Last night’s wind was sometimes rather fierce. Thought my wind chimes might blow right off the side of the building. This sort of wind and the coming rains will be instrumental in knocking the color right out of our trees. Tonight sounds like some areas might get a solid frost with temperatures down to 30. Seasonal changes are coming on fast.

Sounds like nothing drastic coming up. Our days will all be in the 40s and 50s, our nights will be dipping into the 30s. Throw in some rain now and then and that’s the picture we’re looking at. Nothing bad, just fall-like.

It’s a pretty day. Not going to be very warm but bright. At least until it clouds up and perhaps brings us rain. Tonight sounds like it will be chilly and messy. Frost, rain, t-storms, hail? Sounds like one of those miserable Autumn days offering a hint of what the next season brings. Not that we especially need any reminders.

Well, today’s not much, but we’ll take it. Do we have a choice? No. No we do not. The good news is that I’m hearing  the possibility of a warmer than usual winter is taking shape. Except perhaps for December, which is usually a cold month anyway but everyone’s usually so busy they hardly notice it. Will be interesting to see how close reality comes to this hypothesis. The only thing we know for sure is the weather we’ve got today – which is rather blah and unremarkable.

Nary a hint of sunshine today with a fair chance of rain tonight. Along with some wind. There goes a lot of the colorful leaves. Good thing we had lots of lovely days to keep in memory and pictures. Sooner or later they’ll all be down on the ground so hopefully we’ll have plenty more days of leaf peeping ahead before things so drab.

Currently 57 with an average wind from the SW of 3 mph. Feels like 57 degrees. Dew Point 49, Barometer 30.03, Humidity 74%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:54 am, Sunset 7:02 pm.

A nice day. Plenty of sunshine even though it is on the cool side. The coming week looks to be about like this with a tiny chance of rain each day. Not much of a chance, but it’s out there. We just know it’s going to stay cool from now on. Until it no longer is cool – just flat out cold.

Currently 56 with an average wind from the SE of 5 mph. Feels like 56 degrees. Dew Point 55, Barometer 29.81, Humidity 99%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:53, Sunset 7:03 pm.

Yesterday fluctuated from cloudy and chilly to mostly sunny and pleasant. This coming week appears to be another version on a longer scale. We’ll get some 60 degrees with sun, some 50s with rain and end up in the upper 40s with who knows what. This is not gong to be a stellar week weatherwise.  Was good to get out and about yesterday for tons of colorful pictures. When those opportunities present themselves in Michigan, you take them. Hard to tell when the wind and rain will sweep in and knock everything pretty loose from the trees. Yesterday was perfect. Today is dull.

Currently 48 with an average wind from the ESE of 6 mph. Feels like 44 degrees. Dew Point 46, Barometer 30.05, Humidity 92%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:52 am, Sunset 7:05 pm.

Partly cloudy overnight with a low around 50. E winds 5 -10 mph with gusts to 20.

Our brilliantly sunny, very comfortable temperatures seem to be waning. By the end of next week we’ll be looking at a high in the upper 40s. If I had my druthers, we’d definitely hover around in what we’ve had this past week.  Upper 60s, lower 70s. Very nice to be out and about in. Alas…seasons don’t offer you what you want, they give you what they have in store for you.

Currently 67 with an average wind from the W of 6 mph. Feels like 67 degrees. Dew Point 61, Barometer 29.83, Humidity 81%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:50 am, Sunset 7:07 pm.

Partly cloudy. Low in the mid 40s. NE winds 5 -10 mph becoming E with gusts to 20 mph.

Yesterday and last night was rather windy and as a result the ground is fairly thick with the litter of leaves. Very colorful but the beginning of leaf rake duty in the near future. Not a chore I particularly look forward to, but one necessary to address at some point before the ground becomes littered with snow rather than leaves. It not coming just yet, but it’s out there. A regular seasonal threat from Mother Nature. The longer it holds off the better, but we never know for sure when our luck runs out. Hence the reason why when we start having to rake leaves we more or less keep at it. Alas….

Currently 48 with an average wind from the SSE of 3 mph. Feels like 48 degrees. Dew Point 39, Barometer 30.05, Humidity 75%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:49 am, Sunset 7:03 pm.

Sunny with a high in the mid 70s. S winds 5 – 15 becoming SW 15-20 with gusts to around 30.

Partly cloudy tonight with a low in the lower 60s. SW winds 10 -15 mph with gusts to 30.

This week is absolutely wonderful here in SW Michigan. Plenty of sunshine, very comfortable temperatures and as we well know, temporary. By the end of next week we’ll be down in the high of 50 days again with downright nippy nights. In the meantime, this is SO appreciated. Everyone out taking pictures of the color – which is stunning this year. Mother Nature is being kind.
