Friday, March 11, 2022-SW Michigan-March Is Not Playing Nice

Currently 21 with an average wind from the S of 4 mph. Feels like 15 degrees. Dew Point 16, Humidity 80%, Barometer 30.09 & falling, Visibility 6 mi., Sunrise 7:01 am, Sunset 6:44 pm.

60% chance of snow today. High 32. WSW winds 10-20 mph.

Mostly cloudy  with a chance of more snow flurries. Low 13. NW winds 10-20 mph.

If we can just get past this wintry weekend. Chance of snow seems to be hanging on through the weekend. Nothing drastic for us, merely irritating. It can’t be depressing because we know it’s so temporary now. In fact next week we might even see a 60 degree day. Things are definitely looking up. If the month of March wasn’t so unpredictable and contrary for the most part. Never mind. We shall prevail. Spring will settle in – eventually.

Thursday, March 10, 2022-SW Michigan-Might Get A Bit Of Snow Tonight/Tomorrow Morning

Currently 26 with an average wind from the NW of 7 mph. Feels like 19 degrees. Dew Point 16, Humidity 66%, Barometer 30.26 & rising, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:02 am, Sunset 6:42 pm.

More clouds than sun. High 31. WNW winds 5-10 mph.

Cloudy overnight skies with the chance of some snow showers. Low 19. NNW winds 5-10 mph.

Saturday is still looking like it’s going to be a cold one, but after that look for a nice warm up. And about time, isn’t it? Not a lot of snow coming tonight or tomorrow – I don’t think – but we will be getting some. A reminder that winter is still hovering around and about.  Bundle up for a few more days but by next week things appear to be changing for the better.

Wednesday, March 9, 2022-SW Michigan-Staying Cool For Now

Currently 32 with an average wind from the W of 9 mph. Feels like 24 degrees. Dew Point 28, Humidity 86%, Barometer 29.98, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 7:04 am, Sunset 6:41 pm.

Mix of sun and clouds today with a high around 39. W winds 10-20 mph.

A few overnight clouds. Low 21. WNW winds 5-10 mph.

Don’t look for any warmup yet for a few days and we will be very likely getting some snow showers Thursday night maybe Friday morning. But after that things are looking up. Not way, way up…but better than we’ve had. Probably most days next week will be in the 50s. Might even see a 60 degree popping up. Getting better and better.

Tuesday, March 8, 2022-SW Michigan-Temperatures Staying Low For Awhile Yet

Tuesday, March 8, 2022-SW Michigan-Temperatures Staying Low For Awhile Yet

Currently 32 with an average wind from the SW of 8 mph. Feels like 24 degrees. Dew Point 19, Humidity 60%, Barometer 30.22 & rising, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:06 am, Sunset 6:40 pm.

Partly cloudy. High 38. SW winds 10-15 mph.

Partly cloudy. Low 26. SSW winds 5-10 mph.

Look for temperatures to stay about where they are for a few more days, but by next weekend they’ll start to rise and we’ll see a lot of 50 degrees next week. In the meantime maybe some snow Thursday night, Friday morning. Nothing major, just a reminder that winter doesn’t care to participate with the arrival of spring on any grand scale as yet. No problem. We know spring is going to win this one, eventually.

Monday, March 7, 2022-SW Michigan-The Snow Has Returned

Currently 32 with an average wind from the NW of 5 mph. Feels like 26 degrees. Dew Point 32, Humidity 99%, Barometer 29.85 & rising, Visibility 0.5 mi., Sunrise 7:07 am, Sunset 6:39 pm.

Winter Weather Advisory in effect until 3 pm today. 2-4″ possible.

100% chance of snow today. Temperatures steady in the mid 30s. NW winds 10-20 mph.

Mostly cloudy overnight with a low of 23. W winds 5-10 mph.

Spent some time this morning watching the black squirrels busy burying peanuts and I just wanted to tell them to stop. Eat the darn things. This snow isn’t going to last. They wouldn’t have listened. But the fact is, this snow isn’t going to last. Above freezing daytime temperatures for the next several days should take care of what’s on the sidewalk and roads in short order. We’ll probably get more before Spring moves in and makes itself at home. But none of it will last now. Easier to look at it and think it looks pretty knowing that. Or at least that’s what I’m telling myself.

Sunday, March 6, 2022-SW Michigan-High Winds Prevail

Sunday, March 6, 2022-SW Michigan-High Winds Prevail

Currently 38 with an average wind from the W of 26 mph . Feels like 26 degrees. Due point 32, Humidity 79%, Barometer 29.88 & rising, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:09 am, Sunset 6:38 pm.

Cloudy overnight with an 80% chance of snow. 1-3″ possible. Low 31. WNW winds shifting to NE 10-15 mph.

Might windy out there this morning. I heard the wind kick up a couple of separate times during the night. Mostly it sounded like a roaring wind racing by way up high, but now and then it managed to lower and sound ominous closer to home. For extended amounts of time. I like a good wind storm but not in the middle of the night and not so prolonged.

Expect some snow tonight and tomorrow. It is, after all, March in Michigan so we will be subjected to the occasional bust of snow for a bit yet. I know I’m not alone in wanted to be able to get outside and start tinkering  about in the yard. I’ve had enough of winter.

Saturday, March 5, 2022-SW Michigan-Calm Before The Windy Storm

Saturday, March 5, 2022-SW Michigan-Calm Before The Windy Storm

Currently 40 degrees with an average wind from the SE of 14 mph. Feels like 32 degrees. Dew Point 22, Humidity 47%, Barometer 30.05 & falling, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:11 am, Sunset 6:36 pm.

A morning mix of sun and clouds will become a cloudy afternoon. High 58. SSE winds 10-20 mph.

Windy with a 90% chance of overnight rain. Thunderstorms are possible. Low 44. SSW winds 10-20 mph.

Today looks calm and quiet but things are going to ramp up starting tonight. Look for higher wind speeds. A small chance of seeing some severe weather will be in place and tomorrow’s winds will not be fun. All of this is going to drag in some interesting weather for Monday.  This small uptick in our temperature will be met with a vengeance by the cold Arctic air coming down from Canada. The high wind shear and the instability of the air will be anything but calm and quiet after today.  Colder. Rain possible. Snow maybe. Some sort of mix with possible freezing rain in there, too. Not going to be a grand day and it could all swing one way or another. That high wind could move the snow to our north – or maybe not. Some reporting around 1″ of snow for us. One even dares to say 1-3″. Rather not even consider that one, so I won’t. Just be ready for some sort of variety that we won’t be all that happy with.

Friday, March 4-SW Michigan-Warmer Than Yesterday

Friday, March 4-SW Michigan-Warmer Than Yesterday

 
Currently 25 with an average wind from the S of 5 mph. Feels like 19 degrees. Dew Point 17, Humidity 72%, Barometer 30.51 & rising, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:13 am, Sunset 6:35 pm.
 
Partly cloudy this morning will become overcast in the afternoon. High 41. Light and variable winds.
 
Overcast overnight. Low 31. ESE winds 10-15 mph.
 
Look for it to get windy as there will be a strong wind shear on Sunday. This will be bringing us in some snow for Monday. Might end up with a couple of inches. Not wanted, or needed – it would be much more helpful to get a good rain – but that’s the possibility so just watch for it. Don’t be too hasty putting away that snow shovel just yet.

Nothing special going on weather-wise today. Not too warm but could be worse. Doesn’t look much like snow until about next Monday. No surprise. We can certainly expect some snow in March here in Michigan. Don’t want it, but hey…Mother Nature never, ever asks for our opinion. I’m thinking green leaves, Hummingbirds, flowers…Mother Nature is just sitting back laughing like mad. Yeah…that’s the way it goes.

Wednesday March 2, 2022-SW Michigan-Chance of Some Snow Flurries Today

Currently 29 with an average wind from the S of 7 mph. Feels like 22 degrees. Dew Point 26, Humidity 87%, Barometer 30.11 & falling, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:16 am, Sunset 6:33 pm.

Cloudy with a 40% chance of a snow shower. High 39. WSW winds 10-15 mph.

Mostly cloudy overnight skies. Low 18. N winds 10-15 mph.

It’s March but we’ll still be getting chances for some snow. Not looking like much at a time, but showers and flurries now and then. After today, seems like about next Monday for the next opportunity. In the meantime since most of us consider March, April and May to be Spring months, Spring will keep on keeping on with more of it showing up all the time. I know I’m looking for signs. My favorite season and it most of the time seems so fleeting. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a good, solid Spring this year. We’ll see how it goes.
