Sunday, Dec. 11, 2022-SW Michigan-Light Drizzle, Fog, Lots Of Clouds

Currently 33 with an average wind from the NNE of 2 mph. Feels like 33 degrees. Dew Point 33, Barometer 30.06, Humidity 100%, Visibility 0.25 mi., Sunrise 8:03 am, Sunset 5:07 pm.

Cloudy with a 30% chance of drizzle and light snow. Areas of fog until about midday. High in the upper 30s. Light winds.

Cloudy with a low in the upper 20s overnight. light winds.

Still seeing way, way too many episodes of freezing drizzle being called for in our forecast next week. Just be careful ’cause it’s looking like a messy handful of days. Quite foggy this morning, probably going to be seeing a lot of this hanging around too for awhile until winter finally settles in and evens things out.

Saturday, Dec. 10, 2022-SW Michigan-No Precipitation Expected Until Tonight

Saturday, Dec. 10, 2022-SW Michigan-No Precipitation Expected Until Tonight

Currently 30 with an average wind from the ENE of 5 mph. Feels like 25 degrees.  Dew Point 29, Barometer 30.17, Humidity 94%, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 8:02 am, Sunset 5:07 pm.

Cloudy with a high in the upper 30s. E winds 5-10 with gusts to 20 until about midday.

Cloudy with a 40% chance of freezing drizzle and snow showers. Low 30s. Light winds.

Nothing much expected today but tonight could get a bit messy. Maybe tomorrow morning. There is far too many instances of frozen mix or drizzle showing up in our forecast right on through next week. Winter Storm Diaz is going to be storming through the country next week. It looks as if we won’t be getting the brunt of it like out west, but some of it will undoubtedly be impacting our area. Would rather see nothing but snow from that system, but unfortunately, as of now, it appears our share might include frozen mix or freezing drizzle.  Just be careful next week, no matter what we get, be ready for it.

Friday, Dec. 9, 2022-SW Michigan-Chance For A Bit of Snow

Friday, Dec. 9, 2022-SW Michigan-Chance For A Bit of Snow

Currently 29 with an average wind from the ENE of 11 mph. Feels like 17, Dew Point 26, Barometer 30.18, Humidity 88%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:01 am, Sunset 5:07 pm.

70% chance of snow in the evening with the possibility of 1″ accumulation. High in the lower 30s. E winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 25.

50% chance of evening snow with the possibility of patchy freezing drizzle overnight. Low in the upper 20s. E winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 25.

Could get a little snow to make those Christmas lights even prettier. Not thrilled with the words freezing drizzle showing up every place the word snow is inserted in our forecast. Next week looks to give us way too many opportunities for that to happen. Most everyone would welcome some snow now – after all, the Christmas scene and all – but nothing spoils that faster than ice or freezing drizzle. Let’s all hope for it to do the right thing and simply give us some snow.

Thursday, Dec. 8, 2022-SW Michigan-Look For Some Snow Tomorrow

Thursday, Dec. 8, 2022-SW Michigan-Look For Some Snow Tomorrow

Currently 30 with an average wind from the SW of 4 mph. Feels like 25 degrees. Dew Point 30, Barometer 30.28, Humidity 99%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:00 am, Sunset 5:07 pm.

Mostly cloudy today with a high in the mid 40s. NE winds 5-10 mph.

Partly cloudy overnight with a low in the upper 20s. E winds 5-15 mph.

The snow seems to have vanished from tonight’s forecast but look for an inch or two tomorrow. I would say it’s very likely we’ll see much more than that about mid-week next week. The opportunity seems to be there with a big storm system moving into the west coast and set to move across the nation, as they always do. Early on to say whether we’ll get a lot of a little, but for sure we’ll be getting some. We’ve seen these systems slide to the south or the north. Who knows right now?  Be ready for it, just in case.

Mostly cloudy with areas of fog until midday. High in the lower 40s. Light winds.

Mostly clear in the evening becoming partly cloudy. Low in the upper 20s. N winds 5-10 mph becoming NE.

Still looking much like what things looked like yesterday. Chance for precipitation Thursday night into Friday. Only new thing is there appears to be several opportunities for a frozen mix starting the enter the picture for next week. Hopefully that will change by the time we get to that point. We’ll see. In the meantime, the roads are staying decent for traveling about. Good enough.

Should see a bit of sunshine tomorrow. Still looking like some overnight snow on Thursday followed by the possibility of freezing rain on Friday. At some point we’ll be getting precipitation of some sort before Saturday. Would rather not see the freezing drizzle words showing up. That can get treacherous very quickly. At any rate, do be careful this week and keep an eye on the weather and the roads.

Chances for some freezing rain tonight and maybe tomorrow night. Then look for some snow Thursday night and into Friday. Nothing drastic but the possibilities for precipitation are there. Just be careful and watchful.

Sunday, Dec. 4, 2022-SW Michigan-Bright But Chilly

Currently 33 with an average wind from the SSW of 7 mph. Feels like 22 degrees. Dew Point 23, Barometer 30.02, Humidity 66%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:57 am, Sunset 5:07 pm.

Sunny. High in the mid 30s. SW winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 30.

Mostly clear overnight with a low in the upper 20s. SW winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 25.

It’s a pretty day, a bit on the nippy side, especially when that wind kicks in. But at least it’s dry. Can’t complain about that for December in Michigan. Could be a bit of rain tomorrow – or not. It seems to be a toss-up between weather reports. At any rate, nothing drastic on the horizon so far. Chilly but getting a share of sunshine isn’t all bad.

Saturday, Dec. 3, 2022-SW Michigan-Still Could Get A Bit Of Rain/Snow

Saturday, Dec. 3, 2022-SW Michigan-Still Could Get A Bit Of Rain/Snow

Currently 31 with an average wind from the SW of 5 mph. Feels like 27 degrees. Dew Point 29, Barometer 29.98, Humidity 90%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:56 am, Sunset 5:05 pm.

Cloudy with a 40% chance of rain/snow until about midday then becoming partly sunny. High in the upper 30s. W winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 40 degreasing to 30 in the afternoon.

Partly cloudy overnight with a low in the lower 20s. W winds 5-15 mph.

Quite windy overnight. The wind chime outside my window was going crazy a lot of the time. It’s calmed down this morning but could still get more during the daylight hours. Was worried about overnight rain turning into icy roads or a snow mix, but neither of these worries materialized. Cold, but not much precipitation here in my little back yard.

Looking for a bit of sun tomorrow and perhaps rain on Monday.

Friday, Dec. 2, 2022-SW Michigan-Rain/Snow Mix Tonight

Friday, Dec. 2, 2022-SW Michigan-Rain/Snow Mix Tonight

Currently 37 with an average wind from the SE of 5 mph. Feels like 37 degrees. Dewe Point 23, Barometer 29.9, Humidity 55%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:54 am, Sunset 5:08 pm

Mosty cloudy with a high in the mid 40s. S winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 25.

70% chance of rain-some snow showers mixed in. Low around 31. SW winds 15-20 becoming W 15-25 with gusts to 45.

I’m thinking if the overnight temperature hovers below freezing and we get a lot of rain, it would stand to reason that some of that is going to end up snow. Just be alert in the morning. Could be icy roads or snowy roads.

Lots of cold air aloft far to the north of us, and I’m sure some of it will drop down in our area. It doesn’t look super cold next week, but temps mostly in the 30s for the most part.  Not too much snow in our forecast at present. A few snow shower opportunities. Hopefully they won’t amount to much.
