Monday, Feb. 19, 2024-SW Michigan-Cold Sunshine

Currently 23 with a SSE wind of 3 mph. Feels like 16 degrees. Dew Point 21, Barometer 30.18, Humidity 70%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:34 am, Sunset 6:18 pm.

Partly sunny until midday then becoming mostly sunny. High around 40. S 10 mph. winds becoming SW in the afternoon.

Partly cloudy with a low in the mid 20s. Light winds.

Bright and sunny out there this morning but no question but that it’s chilly. Went out to feed the critters this morning and it felt like…well, February. We could build up to a 50 degree day on Thursday but then it takes a nosedive back into the 30s over the weekend. Still, this is not bad at all for a Michigan February. Long as we can see some sun shining, it feels fine. Cold or not.

Sunday, Feb. 18, 2024-SW Michigan-Going To Warm Up

Currently 32 with a 10 mph wind from the WNW. Feels like 19 degrees. Dew Point 23, Barometer 29.72, Humidity 80%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:35 am, Sunset 6:17 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a high in the lower 30s. W winds 15-20 mph with gusts to 30.

Partly cloudy with an overnight low in the lower 20s. NW winds around 10 mph in the evening becoming light.

Well, not real quick, but it is going to be warming up. We’ll be seeing some 40 degree days, maybe even 50s very soon. Getting some rain rather than snow. It all sounds good to me. Except for a few exceptions, February, this year, hasn’t been all that bad. May that continue to the end and then March be even better.

Saturday, Feb. 17, 2024-SW Michigan-Cold Weekend For Us

Going to be nippy today and tomorrow but we can look forward to some 40 degree days next week. Might even see a glimpse of the sun now and then. As of now, nothing harsh in our future, which sounds fine to me.

Friday, Feb. 16, 2024-SW Michigan-Snow Hanging Around For A While

Friday, Feb. 16, 2024-SW Michigan-Snow Hanging Around For A While

Currently 27 with a 4 mph wind from the WSW. Feels like 21 degrees. Dew Point 17, Barometer 30.11, Humidity 71%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:38 am, Sunset 6:14 pm.

Cloudy. High around 30. NW winds 5-15 mph.

Partly cloudy with a 50% chance of snow showers. Low 15-20/ MW winds 5-15.

Chilly enough to keep our snow ground cover in place for a while. Should warm up a bit next week, but don’t be looking for any 70 degrees. Do look for some snow showers perhaps overnight. Maybe Saturday night.

Thursday, Feb. 15, 2024-SW Michigan-Just Like That Winter’s Back

Thursday, Feb. 15, 2024-SW Michigan-Just Like That Winter’s Back

Morning snow showers that should taper off in the afternoon remaining cloudy with increasing winds. High 36. WNW winds 10-20 mph increasing to 20-30 mph with higher gusts possible.

Some overnight clouds. Low 21. WNW winds 10-20 mph.

Winter Weather Advisory in effect until Thursday 11:00 am.

Although the weather channels all seem to be calling for a few inches of snow, I woke up to 5 1/2″ in my backyard and it’s still snowing. Take it from me, having shoveled a path out to where I scatter critter food, it’s a heavy, wet snow. Not fun at all.  Look for a bit more possible Friday and Saturday night. And then again about this same time next week look for more of a winter mess. February has become more true to form than it’s been. Alas….

Wednesday, Feb. 14, 2024-SW Michigan-Looking For Some Overnight Snow

Wednesday, Feb. 14, 2024-SW Michigan-Looking For Some Overnight Snow

Currently 30 with an average wind of 3 mph from the SSW. Feels like 27 degrees. Dew Point 22, Barometer 30.25, Humidity 68%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:41 am, Sunset 6:11 pm.

Mostly sunny with a high in the upper 30s. SW winds about 10 mph.

Partly cloudy with an 80% chance of overnight precipitation. A mix of rain and snow. Some sleet or freezing rain to start then snow. 1-2″ possible. Low in the lower 30s. S winds 10 – 20 mph.

Not bad today but getting messy overnight. Look for snow tomorrow, too. Again Friday night through Saturday probably. A break in the mess for a few days and then mid or late next week another round of it. Michigan February weather coming home to roost. Dang it.

Tuesday, Feb. 13, 2023-SW Michigan-Chilly Now With Snow Possible Before Weekend

Tuesday, Feb. 13, 2023-SW Michigan-Chilly Now With Snow Possible Before Weekend

Currently 32 with a 6 mph wind from the ESE. Feels like 23 degrees. Dew Point 23, Barometer 29.94, Humidity 70%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:43 am, Sunset 6:10 pm.

Partly sunny with a high in the mid 30s. NW winds 10-15 mph.

Partly cloudy with a low in the lower 20s. NW winds 5-10 in the evening becoming light.

Definitely feeling like February now. And snow is also definitely in our picture. If not before, then look for it on Thursday. Maybe some on Friday and Saturday, too. We are now presented with the real February as opposed to the pretend version we had earlier. I much prefer the earlier version, but then again I have very little say so in what weather we get.

Bright and welcome sunshine today. Look for perhaps a bit on Tuesday and Wednesday. On Thursday, however, be prepared for some snow. And cooler temperatures. Alas…the real February is stepping forward.

Sunday, Feb. 11, 2024-SW Michigan-Mostly Clouds For Us Today

Sunday, Feb. 11, 2024-SW Michigan-Mostly Clouds For Us Today

Partly cloudy with a low in the lower 20s. NW winds 5-10 becoming SW overnight.

We might see a bit of sunshine the next couple of days, but by the end of the week, it’s going to look and feel more like February winter weather. Frozen mix, snow showers…the usual mess that February is willing and able to toss our way. Today, no precipitation, but no sunshine, either.

Saturday, Feb. 10, 2023-SW Michigan-Cooling Off

Currently 37 with a 13 mph wind from the WNW. Feels like 30 degrees. Dew Point 27, Barometer 29.92, Humidity 68%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:47 am, Sunset 6:06 pm.

Mostly cloudy. High near 38. W winds 10-20 mph with gusts to 25.

Partly cloudy with a low 27. WNW winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 20 in the evening becoming light.

Well, goodbye to our 50 degree days. Heading back to February reality now. In fact, be looking for some frozen mix, perhaps some snow showers by the end of next week. We could see a bit of sunshine now and then before that, but no comfortably warm days for a while. It was a lovely ride though while it lasted.
