Sunday, Feb. 4, 2024-SW Michigan-Brilliant Sunshine But Still Cold

Sunday, Feb. 4, 2024-SW Michigan-Brilliant Sunshine But Still Cold

Currently 37 with a 3 mph wind from the ENE. Feels like 32 degrees. Dew Point 32, Barometer 30.11, Humidity 78%, Visibility 8 mi., Sunrise 7:54 am, Sunset 5:58 pm.

Mostly sunny today. High around 40. NE winds 5 mph.

Partly cloudy. Patchy overnight fog. Low in the mid 20s. NE winds around 5 mph.

It’s beautiful out there but looks a lot warmer than it is. Still feels mighty chilly. Hard to argue with the tiny hint of buds starting to show up in some of the trees, but I’m thinking they might be just a tad hasty. In spite of what the groundhog had to say. Yes – an early spring – but I’m fairly certain we’ll be in line for a bit more winter. This morning’s sunshine is more than welcome. And we may see a little more of it over the next few days, but then it seems to be back into the clouds. Perhaps some rain about the end of next week. No question that we’re all ready to see more sunshine come our way. January was one gloomy month. Heading in the right direction, that’s a plus.

Saturday, Feb. 3, 2024-SW Michigan-Clouds and Fog This Morning

Saturday, Feb. 3, 2024-SW Michigan-Clouds and Fog This Morning

Currently 28 with a 3 mph wind from the E. Feels like 23 degrees. Dew Point 24, Barometer 30.21, Humidity 100%, Visibility 0.99 mi., Sunrise 7:55 am, Sunset 5:57 pm.

Mostly cloudy with morning fog becoming partly cloudy. High in the lower 40s. E winds around 10 mph.

Partly cloudy. Low in the mid 20s. Light winds.

Another rather gloomy day beginning for us. At least it’s not cold. Or snowing. Nothing spectacular coming along our way – which is a good thing. At this time of year big events could be unpleasant to say the least. We have a decent week coming up. 40 degrees…30 degrees…some rain. That seems to be the assortment dealt to us for the next week. Again, not bad.

Friday, Feb. 2, 2024-SW Michigan-Early Spring Predicted

Friday, Feb. 2, 2024-SW Michigan-Early Spring Predicted

Currently 34 with a 6 mph wind from the E. Feels like 25 degrees. Dew Point 28, Barometer 30.16, Humidity 87%, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 7:56 am, Sunset 5:56 pm.

Mostly cloudy until midday becoming mostly sunny. High in the upper 30s. E winds 5-10 mph.

Partly cloudy overnight. Low in the mid 20s. E winds around 5 mph.

So, the little rodent has proclaimed an early spring for us. Usually the little fur ball sticks with the tried and trued formula and announces 6 more weeks of winter. This time he’s trying to get with the program. Even without him guiding us along, we can look around – at least in my area – and see winter is fighting a loosing battle. Not that there won’t be a few more skirmishes along the way, but for the most part, spring is going to win this war. This is me, cheering it along. The less winter, the better.

Thursday, Feb. 1, 2024-SW Michigan-February Starting Out Mild

Thursday, Feb. 1, 2024-SW Michigan-February Starting Out Mild

Currently 41 with a 3 mph wind from the WSW. Feels like 34 degrees. Dew Point 37, Barometer 29.89, Humidity 93%, Visibility 7 mi., Sunrise 7:57 am, Sunset 5:55 pm.

Cloudy with a high in the mid 40s. W winds 5-15 mph becoming NW in the afternoon.

Mostly cloudy. Low in the upper 20s. N winds 5-10 mph.

There is no way to complain about the weather on this first day of February. With a little effort one could almost imagine winter has flown the coop. Not so fast, there, hopeful one. I’m almost certain it will rear its ugly head sometime in February to remind us that it’s still around. On the plus side, however, a saw a small V of geese flying overhead going north this morning. Were they a tad hasty? A wee bit fool hearty? Or do they know something we don’t? No answer here, but I can tell you the sight and sound of them was welcome to me.

Wednesday, Jan. 31, 2024-SW Michigan- Cloudy End To January

Wednesday, Jan. 31, 2024-SW Michigan- Cloudy End To January

Currently 39 with a 3 mph from the W. Feels like 34 degrees. Dew Point 37, Barometer 30.09, Humidity 98%, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 7:58 am, Sunset 5:53 pm.

Cloudy. Patchy fog until around midday. High near 40. SW winds around 10 mph with gusts to 20 increasing to 15-20 with gusts to 30.

Partly cloudy with a 20% chance of rain. Areas of fog. Low in the mid 30s. SW winds 10-20 mph with gusts to 30.

No sunshine today, but moderate temperatures for the end of January. And it does look as if we’ll be seeing 40 degrees with some sunshine soon as the month of February comes around. It is looking like at least the first half of February will be mild. Perhaps the second half could bring us back to some winter reality, but maybe not. I guess we’ll see how it goes as it goes along. So far, so good.

Tuesday, Jan. 30, 2024-SW Michigan-Another Gray Day

Tuesday, Jan. 30, 2024-SW Michigan-Another Gray Day

Currently 36 with a 5 mph wind from the WNW. Feels like 30 degrees. Dew Point 34, Barometer 29.86, Humidity 100%, Visibility 4 mi., Sunrise 7:59 am, Sunset 5:52 pm.

Cloudy with a 30% chance of rain and snow showers. Patchy fog. High in the upper 30s. S winds 5-10 mph becoming light in the afternoon.

Cloudy with overnight patchy fog. Low in the lower 30s. Light winds.

Once we get past today with the chance of precipitation, the forecast has us staying dry for the next week. With our temperatures rapidly getting into the 40 degree range. Sounds like a comfortable, uneventful week in store. We couldn’t ask for more or better for the end of January, beginning of February.

Monday, Jan. 29, 2024-SW Michigan-Possible Messy Weather Tonight

Monday, Jan. 29, 2024-SW Michigan-Possible Messy Weather Tonight

Currently 36 with a 5 mph wind from the WNW. Feels like 30 degrees. Dew Point 32, Barometer 30.12, Humidity 95%, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 8:00 am, Sunset 5:51 pm.

Mostly cloudy today with a high in the upper 30s. SW winds 5-15 mph.

80% chance of overnight rain possibly mixed with snow showers. Low in the lower 30s. SW winds 10-15 mph.

Very likely a messy weather pattern tonight and tomorrow but other than that, the future is looking dry. And with many of the day offering temperatures in the 40 degree range. Things are looking up. Above normal numbers in store for February as far as can be told so far.

Sunday, Jan. 28, 2024-SW Michigan-Ain’t No Sunshine In Our Sky

Sunday, Jan. 28, 2024-SW Michigan-Ain’t No Sunshine In Our Sky

Currently 37 with a 4 mph wind from the NE. Feels like 30. Dew Point 36, Barometer  30.03, Humidity 94%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:01 am, Sunset 5:59 pm.

Cloudy with a high in the upper 30s. N winds 10-15 mph.

Mostly cloudy. Low in the upper 20s. NW winds 5-10 mph.

No sunshine today but -dare I say it? – we might see a peek of sun tomorrow. After that it won’t be happening until around the end of next week. And by then, we’ll all be more than eager to see it. In between times, we could be looking at a frozen mix thing (again) around Tuesday, but maybe that will change before then. Let’s hope so.

And GO LIONS!

Saturday, Jan. 27, 2024-SW Michigan-Another Foggy Sunless Day

Saturday, Jan. 27, 2024-SW Michigan-Another Foggy Sunless Day

Currently 36 with a 2 mph wind from the E. Feels like 34. Dew Point 35, Barometer 30.22, Humidity 100%, Visibility -.66 mi., Sunrise 8:02 am, Sunset 5:48 pm.

Cloudy with areas of fog. High in the upper 30s. Light winds.

30% chance of rain possibly mixed with snow. Areas of fog. Low in the mid 30s. NE winds 5-10 mph.

Perhaps some precipitation tonight but after that, nothing in store until Monday night through Tuesday. Our weekly temperatures should be in the upper 30s, maybe even a 40. Much better than we’ve had recently. And eventually, it will only get better. Nice, huh?

Friday, Jan. 26, 2024-SW Michigan-Temperatures To Stay Moderate For End Of Jan

Friday, Jan. 26, 2024-SW Michigan-Temperatures To Stay Moderate For End Of Jan

Currently 37 with a 3 mph wind from the ESE. Feels like 30 degrees. Dew Point 36, Barometer 30.05, Humidity 100%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:03 am, Sunset 5:47 pm.

70% chance of rain. Patchy fog. High in the upper 30s. NE winds 5-10 mph.

70% chance of overnight rain. Areas of fog. Low in the lower 30s. Light winds.

Our daytime temperatures are supposed to remain in the 30s. There’s nothing to say we won’t end up with a night or two of mixed perception, but as of now it’s not expected to amount to anything significant. This is like a tiny hint of the coming of an early spring. It isn’t, really, but we can pretend all we like.
