Tuesday, May 7, 2024-SW Michigan-Chilly With Rain Expected Later Today

Tuesday, May 7, 2024-SW Michigan-Chilly With Rain Expected Later Today

Currently 64 with an average wind from the SE of 6 mph. Feels like 64 degrees. Dew Point 43, Barometer 29.73, Humidity 50%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:27 am, Sunset 8:51 pm.

There is a marginal risk for severe weather today.

90% chance of rain showers and a thunderstorm. High in the upper 60s. SE winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 30.

Partly cloudy with a 50% chance of overnight showers and thunderstorms Low in the lower 50s. SW winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 20.

Not a very comfortable day going on for us today. Chilly. Which means very likely the severe weather forecast for south of us won’t be much of a bother here abouts. Usually when we get severe stuff it’s hot, humid, with a cold front moving in. Feels very much as if that cold front has already arrived. Not appreciating a week as cool as this one in the month of May. Since I’m not exactly in charge of the controls, we’re stuck with this. But not happy about it.  In any case, watch for some storms to move in later today, early tonight.

Monday, May 6, 2024-SW Michigan-Sun Today, Rain Tomorrow

Monday, May 6, 2024-SW Michigan-Sun Today, Rain Tomorrow

Currently 61 with an average wind from the E of 6 mph. Feels like 61 degrees. Dew Point 45, Barometer 30.06, Humidity 62%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:28 am, Sunset 8:49 pm.

Partly sunny becoming mostly sunny. High in the lower 70s. E winds 19-15 mph.

Mostly clear overnight with a low in the mid 40s. E winds 5-15 mph.

Nicely sunny today but watch for some rain tomorrow. In fact, if it holds together as predicted, we should continue with a sunny, rainy day alternation for a while. And next week – yeah, I know, it’s a week away – we should be back in the 70 degrees after a week of mostly 60 degrees. Warmth is on the horizon – hopefully.

Sunday, May 5, 2024-SW Michigan-So, Where Is Our Hot Weather

Sunday, May 5, 2024-SW Michigan-So, Where Is Our Hot Weather

Currently 59 with a NE wind of 5 mph. Feels like 59 degrees. Dew Point 48, Barometer 30.02, Humidity 86%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:30 am, Sunset 8:48 pm.

Partly cloudy until midday then clearing. High around 70. N winds 5-15 mph.

Mostly clear with a low in the mid 40s. N winds around 10 mph becoming E overnight.

I don’t know. The weather know-alls and be-alls are knocking themselves out telling us how sweltering hot we’re supposed to be – or at least are going to be. Not exactly sure what they’re looking at, but from here all I see is cool weather ahead – and looking back, one of the most disappointingly chilly springs ever. I realize not everyone is happy with hot weather, but I know I sure am and I’m just not seeing it happen anytime soon around here.  Looking at the next week I’m seeing some rain, clouds, minimal sunshine, and cool temperatures. Not exactly fitting in with the weather gurus predictions so far. Not even close.

Saturday, May 4, 2024-SW Michigan-Nothing But Clouds So Far

Saturday, May 4, 2024-SW Michigan-Nothing But Clouds So Far

Currently 64 with an ESE wind of 6 mph. Feels like 64 degrees. Dew Point 58, Barometer 30.02, Humidity 89%, Visibility 5 mi. Sunrise 6:31 am, Sunset 8:47 pm.

Partly sunny. Patchy fog until midday. High in the upper 70s. E winds around 10 mph becoming SE.

60% chance of rain with a slight chance of a thunderstorm. Low in the mid 50s. S winds 5-10 mph becoming W overnight.

So – where is the sunshine? We were promised sunshine – well, maybe not exactly promised but strongly encouraged to expect it. Silly to put any stock in the weather forecast, right? Way too often things go awry. Like our missing morning sunshine today. Alas…At any rate, except for some rain tonight, no weekend rain. At least that’s what we’re told. Tomorrow is expected to be partly sunny – and dry. Sunshine for Monday, too. But then seeing rain coming our way for the next 4 days after that. In other words, look for a mostly wet week ahead.

Friday, May 3, 2024-SW Michigan-Rainy Start To Our Friday

Friday, May 3, 2024-SW Michigan-Rainy Start To Our Friday

Currently 64 with an average wind from the S of 3 mph. Feels like 64 degrees. Dew Point 61, Barometer 29.94, Humidity 100%, Visibility 7 mi., Sunrise 6:32 am, Sunset 8:46 pm.,

80% chance of rain with a chance for a thunderstorm until midday. High in the low 70s. W winds 5-10 mph becoming NW in the afternoon.

Partly cloudy overnight. Low around 50. NE winds 5-10 mph.

The rain should clear out later today and won’t revisit until about Tuesday. Still looking like a dry weekend. Watch for some pretty hot temperatures to be with us tomorrow. In fact, we could see an 80 degree day. Sunday won’t be that warm though. And in fact, after about next Wednesday, we will drop back down into the 60 degree range for the week. For those of us longing for warmth, it won’t be all that welcome but nothing to be done about it but wait it out. Which we are good at with all the practice we’ve had.

Thursday, May 2, 2024-SW Michigan-Rain Maybe Later Today And Overnight

Thursday, May 2, 2024-SW Michigan-Rain Maybe Later Today And Overnight

Currently 63 with an ESE wind of 7 mph. Feels like 63 degrees. Dew Point 47, Barometer 30.02, Humidity 58%, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 6:34 am, Sunset 8:45 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a 40% chance of afternoon rain. There is a very slight chance of some severe weather later on. High in the mid 70s. SE winds 5-15 mph with gusts to 20 in the afternoon.

70% chance of rain and thunderstorms overnight. Low in the upper 50s. SE winds 5-15 mph with gusts to 20 in the evening.

Our sunshine may vanish later on this afternoon when some rain could move in to replace it. Good chance for rain overnight and tomorrow but the weekend is still looking good. Some very nice warm temperatures are going to be with us until about next week Thursday when they’ll take a bit of a tumble. We could even see an 80 degree scattered in there. Sound fine to me. Bring it on. I’m more than ready for the warmth.

Wednesday, May 1, 2024-SW Michigan-70 Degrees For A While

Wednesday, May 1, 2024-SW Michigan-70 Degrees For A While

Currently 68 with a WSW wind of 6 mph. Feels like 68 degrees. Dew Point 55, Barometer 29.8, Humidity 60%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:35 am, Sunset 8:44 pm.

Partly cloudy with a low in the mid 40s. W winds 5-10 mph with gusts to around 20 in the evening becoming light

Looks a bit like we’ll be dropping back into the 60s next week, so enjoy our 70 degree days as we get them. As of now, it looks as if the weekend will be bringing sunshine – maybe no rain. That would be a treat. After that appears to be days of sun, days of rain, mixing it up.

Tuesday, April 30, 2024-SW Michigan-April Leaving Sunny And Cool

Tuesday, April 30, 2024-SW Michigan-April Leaving Sunny And Cool

Currently 54 with a 6 mph wind from the WSW. Feels like 54 degrees. Dew Point 44, Barometer 29.91, Humidity 67%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:36 am, Sunset 8:43 pm.

Sunny. High in the mid 60s. W winds 10-20 mph.

Partly cloudy with a low in the lower 50s. Light winds becoming SE 5-10 mph with gusts to 20 overnight.

Not overly warm today but bright and sunny. Tomorrow promises to bring us more sunshine before the 3 days after that will come with rain. So far, Sunday is still looking good. Fingers crossed. And we should be seeing a whole lot more 70 degree days this coming week. No promise that we’ll stay that warm but at least this next week will be good.

Monday, April 29, 2024-SW Michigan-Rain Today Sun Tomorrow

Monday, April 29, 2024-SW Michigan-Rain Today Sun Tomorrow

A rainy day today but none in the forecast, for now, showing up for tomorrow. A couple of sunny days, Monday and Tuesday. Rain returns for several days after that but as of this moment, Sunday is looking good. Fingers crossed it stays that way.

Sunday, April 28, 2024-SW Michigan-A Rather Dismal Sunday

Sunday, April 28, 2024-SW Michigan-A Rather Dismal Sunday

Currently 66 with an average wind from the SW of 1 mph. Feels like 66 degrees. Dew Point 63, Barometer 29.98, Humidity 92%, Visibility 8 mi., Sunrise 6:39 am, Sunset 8:40 pm.

70% chance of rain showers with a chance for some thunderstorms Low in the upper 50s. E winds 5-15 mph.

Light off and on rain so far today. Look for more rain tomorrow followed by a couple days of sunshine – followed by another couple days of rain. At least we have an interesting pattern going on. Frankly, I’m loving this warmth creeping in, even if it is accompanied by some humidity. I have no problem with that. Upstairs windows open all night long? I wait for this all winter long. Happy me.
