Saturday, Jan. 6, 2023-SW Michigan-Likelihood Of Snow All Week

Saturday, Jan. 6, 2023-SW Michigan-Likelihood Of Snow All Week

Currently 32 with a 4 mph from the ESE. Feels like 23 degrees. Dew Point 25, Barometer 29.85, Humidity 85%, Visibility 8 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:23 pm.

Cloudy with a 50% chance of snow. High in the mid 30s. E winds 5-15 mph.

70% chance of overnight snow. 1″ or less expected. Low in the upper 20s. Light winds.

Not at all sure that Winter Storm Finn is going to be dumping a mess of snow on us, but I am sure we will be getting some snow most every day in the coming week. So far, Monday is looking snow-free, but other than that, the word snow shows up in the forecast of every single day.  Sounds like a wintry week ahead of us.

Friday, Jan. 5, 2024, SW Michigan-Still Looking At Snow On The Way

Friday, Jan. 5, 2024, SW Michigan-Still Looking At Snow On The Way

Currently 34 with a 5 mph wind from the SW. Feels like 27 degrees. Dew Point 26, Barometer 30.23, Humidity 79%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am., Sunset 5:22 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a slight chance of snow flurries. High in the mid 30s. SW winds 5-15 mph.

Mostly cloudy with a 20% chance of overnight snow showers. Low in the mid 20s. Light winds.

Most sights are still looking at some weekend snow for us, but a much better chance for snow around next Tuesday. Winter Storm Ember is traveling through the country right now, but that one is for the most part swinging to the south and east. It appears as if the next winter storm, Finn, will be including us as it comes through about midweek. I guess it’s all due. After all, it’s January and that is a certain sure winter month.

Thursday, Jan. 4, 2024-SW Michigan-Looking At Two Snow Systems Coming Our Way

Thursday, Jan. 4, 2024-SW Michigan-Looking At Two Snow Systems Coming Our Way

Currently 28 with a 3 mph wind from the ESE. Feels like 21 degrees. Dew Point 16, Barometer 30.32, Humidity 64%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:21 pm.

Possibly becoming partly sunny later today. High in the lower 30s. N winds 5-15 mph becoming W in the afternoon.

Partly cloudy with a chance of some snow flurries overnight. Low in the lower 20s. SW winds 5-10 mph.

There is an opportunity to see a peek at the sun today. That might, or might not, happen. I think what we can count on is some snow. This weekend we’ll get some snow on Saturday and again on Sunday. But it’s next week that we need to be aware of. There is the strong potential for a snowy, windy event coming our way around Tuesday and Wednesday. I’d say the possibility is, at this time, quite strong, so just be ready for what could get here. I realize it’s tricky trying to predict weather conditions these days, but this one appears to be solid. Just a heads up.

Wednesday, Jan. 3, 2024-SW Michigan-Another Colorless Sky

Wednesday, Jan. 3, 2024-SW Michigan-Another Colorless Sky

Currently 36 with a 3 mph wind from the NW. Feels like 30 degrees. Dew Point 30, Barometer 29.99, Humidity 84%, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:20 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a 40% chance of morning drizzle and afternoon snow showers. High in the mid 30s. W winds 5-15 mph.

Partly cloudy with a 20% chance of overnight snow showers. Low in the lower 20s. N winds 5-10 mph.

Our season of colorless sky is not one of our more picturesque times. Makes one long for summer blue skies and green trees. That’s a long way off though. This has, so far, been a mild winter, but it still doesn’t offer much of a view. Looking for snow over the weekend, Saturday and Sunday could being us that. And then what appears to be a messy week ahead, with opportunities for wintry mix, snow, etc. Not looking pretty at this point. Just be ready for whatever comes along.

Tuesday, Jan. 2, 2024-SW Michigan-Change Of Wintry Mix Later

Tuesday, Jan. 2, 2024-SW Michigan-Change Of Wintry Mix Later

Currently 34 with an 8 mph wind from the W. Feels like 21 degrees. Dew Point 28. Barometer 30.13, Humidity 87%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:19 pm.

Partly cloudy with a 20% chance of freezing drizzle and snow showers in the afternoon. High in the upper 30s. SW winds 15-25 mph with gusts to 35.

Mostly cloudy with a 30% chance of freezing drizzle and snow showers overnight. Low around 30. W winds 5-15 mph.

Messy weather could visit us later today and overnight. Tomorrow, too. Right now looking at possible snow this weekend. Saturday and Sunday likely to bring snow. Winter is trying to settle in.

Monday, Jan. 1, 2024-SW Michigan-New Year Starting Out Cloudy

Monday, Jan. 1, 2024-SW Michigan-New Year Starting Out Cloudy

Currently 32 with a 4 mph wind from he ESE. Feels like 29 degrees. Dew Point 24, Barometer 30.15, Humidity 77%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:18 pm.

Partly cloudy with a high in the mid 30s. NW winds 5-10 mph becoming 10 mph in the afternoon.

Partly cloudy overnight with a low in the upper 20s. W winds 5-15 mph.

So far, so good as far as snow goes. Perhaps around Wednesday we might get some. Early next week we may be in for snow, frozen mix as the Jet Stream is going to conspire with various air currents and whatnot to bring in much more wintry weather than we’ve had so far. Just be aware. We know how fast things can change, but so far, this is what we seem to have in store.

I hope this New Year brings you good health and happiness. And all of the weather that you like the most.

Sunday, Dec. 31, 2023-SW Michigan-Misty Rain, Maybe Snow Later

Sunday, Dec. 31, 2023-SW Michigan-Misty Rain, Maybe Snow Later

Currently 37 with a wind of 1 mph from the WNW. Feels like 34 degrees. Dew Point 35, Barometer 29.86, Humidity 100%, Visibility 4 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:17 pm.

70% chance of rain and possible snow. High in the upper 30s. Light wind becoming NE 5-15 mph in the afternoon.

Cloudy with a 50% chance of snow showers possibly mixed with rain. Low in the upper 20s. N winds 5-10 mph.

A rather dreary last day of 2023.  No snow put in an appearance this morning, just off and on misty rain. There is the likelihood that snow will show up overnight. If it does, we could wake up to 2024 at least seeing a light coating of snow on the ground. Or maybe not. Our snow, so far, has been pretty much restricted to Halloween. Sooner or later we’ll see more of it, but it’s a guessing game at this point.

Snow or no snow, do take it easy if you’re out and about tonight. Start out the New Year safe and sound.  And have a Happy New Year.

Saturday, Dec. 30, 2023-SW Michigan-Could Get A Bit Of Snow Tonight/Tomorrow

Saturday, Dec. 30, 2023-SW Michigan-Could Get A Bit Of Snow Tonight/Tomorrow

Currently 34 with a wind of 1 mph from the S. Feels like 30 degrees. Dew Point 33, Barometer 29.83, Humidity 100%, Visibility 8 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:16 pm.

Mostly cloudy today with a high around 40. NW winds 10 mph becoming SW in the afternoon.

Cloudy overnight with a 50% chance of rain and snow showers. Low in the lower 30s. S winds 5-10 mph.

Appears as if we will be getting snow tonight and tomorrow. No white Christmas, instead a white New Years. Not the safest thing to be getting. Usually too many people out driving on New Year’s Eve that shouldn’t be anyway, add in some slick roads and it’s not a good scene. Let’s hope either we don’t get the snow or people who shouldn’t be driving, don’t.  Might be getting a bit of snow around next Wednesday, too.

Friday, Dec. 29, 2023-SW Michigan-Cloudy, Possible Rain

Friday, Dec. 29, 2023-SW Michigan-Cloudy, Possible Rain

Currently 41 with a 2 mph wind from the ENE. Feels like 37 degrees. Dew Point 40, Barometer 29.79, Humidity 100%, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:16 pm.

Cloudy with a 50% chance of rain. High in the lower 40s. N winds 5-10 mph.

Partly cloudy with a low in the upper 20s. NW winds 5-10 mph in the evening becoming light.

Still looking for a chance of some snow on Sunday and perhaps again about midweek.  Wednesday could bring about that same chance.  Temperatures will continue to be in the 30s from now on. Could even dip into the upper 20s by week’s end. Our balmy weather has fled the scene.

Thursday, Dec. 28, 2023-SW Michigan-Clouds And Rain For Us

Thursday, Dec. 28, 2023-SW Michigan-Clouds And Rain For Us

Currently 41 with a 4 mph wind from the NE. Feels like 36 degrees. Dew Point 40, Barometer 29.78, Humidity 100%, Visibility 8 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:15 pm.

Patchy fog until midday. 70% chance of rain. High in the mid 40s. NE winds 5-15 mph.

80% chance of overnight rain. Low in the upper 30s. NE winds around 10 mph.

Ain’t no sunshine…no, wrong song, but same idea. Nothing but an overcast sky for us today with rain expected. Still looking at a pretty fair chance of some snow on Sunday, but so far, this is the only day we’re looking at with snow in it for the next week. Subject, of course, to change as is always the case with our weather.  Temperatures will continue to fall. Our unusual 50 degree days are a thing of the past for now. Unfortunate, but due to happen.
