Saturday, May 31, 2025-SW Michigan-Pleasant But Chilly Weekend

Saturday, May 31, 2025-SW Michigan-Pleasant But Chilly Weekend

Currently 52 with an average wind from the WNW of 5 mph. Feels like 52 degrees. Dew Point 41, Barometer 29.78, Humidity 60%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:06  am, Sunset 9:13 pm.

Sunny today with a high in the mid 60s. N winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 25.

Clear. Low in the upper 30s. NW winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 25 in the evening.

Not warming up much yet but it’s coming. The beginning of the week is looking warmer. At least a couple of days in the 80s but then right back into the 70s. So the month of June isn’t really coming in overly warm. What is coming in is evidently smoke that Canada is generously sharing with us from wildfires. Watch for air quality to be on the poor side for a bit. Other than that, sunshine with some rain still on scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday of the coming week.

Friday, May 30, 2025-SW Michigan-Nice Weekend Coming Up

Currently 68 with an average wind from the SW of 3 mph. Feels like 68 degrees. Dew Point 52, Barometer 29.75, Humidity 53%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:07 am, Sunset 9:13 pm.

Mostly sunny thru early afternoon becoming partly sunny with a 40% chance of a shower or a thunderstorm. High in the lower 70s. W winds 5-15 mph with gusts to 25.

Mostly cloudy with a low in the mid 40s. NW winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 20 in the evening.

So, except for the chance of some rain later today, nothing is showing up until about next Wednesday and Thursday. Not overly warm yet this weekend, but not as chilly as we have been dealing with in the near past. Still a chance for a couple of 80 degree days the beginning of next week. Thing is, those 80 degree days keep showing up in print, but don’t quite seem to materialize in reality. I guess we’ll see how it goes. As usual.

Thursday, May 29, 2025-SW Michigan-Slight Chance Of More Rain Today

Currently 57 with an average wind from the SW of 4 mph. Feels like 57 degrees. Dew Point 54, Barometer 30.01, Humidity 84%, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 6:08 am, Sunset 9:12 pm.

Party cloudy tonight with a low in the upper 40s W winds around 10 mph.

Could see another rain drop or two later today but after that, doesn’t look like any precipitation expected until about next Wednesday. And we can expect to see some 80 degree days the beginning of next week. Won’t stay that warm, but several days will be welcome anyway. Should be a comfortable weekend.  A little cool on Saturday, only in the 60s, but 70s for Sunday. Not a bad handful of days coming our way.

80% chance of rain. High in the mid 60s. E winds 5-15 mph with gusts to 25.

No great warm up yet, but it’s coming. Next week some time we could be looking at a few 80 degree days. For now, looking at rain today and this evening. Maybe even again on Friday. As of now the weekend isn’t overly warm but at least it’s supposed to come in dry. Good enough.

Tuesday, May 27, 2025-SW Michigan-Cool But Dry Today

Currently 63 with an average wind from the ENE of 3 mph. Feels like 63 degrees. Dew Point 47, Barometer 30.23, Humidity 50%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:09 am, Sunset 9:10 pm.

Partly cloudy with a 20% chance of overnight rain. Low in the lower 50s. E winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 25.

Not bad weather. Still not overly warm but it is what it is. Doesn’t look now like we’ll be seeing any 80 degrees days until a few days in to June. Look for some rain tomorrow but it does appear as if dry days will follow along for a week or so after that. Can’t believe the month of May is almost finished and we still haven’t leveled off into some steady warm weather. Still hoping for that to happen. Sooner or later. Or not. :<(

Sunny. High  around 70 degrees. E winds 5-10 mph.

What a lovely morning this is weather-wise. Could not ask for better, I don’t think. The sun is shining with a clear blue sky, little to no wind blowing. This is perfect. Look for more clouds tomorrow and the Wednesday through Friday cooler temperatures with some rain mentioned every day. However…as of now next weekend is looking absolutely splendid. Fingers crossed that stays true, but so far, warm and sunny is the picture.

Please take some time today to remember and honor all of those who gave their all for us and our nation. We owe them a debt we can’t repay except for giving thanks for them and taking as good a care as possible for this land they died for.

Ridiculously cold yet tonight but it does sound as if things will gradually warm up. In fact, it does appear as if the month of June could usher in with some 80 degree days. Sure looking forward to that. For now, no rain until probably Wednesday and Thursday of the coming week. Other than that, the rest of the days will offer us some sunshine. Sounding better and better.

Looks like no rain to mar the Memorial Day weekend here. Not overly warm, but sunshine should keep things bright. Not looking for any rain now until around next Wednesday. And the plus is, our temperatures will gradually get back up to where they belong. All in all, not bad.

Currently 50 with an average wind from the WSW of 5 mph. Feels like 50 degrees. Dew Point 39, Barometer 29.99, Humidity 68%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:12 am, Sunset 9:06 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a high in the mid 50s. NW winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 25.

Partly cloudy with a low in the upper 30s. NW winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 20 in the evening.

Astonishing how chilly it is staying. Especially the night time hours. Saw a bunch of geese flying over the other day and I suspect they have decided to go back south. I wouldn’t blame them. I would if I could. Look for several dry days, which leaves our Memorial Day weekend rain-free, but don’t look for any big warm up. Some time next week we’ll see 70 degrees again, and at this point all we can do is hope that if and when we get a string of warm days we aren’t going to have to pay for it – again – with a patch of cold ones.

Partly cloudy with a low in the upper 30s. NW winds 5-15 mph with gusts to 25.

It is difficult to imagine that this cold weather is still sticking with us. And that it continues on until the beginning of next week. I have problems with even trying to tell you that next week we’ll be seeing 70 degree days. Perhaps even one that hits 80. Because frankly, I have trouble believing it myself. I’m trying – but obviously harder than Mother Nature is in bringing us any decent weather. Alas for spring…we are on the cusp of the beginning of summer and spring never actually did put in an appearance. As of now, look for dry weather coming our way. We should be finished with the rain for a while. Even that is tough to buy in to, isn’t it? But that’s what is being presented to us. We’ll see. I would dearly love to be able to put away winter clothes and turn off the heat. Again…we’ll see.
