Friday, March 8, 2024-SW Michigan-Heading Into Lousy Weekend Weather

Currently 45 with an average wind from the ENE of 5 mph. Feels like 39 degrees. Dew Point 40, Barometer 30.04, Humidity 100%, Visibility 7 mi., Sunrise 7:05 am, Sunset 6:41 pm.

100% chance of rain. High in the upper 40s. E winds 5-15 mph.

100% chance of overnight rain. Low in the upper 30s. NE winds 5-10 mph becoming N 5-15 mph.

Today will be chilly and likely rainy. Saturday could bring us a chance of rain, frozen mix overnight, which is an atrocious thought. Sunday will be cold and windy, also not much of a happy thought. So far, I’d say March is not playing nice. Just be prepared for an indoor weather weekend.

Thursday, March 7, 2024-SW Michigan-Colorless Morning Sky

Currently 41 with a 7 mph wind from the E. Feels like 34 degrees. Dew Point 30, Barometer 30.17, Humidity 78%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:06 am, Sunset 6:39 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a high in the lower 50s. E winds 5-15 mph.

Partly cloudy in the evening becoming mostly cloudy overnight. Low in the mid 30s. E winds 5-10 mph.

An east wind is hardly ever a good thing. And as is usual, this one is bringing in rain and cold temperatures. Better next week but not by a whole heck of a lot. Our roller coaster numbers seems to be stuck on the down side for a while. Not happy about that because March should be nicer than that. Hopefully it will be – eventually. In the meantime, prepare for a wet, chilly Friday and Saturday. A windy, cold Sunday.

Wednesday, March 6, 2024-SW Michigan-Not Bad Heading To Cold Weekend

Currently 43 with a 7 mph wind from the ENE. Feels like 37 degrees. Dew Point 32, Barometer 30.13, Humidity 79%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:08 am, Sunset 6:38 pm.

Partly cloudy until midday then clearing. High in the lower 50s. NE winds 10-20 mph with gusts to around 30.

Mostly clear with an overnight low in the lower 30s. NE winds 10-15 mph with gusts to around 25.

Not a bad day today and it isn’t going to be an overly warm week. However, this weekend is going to be just plain cold. The rain is very possibly going to end up being snow showers. Nothing we want to see in March but alas…I think that’s exactly what we’re going to get. Don’t put away those warm clothes just yet.

Tuesday, March 5, 2024-SW Michigan-Gloomy Tuesday For Us

Tuesday, March 5, 2024-SW Michigan-Gloomy Tuesday For Us

Currently 46 with an average wind from the ENE of 7 mph. Feels like 41 degrees. Dew Point 40, Barometer 29.98, Humidity 100%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:10 am, Sunset 6:37 pm.

90% chance of showers with a chance of thunderstorms. High in the lower 50s. NE winds 10-20 mph with gusts to around 25.

Partly cloudy with a low in the lower 30s. NE winds 5-10 mp with gusts to 20.

A rather dreary day with rain very likely. A very light rain falling this morning when I went out to feed the critters. Not a particularly chilly day but by this weekend, that will unfortunately change. Sunday will be downright nippy. Never fear, the numbers will start to rise by Monday and will promptly bounce back up into the 50s before you know it. It’s just our roller coaster temperatures refusing to depart for now. Eventually, though, with fingers crossed we’ll be back into comfortable and stay there.

Partly cloudy with a 100% chance of overnight rain and thunderstorms.  Low in the mid 40s. S winds 10-15 mph with gusts to around 25.

Should be a dandy day today but is determined to usher in rain. Tomorrow won’t be a nice and unfortunately, by this weekend but could not only see 40 degrees, but don’t be shocked to see upper 30s. Doesn’t sound like a lovely weekend, the next one coming up. Should get better after that. Fingers crossed.

Currently 48 with a 4 mph wind from the SW. Feels like 45 degrees. Dew Point 36, Barometer 30.11, Humidity 75%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:15 am, Sunset 6:53 pm.

Mostly sunny with a high in the lower 50s. SW winds 5-10 mph.

Clear with an overnight low in the upper 30s. SE winds 5-15 mph.

Not overly warm, but the sunshine looks and feels fine. Tomorrow should be even better. Look for some rain the beginning of the week, and don’t be shocked by some 40 degree days by the end of the week. Two or three days of them, but they will go away again. March is looking fairly decent so far.

Currently 36 with a 4 mph wind from the SSW. Feels like 28 degrees. Dew Point 20, Barometer 30.26, Humidity 54%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:17 am, Sunset 6:32 pm.

Sunny with a high in the upper 40s. SW winds 5-15 mph with gusts to 25.

Partly cloudy.  Low in the mid 30s. S 5-15 mph.

Look for some sun today and tomorrow, then some wind on Sunday which appears to be set on blowing in rain for us Monday and Tuesday. Not bad for the beginning of March. Our temperatures will rise for a while but don’t be surprised to see 40 degrees and chances for those dread frozen mix deals by the end of next week. Changeable weather for certain. Let’s just hope the elusive  usual February weather of this year  doesn’t  decide to put in an appearance. Fingers crossed.

Currently 23 with a 4 mph wind from the NW. Feels like 12 degrees. Dew Point 9, Barometer 30.41,  Humidity 56%, Visibility 8 mi., Sunrise 7:19 am, Sunset 6:32 pm.

Sunny. High in the mid 30s. Chance of snow flurries until midday. W winds 10-15 mph becoming SW 5-15 in the afternoon.

Mostly clear. Low in the upper 20s. SW winds 5-15 with gusts to 25.

What a difference a week makes, right?And it isn’t going to be heading back up into the ridiculous high temperatures we just experienced, but it will get warmer than today. Chilly yet today, no question about it. Looking like a lot of 50s and 40s next week. Not bad. Not 70 degrees by any means, but not bad.

At least this Leap Year February, giving us an extra day, isn’t quite as bad a deal as most years. Although what we’d really like is an extra day in June or July maybe, our February extra day is usually a disaster. At any rate, we’ll be into March by tomorrow and March Could Be Nice. Hoping this one coming up will be just that.

Wednesday, Feb. 28, 2024-SW Michigan-Windy With Possible Snow Showers

Wednesday, Feb. 28, 2024-SW Michigan-Windy With Possible Snow Showers

Currently 27 with an average wind from the NW of 11 mph. Feels like 12 degrees. Dew Point 20, Barometer 29.57, Humidity 80%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:21 am, Sunset 6:30 pm.

Windy. 70% chance of snow showers possibly mixed with freezing rain until midday. Snow showers in the afternoon. Snow accumulation 1″ or less. High in the lower 30s. NW winds 20-30 mph with gusts to 40.

Partly cloudy with a 20% chance of snow showers in the evening. Low 15-20. NW winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 30.

No big storms in my area last night. Except for a few rumbles of thunder around midnight, nothing. Evidently some rain, but nothing heavy. Very windy this morning and it sounds as if it’s going to continue all day long. No snow showing up here yet, but the possibility is definitely there. The sun will come back out starting tomorrow and the temperatures will begin to rise. This quick moving cold front is already moving on to the East. Just a little reminder that this is, after all, February. Been a different one this year, that’s for sure.
