Monday, April 8, 2024-SW Michigan-Lovely Day For An Eclipse
Currently 52 with a 5 mph wind from the S. Feels like 52 degrees. Dew Point 41, Barometer 29.89, Humidity 64%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:11 am, Sunset 8:17 pm.
Sunny today with a high in the upper 60s. S winds 10-15 mph becoming SW 15-20 with gusts to 30.
Partly cloudy with a 30% chance of overnight rain showers. Low in the upper 40s. S winds 5-10 mph.
Frankly, living in Michigan, this is about as good a forecast for an eclipse as can be hoped for. We may, if the sky continues as is for the duration, get a splendid view of the total eclipse. Throughout Michigan there is anywhere from an 89 – 96% view possible. With the total eclipse due about 3:11 this afternoon. That is extraordinary. Just remember, either be wearing the approved special glasses or simply do not look at it. Your eyesight is the most important part of this event.
Look for some rain Thursday and Friday but the weekend is looking grand. We seem to have turned the corner and are heading in to real spring now. At last.
