Monday, March 25, 2024-SW Michigan-Clouds Today Rain Tomorrow

Monday, March 25, 2024-SW Michigan-Clouds Today Rain Tomorrow

Currently 41 with an average wind of 5 mph from the SE. Feels like 34 degrees. Dew Point 27, Humidity 60%, Barometer 29.92, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:35 am, Sunset 8:01 pm.

Mostly cloudy today with a high around 60. SE winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 35.

100% chance of overnight rain showers. Low in the mid 40s. SE winds 15-25 mph with gusts to 35 increasing to 45.

Today should be dry, but not tonight and definitely not tomorrow. Might get a few thunderstorms tomorrow. Of course, this tumbles our Wednesday temperature back down into the 30 degree range.  40s and 50s the rest of the week though. Look for rain again on Saturday. Easter Sunday will be cool, but no rain predicted so far. We seem to be in this weather pattern that hasn’t much variance in it – well, except for that miserable snow storm last Friday – but the rest is a rinse and repeat pattern. Will be nice to see the end of it.  And since all things must end eventually, I’m thinking this might change for the better too. Some day.

Sunday, March 24, 2024-SW Michigan-Enjoy A Bit Of Sunshine Today

Sunday, March 24, 2024-SW Michigan-Enjoy A Bit Of Sunshine Today

Currently 34 with an average wind from the SE of 5 mph. Feels like 25 degrees. Dew Point 18, Humidity 54%, Barometer 30.26, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7;36 am, Sunset 8:00 pm.

Partly sunny in the morning becoming mostly cloudy with a 20% chance of snow showers. High in the lower 40s. SE winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 25.

Mostly cloudy overnight with a low around 30. SE winds 10-20 mph with gusts to 30.

Not a bad little morning. A bit chilly but with sunshine peeking through every so often, we’ll take it. Look for a couple of fairly warm days coming up, but with rain. That’s okay. Beats snow.

Saturday, March 23, 2034-SW Michigan-Hopefully Our Snow Is Done

Saturday, March 23, 2034-SW Michigan-Hopefully Our Snow Is Done

Currently 25 with a NE wind of 5 mph. Feels like 19 degrees. Dew Point 23, Humidity 89%, Barometer 30.27, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:38 am, Sunset 7:58 pm.

Mostly sunny with a high in the mid 30s. N winds 5-10 mph.

Partly cloudy. Low 15-20. N winds around 5 mph becoming E overnight.

It would appear that we’ve had the last of the big snows. Some sunshine today, not likely tomorrow and still chilly. Monday and Tuesday will be bringing us 50 degree temperatures but also rain. Expect a day or so dipping down into the 30s or 40s, but hopefully most of our numbers will be in the 50s…and eventually better than that.  We have had enough wintry weather, even though it waited late to come around, enough is enough.

Friday, March 22, 2024-SW Michigan-Winter Weather Advisory In Effect

Friday, March 22, 2024-SW Michigan-Winter Weather Advisory In Effect

Currently 28 with a SE wind of 1 mph. Feels like 19 degrees. Dew Point 26, Humidity 100%, Barometer 30.2, Visibility 0.84 mi., Sunrise 7:40 am, Sunset 7:57 pm.

Winter Weather Advisory in effect until Saturday 12 am. Up to 7″ of snow possible.

100% chance of snow. Snowfall may be heavy at times. 3-6″ possible. High in the mid 30s. E winds 5-10 mph.

Mostly cloudy with a 50% chance of snow in the evening becoming partly cloudy. Low in the lower 20s. NE winds 5 mph becoming N.

It would appear we’re dealing with Winter Storm Ronnie. There is a Winter Storm Sawyer trailing behind, but fingers crossed not for our area. In the meantime, we could end up with 6 or 7″ of snow by the time this winds down. We actually never know here, because the brunt of storms usually slide to the south or north of us. For now, we’re getting snow. I haven’t noticed it being heavy so far, but of course that could change. Just be prepared and safe for whatever we do get.

Look for a bit of sunshine tomorrow and Sunday. It will be cold sunshine, but better than snow falling down on us. Be ready for that brief respite to slip right off into the possibility of a frozen mix Sunday night…and on and on it goes. Winter may have been reluctant to hang out with us when it should have, but here it is anyway, a late but persistent visitor. Like it or not.

Thursday, March 21, 2024-SW Michigan-Spring Snow Storm On The Way

Thursday, March 21, 2024-SW Michigan-Spring Snow Storm On The Way

Currently 21 with an ENE wind of 5 mph. Feels like 14 degrees. Dew Point 14, Humidity 66%, Barometer 30.32, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 7:42 am, Sunset 7:56 pm.

Mostly sunny today with a high in the mid 30s. NW winds around 10 mph.

Partly cloudy becoming mostly cloudy with an 80% chance of overnight snow. 1-2″ possible. Low in the lower 20s. Light winds becoming E 5-10 mph.

Enjoy the chilly sunshine today ’cause we sure won’t be having any tomorrow. Look for snow to develop tonight and linger on through tomorrow and probably tomorrow night.  Could end up with 5-6″ in all. Who knows? All we can do is hope this is the last spring snow storm for us this year. We could see some 50 degree days next week, but they will be scattered among lower numbers. We’ll get there – eventually. But for now we seem to have this faux winter to contend with. Color me not happy.

Wednesday, March 20, 2024-SW Michigan-Possible Snow Storm Coming This Week

Wednesday, March 20, 2024-SW Michigan-Possible Snow Storm Coming This Week

Currently 28 with a 10 mph wind from the NW. Feels like 16 degrees. Dew Point 20, Barometer 29.89, Humidity 91%, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 7:44 am, Sunset 7:55 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a 30% chance of snow showers. High in the lower 30s. NW winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 25.

Partly cloudy with a low 15-20 degrees. N winds 5-15 mph with gusts to 20 mph.

The March weather this year can’t get any crazier. Cold, snow…and it just keeps on keeping on. Possible peek at the sun tomorrow – possible – but still cold. And Friday? We could be in for a serious snow storm with inches of accumulation. This is just plain nuts. As of this moment, there is not one single positive thing to say about our current weather pattern. April can’t get here soon enough.

Tuesday, March 19, 2024-SW Michigan-Don’t Look For Weather Improvement

Tuesday, March 19, 2024-SW Michigan-Don’t Look For Weather Improvement

Currently 34 with a SSW wind of 11 mph. Feels like 23 degrees. Dew Point 24, Barometer 29.64, Humidity 72%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:45 am, Sunset 7:54 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a chance of snow flurries. High in the mid 40s. W winds 15-20 mph with gusts to 35.

Partly cloudy. Low in the mid 20s. NW winds 5-15 mph with gusts to 25.

No matter how hard I look or hope, I don’t see any improvement in this weather mess until after Easter. Seriously. This is about as good as it’s going to get. Chilly with occasional snow showers, frozen mix, etc. March is going to continue and depart on a forlorn note. Wish I had better weather news to pass on. Eventually. But not just now.

Monday, March 18, 2024-SW Michigan-No Spring Weather For Us

Monday, March 18, 2024-SW Michigan-No Spring Weather For Us

Currently 36 with a 15 mph wind from the WNW. Feels like 28 degrees. Dew Point 15, Barometer 29.96, Humidity48%, Visibility 1 mi., Sunrise 7:37 am, Sunset 7:42 pm.

70% chance of snow showers. High in the upper 30s. NW winds 10-15 mph.

60% chance of evening snow showers. Partly cloudy becoming mostly clear overnight. Low in the mid 20s. W winds 10-15 mph.

There is no sense pretending that this spring is going to go down in our books as a good one. It’s more or less going to be written up as a pretend month of February. We had our spring in February this year – more or less – and now we’re paying for it. We had that strange month of February pretending to be March. Now it’s a flip flop. And will continue to do so for a while. Not seeing any warmth or charm in our forecast for the foreseeable future. Wearing winter clothes is getting a tad tiresome. Alas…

Sunday, March 17, 2024-SW Michigan-Chilly Month Of March Continues

Sunday, March 17, 2024-SW Michigan-Chilly Month Of March Continues

Currently 46 with a 13 mph wind from the W. Feels like 39 degrees. Dew Point 27, Barometer 29.8, Humidity 50%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:39 am, Sunset 7:41 pm.

Partly sunny becoming partly cloudy. High in the upper40s. W winds 15-20 mph with gusts to 30.

Partly cloudy in the evening then clearing. Low in the upper 20s. NW winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 30 in the evening

Looking ahead I see nothing warming up or becoming spring-like in this month of March. Be prepared to be chilly and watch for rain/frozen mix/snow to be scattered there and there. We have to pin our hopes on April because the month of March has let us down this year. Not liking this. Not one bit.

Saturday, March 16, 2024-SW Michigan-March Not Being Nice This Year

Saturday, March 16, 2024-SW Michigan-March Not Being Nice This Year

Currently 41 with a 4 mph wind from the SSE. Feels like 34 degrees. Dew Point 38, Barometer 29.76, Humidity 96%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:51 am, Sunset 7:50 pm.

Partly cloudy with a 40% chance of rain showers. High in the lower 50s. W winds 15-25 mph with gusts to 35.

Partly cloudy with a 20% chance of rain showers then mostly cloudy with a slight chance of snow showers. Low in the lower 30s. W winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 30.

Don’t bother to be looking for pleasant weather for a while. Not this weekend and most certainly not this coming week. Sooner or later things will change and nice weather will return, but it doesn’t seem to be in any big hurry to do that. Temperatures in the 30s? This isn’t the March that I think of as nice. Not this year. Alas…my hopes are now pinned on April.
