Murphy's Weather

Currently 23 with a 4 mph wind from the NW. Feels like 12 degrees. Dew Point 9, Barometer 30.41,  Humidity 56%, Visibility 8 mi., Sunrise 7:19 am, Sunset 6:32 pm.

Sunny. High in the mid 30s. Chance of snow flurries until midday. W winds 10-15 mph becoming SW 5-15 in the afternoon.

Mostly clear. Low in the upper 20s. SW winds 5-15 with gusts to 25.

What a difference a week makes, right?And it isn’t going to be heading back up into the ridiculous high temperatures we just experienced, but it will get warmer than today. Chilly yet today, no question about it. Looking like a lot of 50s and 40s next week. Not bad. Not 70 degrees by any means, but not bad.

At least this Leap Year February, giving us an extra day, isn’t quite as bad a deal as most years. Although what we’d really like is an extra day in June or July maybe, our February extra day is usually a disaster. At any rate, we’ll be into March by tomorrow and March Could Be Nice. Hoping this one coming up will be just that.

Currently 27 with an average wind from the NW of 11 mph. Feels like 12 degrees. Dew Point 20, Barometer 29.57, Humidity 80%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:21 am, Sunset 6:30 pm.

Windy. 70% chance of snow showers possibly mixed with freezing rain until midday. Snow showers in the afternoon. Snow accumulation 1″ or less. High in the lower 30s. NW winds 20-30 mph with gusts to 40.

Partly cloudy with a 20% chance of snow showers in the evening. Low 15-20. NW winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 30.

No big storms in my area last night. Except for a few rumbles of thunder around midnight, nothing. Evidently some rain, but nothing heavy. Very windy this morning and it sounds as if it’s going to continue all day long. No snow showing up here yet, but the possibility is definitely there. The sun will come back out starting tomorrow and the temperatures will begin to rise. This quick moving cold front is already moving on to the East. Just a little reminder that this is, after all, February. Been a different one this year, that’s for sure.

Currently 57 with a 5 mph wind from the SW. Feels like 57 degrees. Dew Point 53, Barometer 29.42, Humidity 74%, Visibility 10 mi.,Sunrise 7:22 am, Sunset 6:29 pm.

Partly sunny today. High in the upper 60s. S winds 5-15 mph with gusts to around 30.

100% chance of rain showers and thunderstorms in the evening then rain possibly mixed with snow showers overnight. Low in the mid 20s. SW winds 5-15 becoming SW 10-15 with gusts to 30.

Our strange weather continues. Could see 70 degrees today and tomorrow we’ll be in the 30s with the chance of snow. Never fear, our temperatures will begin an upward march the day after that, so the snow won’t last long. Long enough to remind us of what February in Michigan should look like – an appearance most of us are thrilled that hasn’t been the case this year. Anyway, look forward to a nice weekend with sunshine. Nothing like variety.

Currently 43 with a SE wind of 6 mph. Feels like 36 degrees. Dew Point 27, Barometer 29.89, Humidity 62%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:24 am, Sunset 6:28 pm.

Sunny today with a high in the upper 50s. E winds 10-15 mph becoming SE 15-20 in the afternoon.

Partly cloudy with a 50% chance of rain showers and a slight chance for a thunderstorm overnight. Low in the upper 40s. S winds 15-20 with gusts to 35.

This really is interesting weather. We could see upper 60s, maybe if Mother Nature tries hard enough 70, tomorrow. We’ll get rain and then a thump of a drop in the temperature back into the 30s with the chance of snow by Wednesday. This if not any February in Michigan that I can ever remember, but I’m rather enjoying the variety of weather with all the ups and downs as they come along. Won’t enjoy the snow on Wednesday, but the temperature will once again rise so we will get rid of it quickly. That’s the only sort of snow I am comfortable with. A day’s worth and then gone….

Currently 25 with a 4 mph wind from the SE. Feels like 19 degrees. Dew Point 7, Barometer 30.06, Humidity 49%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:27 am, Sunset 6:25 pm.

Sunny with a high in the lower 30s. NE winds 5-10 mph becoming S in the afternoon.

Partly cloudy with a low in the mid 30s. NE winds 5-10 mph increasing to 10-15 with gusts to 30 overnight.

Keep looking for ups and downs in our temperatures. Some 50s some 30s. Perhaps some snow around  next midweek. This continues to be an interesting and unusual month of February.

Currently 34 with a 3 mph wind from the SSE. Feels like 28 degrees. Dew Point 32, Barometer 29.64, Humidity 79%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:29 am, Sunset 6:24.

Partly sunny with a 20% chance of afternoon snow showers. High in the lower 40s. N winds 5-15 mph.

Mostly cloudy with a 20% chance of evening snow showers then becoming mostly clear overnight. Low 15-20. N winds 5-15 mph.

Not bad, this small chance of snow showers. Look for more about midweek coming up – Wednesday or Thursday. Our temperatures, for the most past, are going to stay relatively high. Tomorrow will see a dip back into the 30s, and those dips and dives will continue to show up now and again for a while. Roller coaster numbers, which at least shouldn’t sneak up on us, as the weather stations are fairly accurate at letting us know when they highs and lows are coming for us. So far, a strange month of February. Let’s watch it play out and see what happens with the rest of it.  Watch for a full moon on the 24 – The Snow Moon – and get ready for a little less sleep. Research appears to indicate we don’t sleep as well during a full moon. Oh well…some folks, like me, don’t sleep well at any time, so nothing unusual for us :>)

Currently 34 with a calm wind from the SSE. Feels like 30 degrees. Dew Point 34, Barometer 29.75,  Humidity 97%, Visibility 7 mi., Sunrise 7:30 am, Sunset 6:23 pm.

Mostly cloudy until about midday with a 20% chance of rain showers then becoming mostly sunny in the afternoon. High in the lower 50s. NE winds 5 mph becoming N in the afternoon.

Mostly clear with an overnight temperature around 30. Light winds becoming NW 5-10 mph.

February continues to pretend like it’s March, or even on some days, April. This is perfectly acceptable to most of us and we’re willing to go along with it. Except for a few notable events, this year’s month of February has been extraordinary. Makes you wonder, doesn’t it, what that portends for our Spring? My fingers are crossed that it just keeps on keeping on, getting nicer and warmer as it goes along. No backsliding. I reckon we’ll see how it goes as it goes.

Currently 45 with a 5 mph wind from the SSW. Feels like 39 degrees. Dew Point 32, Barometer 29.96, Humidity 52%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:32 am, Sunset 6:22 pm.

Partly sunny with a chance of overnight sprinkles until midday. High in the mid 50s. SW winds 10-20 mph with gusts to 30.

Partly cloudy becoming mostly cloudy with a low in the lower 30s. W winds around 10 mph in the evening becoming light.

A fair chance of some rain tonight and tomorrow and then a few days of our temperatures dipping back into the 30s. Never fear – they’re gong to be back up in the comfortable zone quickly. Weather conditions continue to be out of the norm for a Michigan February. Hopefully, March will remain with the program and be nice ’cause….are you ready? March Could Be Nice. Maybe this year it actually will be.

Currently 30 with a 4 mph wind from the SSW. Feels like 23 degrees. Dew Point 27, Barometer 30.22, Humidity 61%, Visibility 8 mi., Sunrise 7:33  am, Sunset 6:20 pm.

Sunny with a high in the upper 40s. S winds 5-15 mph.

Partly cloudy tonight with a low in the mid 30s. S winds 10-15 mph.

Going to have some decent temperatures here in Michigan for this year’s month of February.  50 degree range – that’s not our usual run of the mill February weather. Look for a dip in the numbers about Friday and Saturday, but then it rebounds. In fact, this roller coaster affair with our temperatures appears to be our routine. Not bad at all considering what it could be this time of year. Just doesn’t appear to be any snow in our forecast for the foreseeable future. Let’s hope that stays true.

Not just us enjoying what appears to be an early spring. The Cherry Blossoms are blooming in Japan already. Even there things are ahead of schedule. Nothing quite that flamboyant here, but we’re doing our best.
