Murphy's Weather

Currently 72 with a 3 mph wind from the W. Feels like 72 degrees. Dew Point 50, Humidity 47%, Barometer 29.93, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:13 am, Sunset 9:04 pm.

Mostly sunny today with a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms developing. High in the mid 80s. SW winds 5-10 mph becoming E in the afternoon with gusts to 30 mph.

60% chance of overnight showers and thunderstorms. Low in the lower 60s. SW winds 10-15 mph becoming W 5-10 mph.

We may, for now, be on the outside line of the severe weather sweeping along, but it would pay to pay attention during today and tomorrow. I think especially after dark tomorrow. But don’t ignore the possibilities existing for today. Our chance for severe storms, high wind, hail, possible tornadoes is very real even if our number is low. Tomorrow may offer a greater threat, but today is worth keeping an eye on things, too. There are lines of storms moving to the north and east and, like I said, we could be on the outside portion of that, but don’t underestimate what could happen. Just be alert and prepared.

By Wednesday our temperature will have dropped a bit and it won’t be quite so warm, but the chance for rain could continue. So far, Thursday and Friday are looking fair with some sunshine. After that, seems as if the opportunity for rain is going to move back in for days.

Currently 75 with a 2 mph wind from the SSE. Feels like 75 degrees. Dew Point 59, Humidity 61%, Barometer 29.93, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:14 am, Sunset 9:03 pm.

Sunny. High in the lower 80s. NW winds 5-10 mph.

Partly cloudy with a low in the upper 50s tonight. N winds around 10 mph becoming E overnight.

A nice warm day today with sunshine galore.  Sounds like 80 degree days coming in for the next several, but with the chance of some rain coming along with it. Then we drop back in to the 70s which I’m sure will feel refreshing to most after a handful of days well into the 80s. It isn’t summer, but it’s feeling like it today.

Currently 70 with a 3 mph wind from the SSE. Feels like 70 degrees. Dew Point 59, Humidity 56%, Barometer 29.88, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 6:15 am, Sunset 9:02 pm.

Sunny today with a high in the lower 80s. Light winds becoming SW 5-10 mph in the afternoon.

Partly cloudy tonight with a low in the lower 60s. S winds around 5 mph.

What a glorious day for all of us who love the warm weather. Look for similar temperatures Sunday through Tuesday. Tomorrow will bring us more sunshine but Monday and Tuesday’s warmth will offer the possibility of thunderstorms to go along with. Fine summery weather all around. I’m loving it.

Currently 66 with an average wind from the NW of 1 mph. Feels like 66 degrees. Dew Point 61, Humidity 84%, Barometer 29.8, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:16 am, Sunset 9:01 pm.

Partly sunny until midday then clearing. High in the upper 70s. W winds 5-10 mph.

Mostly clear with patchy overnight fog. Low in the lower 50s. Light winds.

Much welcome sunshine moving in today and giving us a wonderful weekend. One of the best. Of course we then have to pay our dues with the following three days bringing rain. But that’s the way of things. Looks as if we’ll be well into the 80 degrees Saturday through Tuesday then by Wednesday the temperature starts to drop back down. Nothing drastic but the 70s and a few high 60s will seem cool in comparison to what’s coming over the next several days. Just be ready for the fluctuation.

Currently 59 with an average wind from the SSE of 4 mph. Feels like 59 degrees. Dew Point 44, Humidity 53%, Barometer 29.86, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:17 am, Sunset 9:00 pm.

70% chance of overnight rain showers with a possible thunderstorm. ow in the upper 50s. Light winds.

A small chance of some rain showing up on Friday, but look for a totally delightful weekend coming up. Sunshine and 80 degrees. Wow! Could not ask for better. In fact, the 80 degrees may linger on into Monday and Tuesday but then it’s accompanied by the chance of some rain. In other words, enjoy this weekend and get out and about if you can. It’s the sort of weekend we’ve been waiting for.

Currently 61 with an average wind from the ENE of 7 mph. Feels like 61 degrees. Dew Point 42, Humidity 52%, Barometer 29.85, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:18 am, Sunset 8:59 pm.

Mostly clear with a low in the mid 40s. E winds around 10 mph with gusts to 25 in the evening

Fairly cloudy early this morning but clearing to sunshine in the afternoon. Look for the chance for a bit of rain perhaps tomorrow and Friday, but as of now, our weekend is looking good. Plenty of sunshine should be ours. Let’s hope this forecast holds and that’s what we end up with. Would be nice to have an entire weekend full of welcome weather.

Currently 57 with an average wind from the E of 6 mph. Feels like 57 degrees. Dew Point 49, Barometer 29.84, Humidity 84%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:19 am, Sunset 8:58 pm.

Perhaps some rain today but look for sunshine tomorrow, maybe Friday. Also, we may only be in the 60s today but thankfully we’ll be back in to the 70s starting tomorrow. Warmer is nicer. The rain word starts to appear back in the forecast by Saturday and seems determined to linger around most of the coming week. Not necessarily a huge percent each day, but the chance for some seems to be there.

Hard to believe but the smoke situation from Canadian wildfires has risen its ugly head already this year. It’s been reported that there are already over 100  wildfires burning in Canada – many of them ‘out of control’. This is a bad thought for air quality for many of our states. I personally have to wonder what it is about Canada that it seems to be a country on fire with what seems to be a total lack of organization in control. What ever, it portends bad air for us before the season even gets going. Learning to live with this doesn’t seem like the best idea but obviously one that needs to be paid attention to.

Currently 72 with an average wind from the W of 7 mph. Feels like 72 degrees. Dew Point 51, Barometer 29.77, Humidity 46%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:20 am, Sunset 8:57 pm.

80% chance of rain and thunderstorms. Low in the lower 50s. NW winds around 10 becoming NW overnight.

Had a couple of nice overnight thunderstorms last night. A great sound for some of us. I’m one. Look for the possibility of a bit of sunshine on Wednesday. That could be is for the week. We could see an 80 degree day next Sunday. I know I’ve heard all about how hot we’re going to be but those 80 degree days so far have been few and far between. My fingers are crossed for Sunday.

Currently 46 with a SSW wind of 1 mph. Feels like 46 degrees. Dew Point 45, Barometer 29.89, Humidity 77%, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 6:21 am, Sunset 8:56 pm.

Could not really ask for better weather for Mother’s Day in our area. We are lucky compared to many others unfortunately having to cope with much heavier, unhappy weather. Hopefully you will be able to get out and about to enjoy this sunshine because as of now, the only other day coming up this entire week seems to be Wednesday. We all know how quickly things can change weather-wise, but that’s the picture for now.

Currently 52 with a 7 mph wind from the W. Feels like 52 degrees. Dew Point 46, Barometer 29.66, Humidity 90%, Visibility 9 mi, Sunrise 6:22 am, Sunset 8:55 pm

Mostly clear tonight with a low around 40. NW wind 5-10 mph with gusts to 25 in the evening becoming light.

Sort of a misty rain outside right now which I’m told will clear away at some point. We may even see a glimpse of sun later today. And if the sky stays clear overnight, there is a chance we could see some of the northern lights. Worth a try to catch them. We don’t get that opportunity all that often here in SW Michigan. Looking like Mother’s Day is going to bring us delightful weather. Finger crossed. Next week could sunshine Tuesday and Wednesday but as of now, the rest of the week is looking decidedly damp. Time will tell.
