Thursday, May 30, 2024-SW Michigan-Sunshine Today And Tomorrow

Thursday, May 30, 2024-SW Michigan-Sunshine Today And Tomorrow

Currently 63 with an average wind from the ESE of 4 mph. Feels like 63 degrees. Dew Point 35, Humidity 36%, Barometer 30.22, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:06 am, Sunset 9:13 pm

Sunny. high in the lower 70s. light winds.

Clear. Low in the mid 40s. Light winds.

Pleasant weather today and tomorrow. Probably some rain on Saturday but getting better again on Sunday. Hope you can take advantage of Sunday because the beginning of the next week looks to be rain for the most part. Seems as if June will be coming in on the wet side.

Wednesday, May 29, 2024-SW Michigan-Warm Starting Back Up Tomorrow

Wednesday, May 29, 2024-SW Michigan-Warm Starting Back Up Tomorrow

Currently 61 with a 1 mph wind from the SSE. Feels like 61 degrees. Dew Point 52, Humidity 65%, Barometer 30.07, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:07 am, Sunset 9:13 pm.

Partly sunny until midday becoming mostly sunny. High in the 60s. N winds 5-10 mph.

Mostly clear overnight with a low in the lower 40s. NE winds around 5 mph.

Still chilly today but some warmth may be returning starting tomorrow. Will be much more comfortable being in the 70s – and hopefully next week a handful of 80s. Our daytime temperatures yesterday and today are too low with the night time temps temping to have the heat turned back on. Not my idea of the end of May, heading into June numbers. At any rate, the weekend is still looking good. Perhaps some rain on Saturday, but that’s not for certain. At least no rain showing up for Sunday. Hurray for golfers :>)

Tuesday, May 28, 2024-SW Michigan-Sunshine Coming By Tomorrow

Tuesday, May 28, 2024-SW Michigan-Sunshine Coming By Tomorrow

Currently 59 with a 5 mph wind coming from the W. Feels like 59 degrees. Dew Point 55, Humidity 87%, Barometer 29.9, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:08 am, Sunset 9:12 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a 40% chance of rain with a slight chance for a thunderstorm. High in the upper 60s. W winds 5-15 mph.

Mostly cloudy overnight with a 50% chance of rain with a slight chance for a thunderstorm. Low around 50. N winds around 10 mph.

Once we get past this crummy day we should be on schedule for three or four days offering us some sunshine. Temperatures in the 70s. Looking past the coming weekend, as of now we’re seeing that many days of rain coming. Alas…some good, some bad. At least our bad isn’t as rough as what the south and east have been dealing with. We’ll gladly take what we get instead.

 

Monday, May 27, 2024-SW Michigan-Chilled Right Down

Monday, May 27, 2024-SW Michigan-Chilled Right Down

Currently 55 with a 5 mph wind from the S. Feels like 55 degrees. Dew Point 55, Humidity 97%, Barometer 29.5, Visibility 5 mi., Sunrise 6:08 am, Sunset 9:11 pm.

Cloudy with a 30% chance of rain. High in the lower 60s. W winds 10-20 mph with gusts to around 30.

Mostly cloudy with a 40% chance of overnight rain. Low in the lower 50s. W winds 5-15 mph with gusts to 30 decreasing to 20.

What a difference a day makes, right? It’s downright chilly out there today. This won’t, thankfully, last but it’s sure not happy news for all of those out camping this weekend. Betting a whole lot of folks will be packing up and heading home earlier than they had expected. We’ll be back in the 70s this coming week and by next Sunday we will likely see 80 degrees. Much more to my liking than this 50 degree stuff last evening’s storm line brought into play.

Sunday, May 26, 2024-SW Michigan-Beginning A Three Day Rain Event

Sunday, May 26, 2024-SW Michigan-Beginning A Three Day Rain Event

Currently 63 with an average wind of 5 mph from the ESE. Feels like 63 degrees. Dew Point 49, Humidity 59%, Barometer 29.83, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:09 am, Sunset 9:10 pm.

90% chance of showers and afternoon thunderstorms. There is a slight risk for severe weather. High in the upper 70s. SE winds 10-20 mph with gusts to 30.

80% chance of overnight rain and thunderstorms. Low in the upper 50s. SE winds around 10 mph becoming S with gusts to 30.

No rain this morning but it’s inevitable that it’s going to come around later today. With all the rain forecast for the next three days it’s definitely not thrilling for those with outdoor activities scheduled. The best we can do is be thankful we’re not dealing with the weather occurring in the southern states. At least we don’t have the torrential rains, hail and the almost certain threat of tornadoes racing across the south. Rain and some wind we can deal with. Not happily perhaps, but we can do it. We can pretty much always manage to move our Memorial Day celebrations indoors…at least our indoors will stay put for us, a it stands right now anyway.

While we’re coping with the unfortunate weather, I do hope we all take some time to give thought to what this holiday really means. And give thanks to all who gave their all in order for us to be free to have our holidays in freedom.

Saturday, May 26, 2024-SW Michigan-Temperature To Drop A Bit

Saturday, May 26, 2024-SW Michigan-Temperature To Drop A Bit

Currently 63 with a 6 mph wind from the NW. Feels like 63 degrees. Dew Point 53, Humidity 72%, Barometer 29.81, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:10 am, Sunset 9:09 pm.

Sunny. High in the lower 70s. NW winds 5-15 mph.

Partly cloudy with a low in the lower 50s. Light winds becoming E 10 mph.

The cold front that swept along with the rain system we recently experienced will not appreciatively drop us into the 60s probably until Monday. But then we’ll have two or three day in that range. Won’t last longer than that, but it is going to happen. In the meantime 70 degrees today and Sunday. Alas, Sunday will bring rain and more on Monday. Not the best weather for a Memorial Day weekend. Wish I could report better. Can’t.

Friday, May 24, 2024-SW Michigan-Couple Days Of Sun, Couple With Rain

Friday, May 24, 2024-SW Michigan-Couple Days Of Sun, Couple With Rain

Currently 73 with an average wind from the SW of 2 mph. Feels like 73 degrees. Dew Point 44, Humidity 35%, Barometer 29.87, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:10 am, Sunset 9:08 pm.

Mostly sunny morning will becoming a party sunny afternoon. High in the lower 80s. SE winds 5-10 mph.

90% chance of overnight rain and thunderstorms. Low around 60. SE winds 10-15 mph becoming SW 5-15 mph.

The line of storms riding along ahead of a cold front, currently threatening Iowa and Illinois, will move through Michigan later this evening and overnight. There could be the chance for some severe weather coming with it. So just be aware and alert. In the meantime, enjoy the sunshine today and what we may get of it tomorrow. Unfortunately look for rain on Sunday and Monday. Just in time for all the cook-outs, of coure. I reckon the secret is simply to enjoy the weekend wet or dry with this kick-off of summer holiday.

Thursday, May 23, 2024-SW Michigan-A Cool But Pleasant Day

Thursday, May 23, 2024-SW Michigan-A Cool But Pleasant Day

Currently 68 with an average wind from the WSW of 3 mph. Feels like 68 degrees. Dew Point 49, Humidity 51%, Barometer 29.91, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:11 am, Sunset 9:07 pm.

Sunny. High in the upper 70s. W winds 5-15 mph.

Clear with an overnight low in the lower 50s. Light winds.

Not a bad day today, tomorrow and Saturday. Unfortunately, the Memorial Day Weekend looks to be a rain out. Not unusual for a Michigan holiday to have bad weather, but doesn’t make anyone happy, anyway. From here, it’s hard to tell just how rainy it’s going to be but the forecast doesn’t bode well. The rainfall varies from site to site. On one, Sunday looks to be dry until after 2:00 in the afternoon. That seems to be the only bright spot in the entire weekend forecast. And we all know how that can change. Frankly any outdoor activity could be iffy at best. Alas….

Wednesday, May 22, 2024-SW Michigan-Nice Today And Tomorrow

Wednesday, May 22, 2024-SW Michigan-Nice Today And Tomorrow

Currently 64 with an average wind from the WSW of 7 mph. Feels like 64 degrees. Dew Point 56, Humidity 67%, Barometer 29.69, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:12 am, Sunset 5:06 pm.

Party sunny with a high in the lower 70s. SW winds 15-20 with gusts to around 30.

Mostly clear. Low in the lower 50s. SW winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 25 in the evening.

No precipitation due today or tomorrow but likely some rain coming on Friday. Might be clear on Saturday but as of now Sunday and Monday could well bring us rain. A rainy Memorial Day weekend isn’t exactly what anyone wants, but hey….this is Michigan and any holiday has to be regarded as iffy when it comes to celebrating outdoors. Such is life I reckon.

Tuesday, May 21, 2024-SW Michigan-Foggy Morning Possible Storms Later

Tuesday, May 21, 2024-SW Michigan-Foggy Morning Possible Storms Later

Currently 63 with a 1 mph wind from the S. Feels like 63 degrees. Dew Point 60, Humidity 100%, Barometer 29.87, Visibility 0.58 mi., Sunrise 6:13 am, Sunset 9:05 pm.

Mostly sunny. Fog early. 20% chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms. High in the mid 80s. Light winds becoming S 5-10 mph with gusts to around 20.

Partly cloudy with a 70% chance of overnight showers and thunderstorms. Low in the mid 60s. S winds 10-15 mph with gusts to around 30.

An interesting bit of thunderstorms last evening with the chance of a repeat performance tonight. Temperatures still holding in the 80s area but that won’t last for long. Could end up with a few days dipping down in to the 60s, mostly 70s coming up. Unfortunately looks like a rainy Memorial Day weekend. Maybe or maybe not. Different ideas from various weather sites. For the most part looks like a rainy Sunday and Monday but I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. Umbrella handy just in case.  Or at least grill in to the carport.
