Wednesday, Nov. 9, 2022-SW Michigan-Couple Good Days, Then Not So Much

Wednesday, Nov. 9, 2022-SW Michigan-Couple Good Days, Then Not So Much

Currently 46 with an average wind from the SE of 6 mph. Feels like 42 degrees. Dew Point 38, Humidity 73%, Barometer 30.24, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:27 am, Sunset 5:24 pm.

Partly sunny with a high in the lower 60s. S winds 5-10 mph.]

Partly cloudy with a low in the lower 50s. S winds around 10 mph with gusts to 2o.

Today won’t be bad, tomorrow better, and then the bottom falls out. Rain, probably snow showers, and 30 degree days. None of that sounds good. And I’m sure it won’t be. We knew it was coming but these lovely un-Michigan November days have been a delight. Unfortunately, the delight is about set to leave the area.

Tuesday, Nov 8, 2022-SW Michigan-Election Day – Vote!

Currently 37 with an average wind from the NE of 7 mph. Feels like 32 degrees. Dew Point 34, Humidity 87%, Barometer 30.61, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:25 am, Sunset 5:25 pm.

Mostly sunny with a high in the lower 50s. E winds 5-15 mph.

Partly cloudy with a low in the lower 30s overnight. SE winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 20.

Decent weather the next few days. One site has the chance of snow showers visiting us Friday night through Sunday. I prefer the other sites that simply call for clouds and cooler weather. In the meantime we do have these few days to enjoy before it cools down.

Wherever you are in the USA, today is election day and it’s vital that you get out and vote. A great deal of what this country stands for is in your hands.

Monday, Nov. 7, 2022-SW Michigan-Slight Warm Up Before Rain And Lower Temps

Monday, Nov. 7, 2022-SW Michigan-Slight Warm Up Before Rain And Lower Temps

Currently 45 with an average wind from the SW of 7 mph. Feels like 41 degrees. Dew Point 27, Humidity 49%, Barometer 30.31, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:24 am, Sunset 5:27 pm.

Sunny with a high in the upper 40s. NW winds 5-15 mph with gusts to around 25.

Mostly clear. Low in the lower 30s. N winds around 5 mph becoming NE overnight.

Temperatures will rise slightly to a could-be 70 degrees on Friday. Unfortunately, then the rain sets in and we’ll end up pretty much 30 degrees lower before we know it. I guess it’s that’s time of year in Michigan. However, these next few days will be the ones to get out there in any degree of comfort and deal with yard issues. Thankfully Mother Nature is granting us this window to get out there and tend to tasks.

Sunday, Nov. 6, 2022-SW Michigan-Pleasant Weather Continues

Sunday, Nov. 6, 2022-SW Michigan-Pleasant Weather Continues

Currently 54 with an average wind from the SSE of 6 mph. Feels like 54 degrees. Dew Point 41, Barometer 29.81, Humidity 62%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:23 am, Sunset 5:28 pm.

Mostly cloudy through early afternoon then clearing. High in the upper 50s. SW winds 15-20 mph with gusts to 30.

Clear overnight. Low in the upper 30s. W winds 10-15 mph.

This comfortable weather is supposed to last through this next coming week. Unbelievable. Saw folks out golfing this morning. I’m fairly sure they won’t be doing so next weekend. By then our daytime temperatures are likely to be in the 30s rather than the 50s. Some rain coming about Thursday, lasting into Saturday and that batch of rain coming will help lower our temperatures. Enjoy today and this coming week. Could be the last of the unusual Michigan November.

Currently 58 with an average wind from the ESE of 7 mph. Feels like 58 degrees. Dew Point 55, Barometer 29.51, Humidity 9 mi., Sunrise 8:21 am, Sunset 6:29 pm.

Wind Advisory in effect until 8:00 pm. Small Craft Advisory in effect on the big lake until 8:00 tonight. High winds could produce waves 10-15 ft.

90% chance of rain today. High in the mid 60s. SW winds 20-30 mph with gusts to 55 in the afternoon.

Mostly cloudy to partly cloudy overnight. Low in the lower 40s. SW winds 20-30 mph with gusts to 55 decreasing to 10-15 mph with gusts to 30.

Rain for sure today with wind possibly kicking up in the afternoon. Best to stay off the big lake today with the chance of some dangerous waves being created by this wind system set to blow by today. Anything you have to do outside is much better planned for tomorrow or Monday. Tomorrow looks to be a much calmer, dryer day.  Chance of rain maybe about mid-week. Not a strong possibility, but it’s there. As for today, grab your umbrella if heading out and watch for windblown items during the afternoon.

Expect some rain, even more, look for some high winds tomorrow. There is a possibility of winds up over 50 mph. This ought to mix up those leaves on the ground and deposit them in various places. One place for sure, will be right outside my back door. I expect to end up with a couple feet of leaves I’ll have to wade through – and eventually rake away. Sure do with our local lunatic with the leaf blower could have got here earlier in the week and helped out. But no….Anyway, batter down the hatches and anything else you don’t want to blow about on Saturday.

Today will be very comfortable and tonight the temperatures will remain warm for this time of year in Michigan. Look for some rain tomorrow, Saturday, but other than that no rain is showing up in our picture for the next coming week. Looking like another winner of a week. So far, November is being kind to us. The longer that goes on, the better.

Currently 47 with an average wind from the ESE of 1 mph. Feels like 47 degrees. Dew Point 44, Barometer 30.23, Humidity 90%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:18 am, Sunset 6:33 pm.

A terrific day with plentiful sunshine. Still looking at rain Friday and Saturday but for now the rain seems to have been removed from Sunday. A half a nice weekend is better than none, though, right? Our weather is continuing to be remarkable for early November. Looking way, way ahead to a week from this coming Friday, the first mention of frozen mix puts in an appearance. Maybe that will vanish by the time it rolls around, but hey…it’s November in Michigan, so even if it does disappear, it’s bound to return. We are really lucking out with our weather so far. Appreciate it, we know full well it can’t last forever.

Tueasday, Nov. 1, 2022-SW Michigan-Foggy Start To November

Tueasday, Nov. 1, 2022-SW Michigan-Foggy Start To November

Currently 50 degrees with an average wind from the SSE of 4 mph. Feels like 48 degrees. Dew Point 50, Barometer 29.99, Humidity 100%, Visibility 1.5 mi., Sunrise 8:16 am, Sunset 6:34 pm.

Mostly cloudy with areas of patchy fog until midday then clearing. High in the lower 60s. SW winds around 10 mph with gusts to 20 in the afternoon.

Mostly clear overnight with areas of patchy fog. Low around 40. Light winds.

November is starting out mild with the usual dense Fall fogs showing up now and then. And remember for every heavy fog we get; we’ll get an equal number of snowstorms at some point during the winter months. Which is totally untrue, but there is so much weather folklore around to consult I figured why not add to the list. In the meantime, enjoy the first couple weeks of November being mild because we all know it could be SO much different and less comfortable.
