 with an 8 mph wind from the NW. Feels like 70 degrees. Dew Point 54, Humidity 61%, Barometer 29.93, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:42 am, Sunset 8:52 pm.

Mostly sunny today with a high in the lower 70s. NW winds 5-15 mph with gusts to around 25.

Partly cloudy with a 20% chance of overnight rain showers. Low in the mid 50s. W winds around 10 mph with gusts to 25.

This is great summer weather. Not too hot, not rainy, not windy…this seems about ideal. I guess we need to be enjoying it. I’ve just read a long-range forecast for our area that indicates cooler and wetter than usual. In other words, looking for now as if we’re going to have  a cold, snowy winter. Most definitely not my idea of good weather. Since I don’t seem to have much of a say in how it goes, the only thing I can suggest is to enjoy the now and prepare for then.

Thursday, Aug. 8 2024-SW Michigan-Mostly Sunny Days For Us

Thursday, Aug. 8 2024-SW Michigan-Mostly Sunny Days For Us

Currently 70 with a calm wind from the N. Feels like 70 degrees. Dew Point 61, Humidity 78%, Barometer 29.94, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:41 am, Sunset 8:53 pm.

Mostly sunny with a high around 80. Light winds becoming W 5-10 in the evening.

Partly cloudy. Low in the upper 50s. NW winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 20 in the evening.

Nothing drastic or harsh in our forecasts. Mostly sunny skies with temperatures slowly getting back up into the lower 80s over the next week. Bland and boring. Or luckily calm. Any way you look at it, it’s better than the flooding mess left to the south and east from Hurricane/Tropical Storm Debby.

Wednesday, Aug. 7, 2024-SW Michigan-Calm, Quiet Week

Wednesday, Aug. 7, 2024-SW Michigan-Calm, Quiet Week

Currently 66 with an average wind from the ENE of 12 mph. Feels like 66 degrees. Dew Point 58, Humidity 73%, Barometer 30.06, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:40 am, Sunset 8:55 pm.

Sunny with a high in the upper 70s. E winds 5-10 mph with gusts to around 20.

Mostly clear with a low in the mid 50s. E winds 5-10 mph.

Nothing going on with our weather at all this week. Nothing extreme in the temperature area, no precipitation to expect. Vary quiet all the way around. A little on the cooler side that some would like for this time of the summer, but I suspect it will manage to warm up again sooner or later. In the meantime, this would be a good week to take advantage of any outdoor activities.

Mostly clear overnight with patchy fog likely. Low in the mid 50s. NE winds 5-15 mph with gusts to 25 in the evening.

Feels like September out there to me. Likely not the only one – I haven’t seen the Hummingbird feed this heavy since before he left last year for the winter. It can warm up any time now and be fine. Looking at a dry week coming up once this system moves on with temperatures in the 70s for the most part. Not sure where that super hot summer predicted for us is hiding, but I’m not seeing it from here.
