Murphy's Weather

Currently 34 with a wind of 1 mph from the S. Feels like 30 degrees. Dew Point 33, Barometer 29.83, Humidity 100%, Visibility 8 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:16 pm.

Mostly cloudy today with a high around 40. NW winds 10 mph becoming SW in the afternoon.

Cloudy overnight with a 50% chance of rain and snow showers. Low in the lower 30s. S winds 5-10 mph.

Appears as if we will be getting snow tonight and tomorrow. No white Christmas, instead a white New Years. Not the safest thing to be getting. Usually too many people out driving on New Year’s Eve that shouldn’t be anyway, add in some slick roads and it’s not a good scene. Let’s hope either we don’t get the snow or people who shouldn’t be driving, don’t.  Might be getting a bit of snow around next Wednesday, too.

Currently 41 with a 2 mph wind from the ENE. Feels like 37 degrees. Dew Point 40, Barometer 29.79, Humidity 100%, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:16 pm.

Cloudy with a 50% chance of rain. High in the lower 40s. N winds 5-10 mph.

Partly cloudy with a low in the upper 20s. NW winds 5-10 mph in the evening becoming light.

Still looking for a chance of some snow on Sunday and perhaps again about midweek.  Wednesday could bring about that same chance.  Temperatures will continue to be in the 30s from now on. Could even dip into the upper 20s by week’s end. Our balmy weather has fled the scene.

Currently 41 with a 4 mph wind from the NE. Feels like 36 degrees. Dew Point 40, Barometer 29.78, Humidity 100%, Visibility 8 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:15 pm.

Patchy fog until midday. 70% chance of rain. High in the mid 40s. NE winds 5-15 mph.

80% chance of overnight rain. Low in the upper 30s. NE winds around 10 mph.

Ain’t no sunshine…no, wrong song, but same idea. Nothing but an overcast sky for us today with rain expected. Still looking at a pretty fair chance of some snow on Sunday, but so far, this is the only day we’re looking at with snow in it for the next week. Subject, of course, to change as is always the case with our weather.  Temperatures will continue to fall. Our unusual 50 degree days are a thing of the past for now. Unfortunate, but due to happen.

Currently 39 with an a 4 mph wind from the NE. Feels like 34 degrees. Dew Point 36, Barometer 30, Humidity 90%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:12 am, Sunset 5:14 pm.

Partly sunny with a high in the mid 40s. N winds 5-15 mph.

Cloudy with a 40% chance of overnight rain. Low in the upper 30s. N winds 5-10 mph.

Going to start getting a bit cooler every day. Soon we’ll be in the 30s. Quite a bit of difference from the past week. Could even be looking at a bit of snow on this coming Sunday.  Bound to happen, but it’s been so comfortable for this time of year.

Currently 52 with a 2 mph wind from the WNW. Feels like 52 degrees. Dew Point 46, Barometer 29.98, Humidity 97%, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 8:12 am, Sunset 5:13 pm.

Cloudy with a 40% chance of rain showers. High in the lower 50s. SW winds 10-15 mph becoming W 5-15 mph.

Mostly cloudy in the evening becoming partly cloudy. Low in the lower 30s. W winds around 5 mph.

Slightly foggy again this morning with puddles here and there left over from an overnight rain. Hard to believe 50 degree weather in Michigan at the end of December, but here we are. For a few days anyway, a good 20 of those degrees will be shaved off by the end of the week, which will put us back into a more normal range for our weather. The is a small possibility that a bit of rain at the end of the week could turn into a bit of snow, but that’s not for sure. In the meantime, feels and looks totally unlike December out there for now.

Currently 50 with a 6 mph wind from the SE. Feels like 50 degrees. Dew Point 47, Barometer 30.1, Humidity 97%, Visibility 7 mi., Sunrise 8:12 am, Sunset 5:13 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a 50% chance of afternoon rain showers. Patchy fog until midday. High in the mid 50s. SE winds 10-15 mph.

100% chance of overnight rain showers. Patch fog. Low in the upper 40s. SE winds 10-15 mph.

This is an unusual stretch of weather for Michigan Christmas. Our temperatures will remain in the 50 degree range for a few more days and then they will start to drop. By the end of the week we’ll be down in the 30 degree range. Personally, I’ve enjoyed this mild, snow-less Christmas but I realize not all folks have. Never fear. Snow will be on the way before we know it. Bound to happen sooner or later – later this year, but once in awhile that happens. Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas Day – even without the wished for snow.

Currently 48 with a 2 mph wind from the SE. Feels like 45 degrees. Dew Point 45, Barometer 30.25, Humidity 100%, Visibility 0.17 mi., Sunrise 8:11 am, Sunset 5:12 pm.

Cloudy with widespread fog. A slight chance of drizzle throughout the day. High in the lower 50s. SE winds 5-10 mph.

Mostly cloudy with widespread fog. Slight chance of overnight drizzle. Low in the mid 40s. SE winds 5-15 mph.

Another really foggy day. Out and about this morning and ran into some areas with light fog and on into another area with heavy, thick fog. Tricky driving this morning. I’m thinking we’re going to be getting more fog tonight and tomorrow so I imagine there will be tons of references to Rudolph’s Shiny Red Nose. Thank goodness Santa has the help to make it through. Anyway, no white Christmas for us this year, only a foggy one.  I realize most do appreciate a nice cold snow on Christmas. Not being one of them, I’m enjoying the mild temperatures. Last year was different, I’m sure next year will have it’s own flavor, but this one suits me fine.

Merry Christmas Eve Day to one and all.

Currently 45 with a calm wind from the SSW. Feels like 43 degrees. Dew Point 43, Barometer 30.14, Humidity 100%, Visibility 0.25 mi., Sunrise 8:11 am, Sunset 5:12 pm.

Dense Fog Alert until 7:00 pm.

Cloudy with a 30% chance of rain showers. Widespread dense fog through early afternoon. High in the upper 40s. Light winds.

Cloudy with areas of overnight fog. Low in the upper 30s. Light winds.

A day to be careful driving around. This fog is thick making visibility difficult. Look for a chance of some rain showers. Tomorrow looks to be dry – but I wouldn’t be ruling out fog again. Rain coming in this week and no snow mentioned until around the end of the week. Luck of the draw we could end up with New Year’s snow – just in time for people who shouldn’t be out driving to be driving on slick roads. I’m hoping that doesn’t end up being the case.

Currently 41 with a 3 mph wind from the S. Feels like 36 degrees. Dew Point 36, Barometer 30.14, Humidity 89%, Visibility 6 mi., Sunrise 8:10 am, Sunset 5:11 pm.

Cloudy with a 50% chance of rain showers. High in the lower 40s. SE 5-10 mph.

100% chance of overnight rain showers. Low in the upper 30s. SE winds 5-10 mph becoming light.

Plenty of clouds but no rain this morning. Appears as if that will definitely move in tonight, probably tomorrow and except for Sunday about every day next week. This leaves us a rainy Christmas Day. If you’re among the late Christmas shoppers best take an umbrella this year.

Currently 32 with a 4 mph wind from the ESE. Feels like 23 degrees. Dew Point 29, Barometer 30.41, Humidity 90%, Visibility 8 mi., Sunrise 8:10 am, Sunset 5:10 pm.

Cloudy. High in the upper 30s. E winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 20 until about midday.

Cloudy overnight with a 30% chance of rain showers. Low in the mid 30s. SE winds 5-10 mph.

From today on, it’s all good. At least for me. We may only gain a second or a minute at a time, but gradually our days will get longer, the nights shorter and we’ll end up with more sun than clouds. Eventually. But now we’re heading in the right direction.

Today will be dry, and maybe Sunday, but look for rain most every other day for the coming week. Christmas Day will be a rainy one for us. No snow this year, but who knows what next year will bring? May be a White Christmas then. And we all know we’ll be getting snow soon. We have January and February ahead of us and we can count on snow showing up during those months. Just not this Christmas. Be merry anyway. Just with an umbrella handy rather than a snow shovel.
