Friday, Sept. 10, 2021-SW Michigan-Possible Morning Rain Today

Friday, Sept. 10, 2021-SW Michigan-Possible Morning Rain Today

Currently 61 with an average wind from the S of 1 mph. Feels like 61 degrees. Dew Point 54, Barometer 30.09, Humidity 77%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:18 am, Sunset 8:03 pm.

40% chance of some morning rain. Afternoon partly cloudy. High 77 degrees. SW winds 10-15 mph.

Partly cloudy with a low of 59. SSW winds 5 -10 mph.

The morning started out with a lot of blue sky, a few patchy clouds, but it’s clouded up fairly solid right now. Rain? Doubtful, but the opportunity is hanging around out there. Should be a good weekend with temperatures in the low 80s. One site mentioned a bit of rain on Sunday but most hold out for a pleasant weekend. Nights are getting chilly now, too chilly already for me by morning, but nothing I can do about it but start thinking Spring already. Which I do – every single year. Too much chilliness coming up until fine weather – more to my taste – comes back. Alas…..

Thursday, Sept. 9, 2021-SW Michigan-Another Cool, Sunny Day

Thursday, Sept. 9, 2021-SW Michigan-Another Cool, Sunny Day

Currently 56 with an average wind from the WNW of 1 mph. Feels like 56 degrees. Dew Point 54, Barometer 29.95, Humidity 85%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:17 am, Sunrise 8:05 pm.

Sunny morning could bring along a few afternoon clouds and a very slight chance of a rain shower. High 71. NW winds 10-15 mph.

Clear to partly cloudy. Low near 50. NNW winds 5 -10 mph.

A bright rather chilly morning will become a comfortable sunny day. For the most part. Maybe a passing cloud or two, but nice, none-the-less. Sounds like a handful of great days coming with a terrific weekend. Plenty of people will be out and about taking advantage of the time between too hot and what’s eventually coming, too cold. We are definitely heading into Fall.

Wednesday, Sept. 8, 2021-SW Michigan-Plenty Of Sunshine Today

Wednesday, Sept. 8, 2021-SW Michigan-Plenty Of Sunshine Today

Currently 66 with an average wind from the W of 4 mph. Feels like 66 degrees. Dew Point 56, Barometer 29.71, Humidity 74%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:16 am, Sunset 8:06 pm.

Lots of sunshine today with a high around 73 degrees. WNW winds 10-20 mph.

A few passing overnight clouds with a very small chance of a rain shower.s Low 52. NW winds 10-15 mph.

Nice weather is with us. This weekend could bring us a few clouds but temperatures perhaps around 80 degrees. Next week seems to hold out some hope for rain, but we all know how that goes around here. Even with the heavy weather that rolled through Michigan yesterday, I measured .20″ of rain in my gauge. Virtually nothing to speak of here. So keeping fingers crossed for rain next week seems to be a waste of useful things to do with out fingers. We’ll have to see, but I’m not making any bets on precipitation.

Tuesday, Sept. 7, 2021-SW Michigan-Fair Chance For Rain Later Today

Tuesday, Sept. 7, 2021-SW Michigan-Fair Chance For Rain Later Today

Currently 60 with an average wind from the SE of 4 mph. Feels like 60 degrees. Dew Point 56, Barometer 29.78, Humidity 74, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:14 am, Sunset 8:08 pm.

Partly cloudy overnight skies with a 24% chance of a stray shower or thunderstorm. Low 57. W winds 10-15 mph.

Hate to count on it, but there does seem to be a pretty good chance we might see some rain today. Perhaps even something a bit harsh later today – about the time everyone is driving home from work, actually. Things change. Especially things weather related so who know. Just be aware that the opportunity is out there as of now.

Monday, Sept. 6, 2021-SW Michigan-Lovely Today, Storms Maybe Tomorrow

Currently 74 with an average wind from the SW of 6 mph. Feels like 73 degrees. Dew Point 50%, Barometer 29.92, Humidity 45%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:13 am, Sunset 8:10 pm

A mix of sun and clouds today with a high of 75. WNW winds 10-15 mph.

Clear overnight skies with a low of 52. SSW winds 5 -10 mph.

Today is a dandy. Nice temperature, low humidity. A perfect Labor Day. In fact, this has been an unusually nice 3 day holiday weekend. Something Michigan doesn’t always get. Enjoy today because by tomorrow afternoon we could be facing some thunderstorms. A chance of a few being severe.

Sunny with a high of 78 degrees. W winds 10-20 mph.

40% chance of overnight rain. Low 54 degrees. WNW winds 10-15 mph.

What a lovely September day. Sunny, comfortable temperatures. Can’t ask for much more. Oh, we could have asked for a little more rain yesterday but we, as usual, get what we get. I only measured about .20″ in the gauge this morning. Not much moisture but better than none, I reckon.  I did read one report that said summer type warmth could be back with us at some point in September, but we’ll see how that goes. I’d welcome it but I know lots of folks are ready for fall cool temperatures to come around.

Saturday, Sept. 4, 2021-SW Michigan-Small Chance Of Some Rain Today/Tonight

Saturday, Sept. 4, 2021-SW Michigan-Small Chance Of Some Rain Today/Tonight

Currently 70 with an average wind from the SE of 6 mph. Feels like 70 degrees. Dew Point 57, Barometer 29.93, Humidity 68%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:11 am, Sunset 8:14 pm.

Cloudy with a 40% chance of afternoon rain showers. High 73. SSW winds 10-15 mph.

60% chance of rain showers early then partial clearing overnight. Low 57. W winds 5 – 10 mph.

A few chances for rain this week – but we know how that goes, don’t we? Usually goes north, south east or west of us – but rarely on target. We could definitely use some of it, so hopefully at least some of it will reach us at least one of those opportunities. There is a small chance of getting back to an 80 degree day next weekend. Not this one. We should stay comfortably in the 70 degree range this week.

Friday, Sept. 3, 2021-SW Michigan-Slight Chance Of Rain Tomorrow, None Today

Friday, Sept. 3, 2021-SW Michigan-Slight Chance Of Rain Tomorrow, None Today

Currently 63 with an average wind from the SE of 1 mph. Feels like 63 degrees.  Dew Point 53, Barometer 30.16, Humidity 67%, Visibility 10 mil, Sunrise 7:10 am, Sunset 8:15 pm.

A mix of sun and clouds in the morning becoming mostly cloudy later in the day. High 77. SE winds 5 -10 mph.

Cloudy overnight with a very slight chance of rain showers. SE winds 5 -10 mph.

Nice looking sky today with the cloud and sun mixture. And feeling cool like Fall. Guess we just have to get used to that because after all, it’s Fall. Doesn’t matter what the ‘official’ dates are for Fall. Everyone knows that Sept., Oct., Nov – Fall. And here we are in September already. Amazing how fast the Summer flew by. Anyway, there is a fair chance of rain tomorrow and then again maybe next Tuesday. Otherwise, fair skies for us.

Partly cloudy overnight. Low 52. Light and variable winds.

Looks like the 70 degree temperatures and no mention of rain continues on through the week. Nights already feeling like Fall. Not sure I’m ready for this.

Sunny. High 79. NE winds 10 -15 mph.

Clear overnight skies. Low 49. NE winds 5 -10 mph.

Windows wide open at night now make the comforter on the bed feel downright comfy. Already. Didn’t take long, did it? Suddenly Summer seems to be exiting, stage left, quietly retiring it’s star character. Warmth. I’m, as usual, not ready for this. Never am. Not even after a nice hot Summer like we’ve had. Alas…since I have no say in the schedule of what weather stays or goes, I’m just going to have to adjust. As usual. Grumbling all the way.
