Partly cloudy to overcast tonight. Low 31. WSW winds 5-10 mph.

Except for some possible snow flurries showing up now and then – maybe Tuesday night, Wednesday morning – looks like a fairly decent week ahead.. Nights still darn cold but daytime temps showing signs of wanting to get with the spring thing idea. At any rate, nothing drastic or worrisome in the forecast for now. Just this transitional period that does seem to drag on, but at least it’s begun. Grateful for that.

Currently 30 with an average wind from the W of 12 mph. Feels like 21 degrees. Dew Point 23, Humidity 74%, Barometer 30.15 & rising, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:21 am, Sunset 6:29 pm.

Cloudy to partly cloudy today with a high around 34. WNW winds 10-20 mph.

A few overnight clouds. Low 18. NE winds 5-10 mph.

Maybe it’s just me. No, probably is just me wishful thinking, but the air this morning feels different, less like winter and more like spring. At any rate, look for a handful of 40 degree days this coming week. And that has to be encouraging. It is for me. Nothing drastic or harsh ahead this week, not for now at least, and that’s  good. Some above average temperatures – no snow? Oh yeah…looking fine to me.

Currently 24 with an average wind from the W of 6 mph. Feels like 11. Dew Point 16, Humidity 70%, Barometer 30.45 & falling, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 7:22 am, Sunset 6:28 pm.

Morning clouds should mostly clear out in the afternoon. A few snow flurries still possible. High 29. WSW winds 15-25 mph.

A few overnight passing clouds. Low 27. WSW winds 10-20 mph.

Gradually our temperatures will continue to inch up. Maybe not the overnight number just yet. They mostly look to be hovering below the freezing mark. But over all things will get better – and warmer. Could we have seen our last winter storm? I wouldn’t make any bets on that, but spring is right around the proverbial corner anyway. Enjoy the sunshine even if it still doesn’t have much of a capability of warming up the air. Everything looks better and warmer when the sun is out.

Currently 18 with an average wind from the N of 10 mph. Feels like 6 degrees. Dew Point 12, Humidity 77%, Barometer 30.37, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 7:24 am, Sunset 6:26 pm.

Some early breaks in the overcast sky mostly cloudy later. A few snow flurries possible. High 27. NW winds 5 -10 mph.

Partly cloudy overnight. Low 15. WSW winds 5-10 mph.

We did get several inches of snow from this passing winter storm system. Thankfully it is of the light, fluffy variety making shoveling it out of the way much easier. Watch for a very slight – but none-the-less welcome – warm up. Even having the nights not get down to brutal cold will be refreshing. Soon it will be March and things are bound to be looking up weather-wise. In the meantime, Winter Storm Oaklee is busy traveling along to it’s demise once it spends time bothering the east coast. For us, it’s long gone.

Currently 14 with an average wind from the ENE of 10 mph. Feels like 1 degrees. Dew Point 9, Humidity 79%, Barometer 30.56, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:26 am, Sunset 6:25 pm.

A mix of sun and clouds today with a few flurries late in the afternoon possible. High 28. ENE wind 10-20 mph.

80% chance of overnight snow. 1-3″ possible. Low 16. NE winds 10-20 mph.

Winter Storm Oaklee is set to bring us some snow. Doesn’t look like a whole lot, but whatever we get we’ll be stuck with for awhile because it’s not going to be warming up much right away. Starting about Sunday or Monday a gradual warm up seems likely. And we are heading into March which is a very encouraging thing. Just keep the snow shovel handy for tomorrow morning.

Currently 19 with an average wind from the NW of 12 mph. Feels like 6 degrees. Dew Point 12, Humidity 73%, Barometer 30.39, Visibility 3 mi., Sunrise 7:27 am, Sunset 6:24 pm.

Breezy this morning with a 20% chance of some snow flurries. Mostly cloudy and colder today. High 26. WNW winds 10-20 with gusts to 25.

Mostly cloudy and cold overnight. Low 14 degrees. NE winds 5-10 mph.

After a couple of days with fairly comfortable (for Feb in Michigan) temperatures, the numbers took a tumble again back to cold again. Looks as if Winter Storm Oakley will be bringing us a bit of snow late Thursday and Thursday night. Right now it doesn’t look as if anything impressive, but a couple of inches anyway.

Currently 35 with an average wind from the SSE of 2 mph .Feels like 28 degrees. Dew Point 35, Humidity 100%, Barometer 29.76, Visibility 2 mi., Sunrise 7:29 am, Sunset 6:22 pm

Foggy. 100% chance of rain. Some afternoon thunder possible. High around 47 degrees. SSE winds 10-15 mph.

Cloudy with the chance of a few snow flurries or showers. Low near 21. WNW winds 10-20 mph.

Should be interesting to have ourselves a rainy day – with thunder. Sure been a while. Be cautious though as today’s high temperatures and plenty of precipitation will leave us wide open for nothing but ice everywhere by tomorrow morning. All of this stuff is going to freeze overnight and Voila! icy roads and sidewalks.  (Just listening to some thunder right now. I love it.)  And  rain or not enjoy today’s high numbers as it all takes a tumble again right back into cold.

Just a taste of Spring rains is encouraging though, isn’t it?

Currently 34 with an average wind from the E of 16 mph. Feels like 34 degrees. Dew Point 29, Humidity 84%, Barometer 30.14, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:30 am, Sunset 6:21 pm.

Mostly cloudy today with a high of about 41 degrees. E winds 10-20 mph.

Cloudy with a 70% chance of occasional overnight rain. Low 33. E winds 10-20 mph.

There is yet another winter storm on the horizon. I think it’s Winter Storm Nancy. We could be looking at some snow Thursday/Friday from this one. Right now, it actually looks as if we’re on the lower side of this one – most unusual as our pattern as been to hover on the northern or upper level of a storm and we’ve missed most of the snow. No telling yet about this one. If it sags down farther by the end of the week, we could actually see some snow. In the meantime, look for the chance of some freezing rain mixing in a few of the overnights. It’s possible. It’s that time of year in Michigan where a cold rain is very likely apt to be mixed in with some freezing rain. Just watch for it and hopefully none of it will come about.

Currently 12 with an average wind from the NW of 16 mph. Feels like -4 degrees. Dew Point 6, Humidity 74%, Barometer 30.28, Visibility 6 mi., Sunrise 7:33 am, Sunset 6:18 pm.

Some early breaks in the clouds. Cloudy afternoon with a chance of snow showers. High 18. Wind chill readings as low as -14 until midday. WNW winds 10-20 mph with gusts to 40 until about midday.

A few overnight clouds. Low 14. SSW winds 10-20 mph.

The wind howling through most of the night was unnerving. Frankly, I had a hard time sleeping, it make me nervous listening to it. Beastly cold this morning when I went out to feed the critters and I measured about 2 1/2 ” of snow from last night.  Personally I’ve had about enough of winter. Not that I have any say in the matter because we’re in for more of it.  Some chance of snow almost every day next week with temperatures for the most part hovering in the 20s daytime and teens overnight. February continues…
