Friday, Sept. 20, 2024-SW Michigan-Slight Chance For Severe Weather Later

Friday, Sept. 20, 2024-SW Michigan-Slight Chance For Severe Weather Later

Currently 72 with an average wind from the SE of 1 mph. Feels like 72 degrees. Dew Point 60, Barometer 29.83, Humidity 75%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:28 am, Sunset 7;42 pm.

Partly sunny with a chance of showers and thunderstorms until midday then 70% chance the rest of the day. There is a slight chance some of the thunderstorms could be severe. High in the lower 80s. S winds 5-10 mph becoming SW with gusts to 20 in the afternoon.

Partly cloudy overnight with a low around 60. Light winds.

Our warm weather continues for the next few days as the Jet Stream is wandering around to the north of us, allowing the southern heat to flood into our area. This will change after Sunday as that Jet Stream will decide to take a dip leaving us to the north of it, putting a stop to the 80 degrees. A rather strong rain system is going to travel through our area today and then another one arrives about Sunday and that one will remain with us very likely through Tuesday. Saturday seems, as of now, to be the best day of this particular weekend.

Thursday, Sept. 19, 2024-SW Michigan-Warm And Dry Today

Thursday, Sept. 19, 2024-SW Michigan-Warm And Dry Today

Currently 68 with a 1 mph wind from the S. Feels like 68 degrees. Dew Point 60, Barometer 29.99, Humidity 56%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:27 am, Sunset 7:43 pm.

Sunny with a high in the mid 80s. Light winds.

Partly cloudy with a low in the lower 60s.Light winds becoming SE 5-10 mph overnight.

Looking for the chance for some rain tomorrow then again Sunday through Wednesday. We do need the precipitation, been quite dry longer than is safe. Too many dry leaves falling and sitting there ready to fuel for those  careless enough to be building campfires all over the place. A bit of rain to dampen things down is a good thing. In this case it will be putting an end to our 80 degree days and bringing in 70s for the week. Looking forward to it all.

Wednesday, Sept. 18, 2024-SW Michigan-Warm Until Next Week

Wednesday, Sept. 18, 2024-SW Michigan-Warm Until Next Week

Mostly clear with a low in th mid 50s. Light winds.

Not much change in anything weather-wise, until the beginning of next week. Looking for a bit of rain and a dip in the temperatures into the 70s. By the end of next week, we could even see some 60 degrees. Big difference between what we’ve had and what we could get in a week.

Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2024-SW Michigan-Heat To Hang Around Through Weekend

Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2024-SW Michigan-Heat To Hang Around Through Weekend

Currently 61 with an average wind from the E of 5 mph. Feels like 61 degrees. Dew Point 57, Barometer 30.16 Humidity 75%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:25 am, Sunset 7:47 pm.

Sunny with a high in the lower 80s. E winds around 5 mph.

Clear with an overnight low in the mid 50s. Light winds.

Don’t be looking for any cool down for the next few days. Should stay warm right on through the weekend. Next week appears to be bringing us more comfortable days, temperatures in the 70s.  It might be that our hot days will be finished for the season after that. More fall-like numbers will make make plenty of people who have been suffering along in the heat mighty happy.  Bits of color beginning to show up here and there. Not much yet but we’ll be getting there soon enough.

Monday, Sept. 16, 2024-SW Michigan-Warm And Sunny Days Continue

Monday, Sept. 16, 2024-SW Michigan-Warm And Sunny Days Continue

Currently 64 with an average wind from the ESE of 1 mph. Feels like 59, Dew Point 59, Barometer 30.22, Humidity 70%, Visibility 10 mi. Sunrise 7:24 am, Sunset 7:49 pm.

Sunny. High in the upper 80s.  Light winds becoming E 5-10 mph in the afternoon.

Mostly clear with a low in the mid 50s. SE winds around 10 mph.

This coming week promises to stay well in the 80s with plenty of sunshine beating down on us. This could be the last week of solid 80s. I guess we’ll see, but right now it seems like it could be. Some rain coming in next week around Tuesday. Other than that, nothing much of change to report.

Sunday, Sept. 15, 2024-SW Michigan-Another Hot One

Sunday, Sept. 15, 2024-SW Michigan-Another Hot One

Currently 66 with an average wind from the SSE of 1 mph. Feels like 66 degrees. Dew Point 61, Humidity 75%, Barometer 30.22, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:20 am, Sunset 7:51 pm.

Sunny with a high in the upper 80s, SE winds 5-10 mph.

Mostly clear tonight. Low in the upper 50s. SE around 10 mph.

Another hot day, in fact, I think we could see 90 degrees today. Pretty close anyway. Still seeing no rain coming this next week, in fact by the time we do get any we’re going to really be in need of precipitation around here. Plenty of small dry brown leaves down already.  Traces of color is starting to show up here and there but nothing serious yet. It’s all coming eventually.  We do have to get through another fairly warm week before any cool down arrives and even then it doesn’t look all that drastic a drop. Anything will be an improvement at this stage. I believe most everyone is now ready for a bit of crispness to make an appearance in our air. Even me, I guess. I’m not exactly eager but willing, at this stage, to entertain the idea of it.

Nary a could to be seen this morning in the sky. Our 80 degree temperatures are scheduled to continue through the next week. No precipitation showing up so far. A mild, comfortable week of mid-September weather is ours to enjoy.

Friday, Sept. 13, 2024-SW Michigan-Next Week To Stay Warm

Friday, Sept. 13, 2024-SW Michigan-Next Week To Stay Warm

Currently 64 with an ESE wind of 5 mph. Feels like 66 degrees. Dew Point 61, Humidity 77%, Barometer 30.17, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:20 am, Sunset 7:54 pm.

Sunny today with a high in the mid 80s. E winds 5-15 mph.

Partly cloudy tonight with a low in the upper 50s. E winds 5-10 mph.

Don’t look for any cool down coming anytime quick. Looks as if next week is going to stay summer-like, too.  Sooner or later this is bound to change but for now it looks to be later rather than sooner. Temperatures well into the 80s are expected. No rain in the forecast now, that seems to have been removed. Things move fast, so that could change but that’s what we’re seeing now.

Thursday, Sept. 12, 2024-SW Michigan-Warm Temperatures To Hang Around

Thursday, Sept. 12, 2024-SW Michigan-Warm Temperatures To Hang Around

Currently 72 with a 2 mph wind from the SSE. Feels like 72 degrees. Dew Point 59, Humidity 65%, Barometer 30.16, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:19 am, Sunset 7:56 pm.

Sunny with  a high in the upper 80s. Light winds becoming SE 5-10 mph in the afternoon.

Partly cloudy with a high in the upper 50s. E winds 5-10 mph.

As of right now it seems as if the rain has been either removed or greatly diminished from our forecast. But the high temperatures remain. Some sites are putting them very high. I would say look for upper 80s for at least a few days, but 80s of some sort pretty much through the next week. Summer is hanging on. Good for some of us, not so much for those anxious for crisp cool fall weather. Those folks are going to have to wait a bit for that to happen. We all know it will, but not right now it won’t.

Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2024-SW Michigan-Another Lovely Day

Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2024-SW Michigan-Another Lovely Day

Currently 68 with an average wind from the WSW of 3 mph. Feels like 68 degrees. Dew Point 52, Humidity 49%, Barometer 30.14, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:18 am, Sunset 7:58 pm.

Mostly sunny. High in the mid 80s. SW winds around 10 mph.

Mostly clear overnight with a low in the upper 50s. Light winds.

Sure can’t find fault with this wonderful weather. Looks to be continuing right on until possible rain on Sunday. Right now that possibility is slight, so that could end up giving us another dandy weekend. Today, tomorrow, should be our warmest days but the comfortable temperatures appear to be hanging on through next week. A nice month of September so far.
