Friday, April 5, 2024-SW Michigan-Some Sunshine For A Change

Currently 39 with an average wind from the NE of 5 mph. Feels like 37 degrees. Dew Point 31, Barometer 30.02, Humidity 78%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise  7:16 am, Sunset 8:14 pm.

Mostly clear overnight with a low in the upper 20s. N winds 5-10 mph.

Look for some sunshine tomorrow and perhaps some on Sunday. Although Sunday does offer us the chance for some rain, too.  And Monday? The day we’re all hoping for cloudless skies and a clear views of the Eclipse? Not so sure about that. Looks like some clouds for us, but let’s hope not totally cloudy. Going to be about 300 years before we get another chance like this and I don’t know about you, but I’m fairly certain I won’t be able to hang around for it.

Currently 39 with an average wind of 2 mph from the WSW. Feels like 39 degrees. Dew Point 37, Barometer 29.47, Humidity 98%, Visibility 6 mi., Sunrise 7:18 am, Sunset 8:13 pm

Sounds like something to look forward to, doesn’t it? Maybe some sunshine peeking through this weekend and the possibility of some 60 degree days coming to us next week. We could see a few rainy days next week, too, but with warmer temperatures those days don’t sound so dreary. We are more than ready for some good news to be connected with our weather. Might be on the way.

Okay, so no joy from the sunshine today – or tomorrow. But wait a minute…looks as if we could be blessed with some brightness Friday through Sunday. Seriously. At least for the moment that is the view we’re looking at. Should be wonderful. No rain, no snow, some sunshine? Fingers crossed.

Okay, with computer issues resolved for now, I’m back to observing the weather. Trouble is, this current weather isn’t worth too much attention. Seems as if April is marching along at the same pace as March. Slow to recognize this is spring. We seem to be looking at cool temperatures and possibilities of rain now and again in the near future. I sure do wish there was something wonderful to report. Alas….Mother Nature is not playing nice.

Friday, March 29, 2024-SW Michigan-Sunshine Today But Not Tomorrow

Friday, March 29, 2024-SW Michigan-Sunshine Today But Not Tomorrow

Currently 32 with a 4 mph wind from the ESE. Feels like 27 degrees. Dew Point 28, Barometer 30.09, Humidity 75%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:28 am, Sunset 8:05 pm.

Sunny. High in the lower 50s. W winds around 10 mph.

Partly cloudy becoming cloudy with a 70% chance of rain with a possibility of thunderstorms. Low in the mid 30s. Light winds becoming E 5-15 mph.

A pleasant day today but I’d get everything done that needs to be done outdoors today because tomorrow will likely be a wet one. East Sunday? Not entirely sure. Some clouds for certain but at this point, unclear as to whether it will rain or not. Guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

Thursday, March 28, 2024-SW Michigan-Some Sun Today, Maybe Tomorrow

Thursday, March 28, 2024-SW Michigan-Some Sun Today, Maybe Tomorrow

Currently 37 with an average wind from the W of 7 mph. Feels like 28 degrees. Dew Point 21, Barometer 30.09, Humidity 62%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:29 am, Sunset 8:04 pm.

Sunny today with a high in the lower 40s. W winds 10-20 mph.

Mostly clear overnight with a low in the mid 20s. Light winds.

Whatever sunshine we get today or tomorrow look to be about all we’re going to be seeing for about ever. Not much more than clouds, occasional rain, coolish temperatures in our forecast. I wish like anything that wasn’t the case, but checking every weather site I have access to, this is about the picture they all paint. I think we’re going to have to wait a bit for warmth and clear skies to be part of our world.

Mostly cloudy with a high in the upper 30s. W winds 15-20 mph.

Partly cloudy. Low in the upper 20s. W winds 5-15 mph.

Not a particularly pleasant day today. Look for some sunshine Thursday and Friday, rain on Saturday and maybe just clouds on Easter Sunday. But no great rise in temperatures yet. Eventually, but no just now.

Tuesday, March 26, 2024-SW Michigan-Rain Possible Storms Today

Tuesday, March 26, 2024-SW Michigan-Rain Possible Storms Today

Currently 48 with an ESE wind of 12 mph. Feels like 43 degrees. Dew Point 46, Humidity 86%, Barometer 29.86, Visibility 7 mi., Sunrise 7:24am, Sunset 7:54pm.

80% chance of rain today. Possible risk of tornadoes and wind damage. The wind will probably be the greater threat. High around 60.  S winds 15-20 with gusts to 40.

Mostly cloudy overnight with a 50% chance of rain and thunderstorms. Low around 40. S winds 15-20 with gusts to 35 becoming W 5-10 with gusts to 25.

Might as well prepare for a chilly day tomorrow a this stormy system is set to bring us back down into the 30 degree range for a day or so. We’ll bounce back but it’s getting tiresome to say the least that we get a few fairly comfortable days only to have to pay for them with a dip into the heavier jacket weather. Sooner or later – we keep saying and hoping – this pattern is going to break and we’ll be in the warmer weather pattern where we should be. In the meantime, prepare for rain and wind today, cold tomorrow.

Monday, March 25, 2024-SW Michigan-Clouds Today Rain Tomorrow

Monday, March 25, 2024-SW Michigan-Clouds Today Rain Tomorrow

Currently 41 with an average wind of 5 mph from the SE. Feels like 34 degrees. Dew Point 27, Humidity 60%, Barometer 29.92, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:35 am, Sunset 8:01 pm.

100% chance of overnight rain showers. Low in the mid 40s. SE winds 15-25 mph with gusts to 35 increasing to 45.

Today should be dry, but not tonight and definitely not tomorrow. Might get a few thunderstorms tomorrow. Of course, this tumbles our Wednesday temperature back down into the 30 degree range.  40s and 50s the rest of the week though. Look for rain again on Saturday. Easter Sunday will be cool, but no rain predicted so far. We seem to be in this weather pattern that hasn’t much variance in it – well, except for that miserable snow storm last Friday – but the rest is a rinse and repeat pattern. Will be nice to see the end of it.  And since all things must end eventually, I’m thinking this might change for the better too. Some day.

Not a bad little morning. A bit chilly but with sunshine peeking through every so often, we’ll take it. Look for a couple of fairly warm days coming up, but with rain. That’s okay. Beats snow.
