Tuesday, Dec. 31, 2024-SW Michigan-Likely Some Snow Today Through Tomorrow

Tuesday, Dec. 31, 2024-SW Michigan-Likely Some Snow Today Through Tomorrow

Currently 34 with an average wind from the ENE of 5 mph. Feels like 28 degrees. Dew Point 34, Barometer 29.64, Humidity 100%, Visibility 6 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:18 pm.

90% chance of rain/snow showers. High in the mid 30s. NE winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 25.

Cloudy with a 50% chance of overnight snow showers. Low in the lower 30s. NW winds 5-15 mph.

Very possible we’ll see some snow overnight and on in to tomorrow. Perhaps nothing after that until Sunday. But our temperatures will be dropping considerable. Cold from the Polar blast of winter will be moving through here and staying with us well into January. If you’re going to be out and about for New Year’s tonight, do keep an eye on the weather and the road conditions. Better yet, don’t drive. Then you have no problems.

In the meantime, have a Happy New Year. May the weather this coming year to accommodating for everyone – no matter how you want it to fall out.

Monday, Dec. 30, 2024-SW Michigan-Nice Now But…

Monday, Dec. 30, 2024-SW Michigan-Nice Now But…

Currently 37 with an average wind from the SSW of 4 mph. Feels like 34 degrees. Dew Point 38, Barometer 29.72, Humidity 98%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:17 pm.

Partly sunny with a high in the lower 40s. W winds 10-15 mph with gusts to around 30.

Mostly cloudy with 20% chance of freezing rain and snow showers. Low in the lower 30s. Light winds becoming E 5-10 with gusts to 20.

Pleasant temperatures are with us now but don’t look for them to hang around. We’ll be getting some snow probably Tuesday and Wednesday, but the bigger story is the Polar Vortex on it’s way for the beginning of 2025. We could be getting some serious snow over the weekend – the story on exactly where that snow will be falling isn’t set in cement right now – but for sure we’ll be getting wind and very cold temperatures right on through to the middle of January. Winter will descend on us with a vengeance as January takes over. So enjoy today’s warmth – such as it is. It will be gone before we know it.

Sunday, Dec. 29, 2024-SW Michigan-Rainy Sunday For Us

Sunday, Dec. 29, 2024-SW Michigan-Rainy Sunday For Us

Currently 43 with an average wind from the SE of 8 mph. Feels like 39 degrees. Dew Point 41, Barometer 29.68, Humidity 100%, Visibility 2.9 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:16 pm.

100% chance of rain. High in the mid 40s. NE winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 30.

100% chance of overnight rain. Low in the mid 30s. NW winds 10-20 mph with gusts to 30.

A chilly rain out there this morning and I suspect it will last most of the day and through the night. Look for a break in the precipitation tomorrow with perhaps a peek at the sun. If that happens, I’d take advantage of it ’cause it doesn’t look much like any sunshine for a whole lot of days after that. In fact, beyond clouds, appears as if snow is going to visit at least every other day. We’ll see. But I’m betting  January is going to prove to be very much different from what our December has been.

Saturday, Dec. 28, 2024-SW Michigan-Expect Rain Today And Tomorrow

Saturday, Dec. 28, 2024-SW Michigan-Expect Rain Today And Tomorrow

Currently 48 with an average wind from the SSW of 6 mph. Feels like 45 degrees. Dew Point 47, Barometer 29.87, Humidity 100%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:16 pm.

Cloudy with a 40% chance of showers. High around 50. SW winds 10-20 mph with gusts to 30.

Mostly cloudy with a 50% chance of overnight rain. Low in the mid 30s. SW winds around 10 mph becoming light.

We are experiencing rather warm temperatures that are not going to last too much longer. Rain rather than snow and that won’t last too much longer either. Look for a bit of sunshine on Monday but then the precip returns. The New Year will be ushering in our regular stuff – snow. After the 1st I don’t believe we’ll be seeing any more warmth or rain. I’m rather confident we’re going to be heading back into wintry weather.

Friday Dec 27, 2024-SW Michigan-Expect Some Rain Today And Tonight

Friday Dec 27, 2024-SW Michigan-Expect Some Rain Today And Tonight

Currently 39 with an average wind from the SE of 3 mph. Feels like. Dew Point 37, Dew Point 39, Barometer 30.04, Humidity 100%, Visibility 5 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:15 pm.

100% chance of overnight rain. Low in the lower 40s. SE winds 10-15 mph becoming S during the night.

Rain today and probably right on through to Monday. As of now, and we all know how that can change, Monday appears to be about the only precipitation free day. Things will dip winterish after that with our temperatures due to descend into the colder numbers beginning the New Year. Our rain will, of course, be replaced with snow. Enjoy these 40 degree days ’cause looks like they are numbered and who knows when they will return again?

There is a small chance of rain today and tonight but a better chance tomorrow through Sunday. Monday may give us a break in precipitation but it comes right back on Tuesday. Next week the precipitation will likely transition over to snow. This was our break in the weather to make getting out and about over the Christmas holiday. Not so sure about New Year’s. Could end up with some snow for New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. I guess we’ll find out eventually.

Wednesday, Dec. 25, 2024-SW Michigan-Cloudy Christmas Weather

Currently 32 with an average wind from the NNE of 1 mph. Feels like 32 degrees. Dew Point 25, Barometer 30.38, Humidity 78%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:12 am, Sunset 5:13 pm.

Going to be dry today which will help with all the holiday traveling. Tonight might be a different matter.  There is a slight chance for some freezing drizzle. Tomorrow might only be cloudy but there is the opportunity for some rain. Definitely rain over the weekend, from Friday through Sunday. Our temperatures are going to be very comfortable way on to about the end of next week where they will start to tumble into a more wintry range.

Hope your Christmas weather is the best it can be. Merry Christmas one and all.

Tuesday, Dec. 24, 2024-SW Michigan-Cloudy Christmas Eve Day Weather

Tuesday, Dec. 24, 2024-SW Michigan-Cloudy Christmas Eve Day Weather

Currently 32 with a calm wind from the NNE. Feels like 32 degrees. Dew Point 27, Barometer 30.31, Humidity 82%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:12 am, Sunset 5:13 pm

Mostly cloudy with a high in the lower 30s. Light winds.

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

No precipitation expected today or tomorrow – in fact we could even see a peek of the sun on Christmas Day. Look for rain after that from Friday through the weekend – but with very comfortable temperatures. Quite a break in what could be Michigan Christmas weather. No white Christmas unless you count the left over snow – nothing new coming. At any rate, the roads shouldn’t be dreadful for all those last minute shoppers out and about today – or for those traveling to Christmas gatherings tomorrow.

Monday, Dec. 23, 2024-SW Michigan-Could Get Messy Weather

Monday, Dec. 23, 2024-SW Michigan-Could Get Messy Weather

Currently 30 with an average wind from the SSE of 3 mph. Feels like 25 degrees. Dew Point 26, Barometer 30.08, Humidity  80%, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 8:11 am, Sunset 5:12 pm.

90% chance of freezing rain with snow mixed. Maybe sleet. In other words a mess. High in the mid 30s.S winds 5-15 mph.

Mostly cloudy with a 50% chance of freezing rain and snow in the evening. Low in the upper 20s. W winds around 10 mph in the evening becoming light.

Right now, the last time I was outside, there is a very fine mist in the air. Not constantly, just off and on. Something is up but I guess we have to wait and see what it turns in to. Couldn’t be at a worse time with everyone out and about tending to last minute tasks. If you must be out there, do keep an eye on the weather and be cautious. Our temperature – after Christmas will gradually rise up until we’re in the 40s again for a few days – before it crashes again right after the first of the year. Seems to be one of those up and down winters.

 

Sunday, Dec. 22, 2024-SW Michigan-Bitter Cold Today, Wintry Mix Tomorrow

Sunday, Dec. 22, 2024-SW Michigan-Bitter Cold Today, Wintry Mix Tomorrow

Currently 18 with an average wind from the E of 2 mph. Feels like 18 degrees. Dew Point 13, Barometer 30.41, Humidity 91%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:11 am, Sunset 5;12 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a 20% chance of overnight snow showers. Low in the lower 20s. S winds 5-10 mph.

This has been one cold weekend! Tomorrow won’t be as cold but could jolly well bring us a mess on the roads. There is a chance of snow/rain/wintry mix…whatever Mother Nature decides to dump on us. The weather is looking dry after that, but we could be dealing with Monday’s mess for a while. It all depends on what we get. These days before Christmas are always super busy with people out and about shopping, so hopefully things won’t be too bad to start it all off. We’ll see how it goes.
