Saturday, March 29, 2025-SW Michigan-Light Rain Expected Today

Currently 64 with a 5 mph average wind from the SSW. Feels like 64 degrees. Dew Point 54, Barometer 29.86, Humidity 67%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:30 am, Sunset 8:05 pm.

70% chance of rain showers today with the best chance in the afternoon. High in the mid 60s. SW winds 5-15 mph with gusts to 25.

90% chance of overnight rain. Low in the upper 40s. SE winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 20 in the evening.

Heard some thunder yesterday and it’s been so long since I have, I hardly recognized what I was hearing for a second there. More chance for that sound over the next couple of days. April 1 is still looking to make an entrance with a showing of some sunshine. Sure sounds encouraging. In the meantime, Monday ending March looks to be a potential mess. Chilly, rain, perhaps a snow flake or two. A proper ending for a disappointing month.

Friday, March 28, 2025-SW Michigan-Rain Today

Currently 52 with an average wind from the SE of 2 mph. Feels like 52 degrees. Dew Point 46, Barometer 29.94, Humidity 98%, Visibility 2.9 mi., Sunrise 7:32 am, Sunset 8:03 pm.

Raining this morning. A light rain so far but there is the possibility for a thunderstorm to put in an appearance. Frankly, I’m looking forward to some thunder and lightening for a change instead of watching snow fall. Looks like April may come in with a bit of sunshine but don’t get too excited ’cause we’ll all right back in to some rain right after. At least the temperature numbers are set to be higher. And it’s about time for that, too. Expecting some great things from April ’cause March was pretty much a total letdown. We’ll see soon because it’s surprising how quickly it’s approaching.

Thursday, March 27 2025-SW Michigan-Enjoy Today’s Sunshine

Currently 41 with an average wind from the SSW of 3 mph. Feels like 39 degrees, Dew Point 31, Barometer 30.15, Humidity 56%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:33 am, Sunset 8:02 pm.

Mostly sunny becoming partly sunny with a 20% chance of some rain. High around 50. W winds 5-15 mph with gusts to 30.

Partly cloudy in the evening becoming mostly cloudy with a low in the upper 30s. Light winds becoming E 5-10 mph overnight.

Bright and sunny skies out there this morning will be changing by tomorrow. Rain will move in through Sunday with slight chances of a thunderstorm or two. Look for the chance of snow with temperatures right back in the 30s on Monday. March is determined to go out on a low note. I’d like to say that would be the last of our 30 degree temperatures and I’m hopeful that’s so, but we know how things can go astray in a hurry weather-wise. For now that’s the picture for the next 4 days. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that things will greatly improve after that.

Wednesday, March 26, 2025-SW Michigan-Sunshine But No Warmth

Wednesday, March 26, 2025-SW Michigan-Sunshine But No Warmth

Currently 30 with an average wind from the WNW of 4 mph. Feels like 30 degrees. Dew Point 24, Barometer 30.2, Humidity 78%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:35 am, Sunset 8:01 pm.

Sunny with a high in the mid 40s. Light winds becoming W 5-10 in the afternoon.

Partly cloudy with an overnight low around 30. Light winds becoming SW 5-10 mph.

Still looking for sunshine through tomorrow with rain following Friday through Sunday. Monday is still looking colder with a chance for some snow showers to put in an appearance. Nothing is changing and nothing is encouragingly looking much like spring. Such is life…

Tuesday, march 25, 2025-SW Michigan-Several Days Of Sunshine For Us

Tuesday, march 25, 2025-SW Michigan-Several Days Of Sunshine For Us

Currently 30 with an average wind of 6 mph from the SW. Feels like 27 degrees. Dew Point 26, Barometer 29.94, Humidity 74%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:37 am, Sunset 8:00 pm.

Mostly sunny with a high in the lower 40s. NW winds 5-15 mph with gusts to around 25.

Mostly clear with a low in the mid 20s. NW winds around 10 mph.

Wow – look for some sunshine today, tomorrow…Thursday. Unfortunately that will end on Friday with rain, which will then be with us through Sunday. Until Monday when the bottom falls out and we’re once again back into winter. We just can’t seem to win here. March seems destined to go out with cold temperatures and a wintry mix. Sounds charming doesn’t it?  April is promising better starting out the first day at least 10 degrees warmer. That’s something, I guess. Chalk up this month of March as a loser in the spring game. Better luck next year, I suppose, is the only way to look at it.

Monday, March 24, 2025-SW Michigan-Unwanted Snow Falling

Monday, March 24, 2025-SW Michigan-Unwanted Snow Falling

Currently 30 with a SSW wind of 8 mph. Feels like 21 degrees. Dew Point 31, Barometer 29.61, Humidity 100%, Visibility 3 mi. Sunrise 7:39 am, Sunset 7:59 pm.

70% chance of snow showers. High in the upper 30s. W winds 15-25 mph with gusts to 35.

Partly cloudy with an overnight low in the lower 20s. W winds 5-15 mph with gusts to 25.

A fine snow falling out there and it looks like it could keep on doing so all day long. No warm up in view and frankly, it looks as if we’ll be ending March and beginning April in the 40 degrees. Things could change between now and then but that’s the picture being shown for now. Could even see another bit of snow next week. Someone dipped our winter in Velcro and unhappily it’s sticking to everything. Personally, after going out to feed the birds and critters this morning – I’m done with the great outdoors for the day. Not even going to be looking out the windows because I simply do not want to see this weather. Seen enough of it.

Sunday, March 23, 2025-SW Michigan-Chance For More Snow

Sunday, March 23, 2025-SW Michigan-Chance For More Snow

Currently 30 with an average wind of 4 mph from the ESE. Feels like 25, Dew Point 19, Barometer 30, Humidity 59%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:40 am, Sunset 7:58 pm.

Partly sunny with a 100% chance of afternoon rain. high in the upper 40s. SE winds 10-20 mph with gusts to 30.

Windy. 100% chance of overnight rain possibly mixed with snow. Low in the lower 30s. S winds 15-20 mph becoming W 20-25 mph with gusts to 40.

Winter refused to let go and leave. We are likely to get some snow overnight and again tomorrow. This winter seems relentless. Let’s pretend that we don’t see any more snow after tomorrow, shall we? I’ve given up on the month of March and have now set my sights on April for bringing us some real spring weather. We could see upper 50s, even 60s as April rolls in, but for now? Not a chance. We’ll  be lucky to be in the 40 degree range for the remainder of March. One month of our three month spring season is a bust…let’s hope the other two come through for us.

Saturday, March 22 2025-SW Michigan-Cold Weather Sticks With Us

Saturday, March 22 2025-SW Michigan-Cold Weather Sticks With Us

Currently 32 with an average wind from the WNW of 10 mph. Feels like 27 degrees, Dew Point 19, Barometer 29.91, Humidity 63%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:42 am, Sunset 7:57 pm.

Mostly sunny today with a high in the mid 30s. NW winds 5-15 mph.

Mostly clear with a low in the lower 20s. Light winds becoming SE 10 mph with gusts to 20.

Today is a good case of how bright sunshine can be deceiving and provide precious little warmth. Nice and bright but not anywhere near warm. We don’t have to waste too much time looking for warm days for the rest of this disappointing month of March. Once April gets here we could be seeing some 50 degrees again. Maybe 60. But between then and now, give up on this being one of those March Could Be Nice Months. Alas…not this year. Our hopes are now pinned on April…and next year for March to prove itself worthy.

Friday, March 21 2025-SW Michigan-No Big Warm Up In Sight

Friday, March 21 2025-SW Michigan-No Big Warm Up In Sight

Currently 34 with an average wind from the S of 7 mph. Feels like 28 degrees. Dew Point 24, Barometer 29.87, Humidity 64%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:44 am, Sunset 7:55 pm.

Mostly sunny until about midday then becoming partly sunny. High in the lower 50s. SW winds 10-20 mph with gusts to 45.

70% chance of overnight rain with a slight chance of snow mixed in. Low in the mid 20s. SW winds 10-15 mph becoming NW with gusts to 30.

Might see some sunshine now and again but don’t expect any big temperature rises until well into the month of April. And snow seems determined to show up now and then in spite of our having had enough of it. Let’s face it, March is not going to go down as a lovely spring month.  Far from it. It’s destined to be known as merely an extension of a long winter. And again, that in spite of the fact that we’ve had enough of that season, too.  Expect some sunshine showing up tomorrow but cold in the 30s. And Sunday appears to be yet another chilly wet one. Alas…

Thursday, March 20, 2025-SW Michigan- Un-Springlike Weather

Thursday, March 20, 2025-SW Michigan- Un-Springlike Weather

Currently 34 with an average wind from the WNW of 8 mph. Feels like 27 degrees. Dew Point 31, Barometer 29.59, Humidity 100%, Visibility 1 mi., Sunrise 7:46 am, Sunset 7:54 pm.

Patchy morning fog. Snow showers mixed with rain showers until about midday then clearing. High around 40. NW winds 15-20 mph with gusts to around 40.

Mostly clear with an overnight low in the upper 20s. W winds 5-10 mph becoming SW with gusts to 25.

Look for a little warmth tomorrow but don’t bother searching for any in the following week or so. We simply will not be getting it. Temperatures in the 30s and 40ss seem to be the best we will be able to do. With mixed precipitation from time to time. This is NOT a nice spring nor does it appear to be in any hurry to  become one. Keep bundled up and hope for better weather down the line somewhere.

Feeling very sorry for those Robins and returning birds who left the south to head up to what they thought would be livable weather. Wrong! I hope they can find some way to keep warm and alive because Mother Nature sure doesn’t look to be in any rush to be helpful.
