A strong fall front is set to swoop down on us today, bringing a change in our weather pattern that is very likely set to be with us until it gets even more chilly. Which won’t take too long. Anyway, today there is a slight chance for some strong weather, perhaps small hail. It’s a definite change for our system.  Bound to happen and Viola! here it comes. Turn off that A/C, change that filter and get ready to be using the heat before too long. Our nighttime temperatures are going to tumble into the 40s. Time to find those fall jackets and get them ready for daily use.

Monday, Sept. 19, 2022-SW Michigan-A Pleasant, Sunny Day

Currently 68 with an average wind from the WNW of 4 mph. Feels like 68 degrees. Dew Point 63, Barometer 29.9, Humidity 85%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7;26 am, Sunset 7:45 pm.

Mostly clear overnight with a low in the mid 60s. Light winds.

Cooler temperatures are on the way for next week while in the meantime, fall color is beginning to crop up here and there. Not much yet, but it’s begun. The Finch have already lost their summer brilliance and are now beginning to be dressed in their drab, less dangerous winter colors. Hummers are still here but not for much longer, I suspect. Summer winding up and Autumn unwinding. Just the nature of things Looks like an uneventful changeover from here. So far.

Not a bad little morning going on. Slight chance of some rain later and overnight but none again until maybe Tuesday-Wednesday. That opportunity for precipitation will usher in some cooler weather with a more Fall-like feel to our days. Bound to happen sooner or later. Only in the 60s, but that for someone who likes 80-degree days, that is definitely on the cool side. Probably time to put away the short-sleeve blouses for the season.

There is a small chance of rain tomorrow, but the opportunity for rain is still in the picture. We should probably be ready for more Fall-like stuff coming our way. After all, it is the middle of September. Seeing more and more drier leaves that have given up the fight and fallen already, but not a whole lot of color around so far. There will be. In the meantime, enjoy this morning and get ready for likely rain overnight.

Not a single thing going on in this morning’s sky. Nice, but not exactly a photo op. Look like not much more than nice early Autumn days ahead…except for, guess what? Well, that would be a Sunday, wouldn’t it? Pretty much can count on a forecast of some rain for Sunday. The only surprise is when it doesn’t happen. What is it about Mother Nature and weeping on Sunday? At any rate, let’s hope no rain this time around. The rest of the days all look pleasant and comfortable.

Nothing harsh or drastic on the horizon. Seeing a few leaves giving up, letting go and falling now. Not a lot, but it’s begun.

Nice weather but rather chilly. We do have some 80-degree days coming up this weekend though. Sounds good to me. As of right now, not much rain in the forecast – maybe around Monday – but that could change. As it so often does. Cool enough for me to grab a light jacket already. Lots of peeps thrilled that cooler weather is upon us. I’m just not one of them.
