Thursday, April 3, 2025-SW Michigan-Pleasant But Not Too Warm Yet

Currently 48 with an average wind from the SSW of 9 mph. Feels like 43 degrees. Dew Point 39, Barometer 29.84, Humidity 74%, Visibility 10 mi. Sunrise 7:21 am, Sunset 8:10 pm.

Mostly sunny morning becoming a partly sunny afternoon. high in the upper 40s. W winds 10-20 mph with gusts to 40.

Partly cloudy with a low in the mid 30s. NW winds around 10 mph in the evening becoming light.

Nice bright sunshine peeking around the clouds today but it’s not offering a whole lot of warmth. Look for a bit warmer tomorrow and maybe Saturday, but Saturday will also usher in some rain. That, of course, will bring us more cool temperatures ending up with yet another week beginning in the 30 degree range. Getting tiresome? Indeed it is.

Wednesday, April 2, 2025-SW Michigan-Rain With Possible Storms

Currently 32 with an average wind from the ENE of 11 mph. Feels like 23 degrees, Dew Point 53, Barometer 29.77, Humidity 100%, Visibility 4 mi., Sunrise 7:23 am, Sunset 8:09 pm.

Patchy fog until about midday. Rain with chance of thunderstorms. Some of the thunderstorms maybe be severe in the afternoon. High around 60. SE winds 15-25 mph with gusts to 40 deceasing to 30 by day’s end.

70% chance of rain with the possibility of thunderstorms in the evening becoming partly cloudy overnight. Low in the mid 40s. SW winds 10-120 with gusts to 30.

Been raining since I woke up this morning and looks to be an all day affair.  Already had a couple loud crashes of thunder -which scared my cat silly. Be aware that we could get some wind and severe thunderstorms later today. Don’t rule out a tornado alert. I think it would be lovely to have a simple rainy day with no dramatics involved. That isn’t what we have in store for today.

Watch for our temperatures to take yet another dip the beginning of next week. Could even see a snowflake or two on Monday. I’m hoping things change by then, but not counting on it. Hard to imagine but it looks like the month of April just took up the baton from March and is running along with it – in spite of what we expected or would prefer.

Tuesday, April 1, 2025-SW Michigan-Sunshine Today, Storms Tomorrow

Currently 28 with an average wind from the NNE 6. Feels like 28 degrees. Dew Point 22, Barometer 30.19, Humidity 68%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:25 am, Sunset 8:08 pm.

90% chance of snow/rain/freezing rain overnight. Low in the lower 30s. E winds 10-20 mph with gusts to 35.

Today will be a calm one but head’s up about tomorrow. Look for a possible repeat of the severe stuff we got the other day.

Winter Storm Omari is racing across the country and most of wintry part of this will be way north of our area with definitely severe weather much more to the south. However, we will find ourself more or less in the center of it all. Neither the measurable snow to the north nor the high risk of tornado and flooding issues to the south. So…tonight will likely bring us our version – some wind with snow and rain. Tomorrow be aware that we could be in for a bit of all of it with a few severe storms, so just be ready in case.

Monday, March 31, 2025-SW Michigan-Chilly Calm After The Storm

Currently 34 with a 4 mph average wind from the W. Feels like 28 degrees. Dew Point 31, Barometer 29.42, Humidity 91%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:26 am, Sunset 8:07 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a high in the upper 30s. NW winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 30.

Mostly clear with a low in the mid 20s. N winds 5-15 mph.

Much cooler today after an afternoon of storms yesterday. Severe Storm Warnings, Tornado Warnings, Wind Alerts…we had it all. Lucky in my area, things didn’t get real bad but when the sirens where sounding I was nestled into my safe place just in case. I’m not 100% sure but there is a fair chance that we’ll get some repeat of that sort of weather come this Wednesday. Winter Storm Omari is going to be bringing snow and wintry stuff to other places – even to the north of us in northern Michigan – but we’ll be in line for the chance of some wind and severe rain weather here. Just a head’s up in case. Tomorrow, on the other hand, the first of April should come in making a good impression on us of the new month. I say enjoy it ’cause the next day won’t be nearly as pleasant.

 

 

Sunday, March 30, 2025-SW Michigan-A Dismal Day

Sunday, March 30, 2025-SW Michigan-A Dismal Day

Currently 46 with an average wind of 1 mph from the ESE. Feels like 45 degrees. Dew Point 53, Barometer 29.66, Humidity 100%, Visibility 1.5 mi., Sunrise 7:28 am, Sunset 8:06 pm.

Possible risk of severe weather today.

90% chance of rain today. High in the upper 60s. S winds 5-15 mph with gusts to 25 increasing to 35 in the afternoon.

90% chance of overnight rain with a chance of thunderstorms. There is the possibility of snow flakes mixing in at some point. Low in the lower 30s. SW winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 30.

This is simply a lousy day. Chilly, wet…nothing that makes being outside comfortable in the least. Tomorrow doesn’t sound a whole heck of a lot better. However, all we need to do is hang in there and Tuesday will be happier with some sunshine showing up. There is nothing to say that at some point in the next week or so we won’t see yet another day dropping down into the 30s, but if we do, it will be a one off and most days should be in the 50s. Things have to improve at some point, so all we have to do is wait it out. We should be used to that but it is getting old, isn’t it?

Saturday, March 29, 2025-SW Michigan-Light Rain Expected Today

Saturday, March 29, 2025-SW Michigan-Light Rain Expected Today

Currently 64 with a 5 mph average wind from the SSW. Feels like 64 degrees. Dew Point 54, Barometer 29.86, Humidity 67%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:30 am, Sunset 8:05 pm.

90% chance of overnight rain. Low in the upper 40s. SE winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 20 in the evening.

Heard some thunder yesterday and it’s been so long since I have, I hardly recognized what I was hearing for a second there. More chance for that sound over the next couple of days. April 1 is still looking to make an entrance with a showing of some sunshine. Sure sounds encouraging. In the meantime, Monday ending March looks to be a potential mess. Chilly, rain, perhaps a snow flake or two. A proper ending for a disappointing month.

Friday, March 28, 2025-SW Michigan-Rain Today

Friday, March 28, 2025-SW Michigan-Rain Today

Currently 52 with an average wind from the SE of 2 mph. Feels like 52 degrees. Dew Point 46, Barometer 29.94, Humidity 98%, Visibility 2.9 mi., Sunrise 7:32 am, Sunset 8:03 pm.

Raining this morning. A light rain so far but there is the possibility for a thunderstorm to put in an appearance. Frankly, I’m looking forward to some thunder and lightening for a change instead of watching snow fall. Looks like April may come in with a bit of sunshine but don’t get too excited ’cause we’ll all right back in to some rain right after. At least the temperature numbers are set to be higher. And it’s about time for that, too. Expecting some great things from April ’cause March was pretty much a total letdown. We’ll see soon because it’s surprising how quickly it’s approaching.

Currently 41 with an average wind from the SSW of 3 mph. Feels like 39 degrees, Dew Point 31, Barometer 30.15, Humidity 56%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:33 am, Sunset 8:02 pm.

Mostly sunny becoming partly sunny with a 20% chance of some rain. High around 50. W winds 5-15 mph with gusts to 30.

Partly cloudy in the evening becoming mostly cloudy with a low in the upper 30s. Light winds becoming E 5-10 mph overnight.

Bright and sunny skies out there this morning will be changing by tomorrow. Rain will move in through Sunday with slight chances of a thunderstorm or two. Look for the chance of snow with temperatures right back in the 30s on Monday. March is determined to go out on a low note. I’d like to say that would be the last of our 30 degree temperatures and I’m hopeful that’s so, but we know how things can go astray in a hurry weather-wise. For now that’s the picture for the next 4 days. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that things will greatly improve after that.

Partly cloudy with an overnight low around 30. Light winds becoming SW 5-10 mph.

Still looking for sunshine through tomorrow with rain following Friday through Sunday. Monday is still looking colder with a chance for some snow showers to put in an appearance. Nothing is changing and nothing is encouragingly looking much like spring. Such is life…

Tuesday, march 25, 2025-SW Michigan-Several Days Of Sunshine For Us

Tuesday, march 25, 2025-SW Michigan-Several Days Of Sunshine For Us

Currently 30 with an average wind of 6 mph from the SW. Feels like 27 degrees. Dew Point 26, Barometer 29.94, Humidity 74%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:37 am, Sunset 8:00 pm.

Mostly sunny with a high in the lower 40s. NW winds 5-15 mph with gusts to around 25.

Mostly clear with a low in the mid 20s. NW winds around 10 mph.

Wow – look for some sunshine today, tomorrow…Thursday. Unfortunately that will end on Friday with rain, which will then be with us through Sunday. Until Monday when the bottom falls out and we’re once again back into winter. We just can’t seem to win here. March seems destined to go out with cold temperatures and a wintry mix. Sounds charming doesn’t it?  April is promising better starting out the first day at least 10 degrees warmer. That’s something, I guess. Chalk up this month of March as a loser in the spring game. Better luck next year, I suppose, is the only way to look at it.
