Friday, Jan. 3, 2025-SW Michigan-Area Should Miss Winter Storm Blair

Friday, Jan. 3, 2025-SW Michigan-Area Should Miss Winter Storm Blair

Currently 21 with an average wind from the WSW of 7 mph. Feels like 12 degrees. Dew Point 21, Barometer 30.07, Humidity 96%, Visibility 8 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:20 pm.

70% chance of snow showers. 1″ or less expected. High in the mid 20s. NW winds 10-15 mph with gusts to around 30.

40% chance of snow showers. Low 15-20 degrees. NW winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 30.

Winter Weather Advisory in effect until Saturday 1:00 am. Total snowfall up to 4″ expected.

We may be missing the blunt of Winter Storm Blair here and that isn’t making anyone unhappy that I’m aware of. We are stuck with the bitter cold though, no way out of that. And we are getting some lake effect snow but that isn’t going to even come close to holding a candle to Blair. That storm is looking powerful with a variety of heavy snow right on to freezing rain and sleet. Thoughts of safety to those to the south of our state but at the same time grateful for it sliding past us.

Thursday, Jan. 2, 2025-SW Michigan-Cold Stuff Is Coming

Currently 25 with an average wind from the WSW of 3 mph. Feels like 18 degrees. Dew Point 21, Barometer 30.17, Humidity 90%, Visibility 3 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:19 pm.

Cloudy with a 40% chance of snow showers. Low in the lower20s. W winds 10 mph with gusts to 20.

Could get a bit more snow today, tonight, perhaps tomorrow. After that, as of right now, it looks like clouds and bitter cold temperatures for us for the next week. Looks very much like the big snowstorm is going to be sliding past to the south of us. Fingers crossed that this will hold up. No way to miss the frigid temperatures though. That much we’ll be in for.

Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2025-SW Michigan-New Year’s Day Snow

Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2025-SW Michigan-New Year’s Day Snow

Currently 32 with an average wind from the SW of 5 mph. Feels like 28. Dew Point 30, Barometer 29.94, Humidity 100%, Visibility 2.1 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:18 pm.

70% chance of snow showers. 1-2″ possible. High in the mid 30s. W winds 5=15 mph with gusts to 25.

Cloudy with a 50% chance of evening snow showers. Low in the lower 20s. W winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 25.

We will be getting some snow today – not a great deal of it, but enough to make the roads slippery. Look for more snow on Friday. We may luck out with this winter storm coming in over the weekend. We will for sure get the arctic cold temperatures and likely the wind, but we may be on the north side of the majority of the snow. Pretty early to tel for sure but that’s what it looks like for now. Fingers are crossed on this. In the meantime, have a safe and happy New Year’s day with the beginning of a terrific year ahead.

Tuesday, Dec. 31, 2024-SW Michigan-Likely Some Snow Today Through Tomorrow

Tuesday, Dec. 31, 2024-SW Michigan-Likely Some Snow Today Through Tomorrow

Currently 34 with an average wind from the ENE of 5 mph. Feels like 28 degrees. Dew Point 34, Barometer 29.64, Humidity 100%, Visibility 6 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:18 pm.

90% chance of rain/snow showers. High in the mid 30s. NE winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 25.

Cloudy with a 50% chance of overnight snow showers. Low in the lower 30s. NW winds 5-15 mph.

Very possible we’ll see some snow overnight and on in to tomorrow. Perhaps nothing after that until Sunday. But our temperatures will be dropping considerable. Cold from the Polar blast of winter will be moving through here and staying with us well into January. If you’re going to be out and about for New Year’s tonight, do keep an eye on the weather and the road conditions. Better yet, don’t drive. Then you have no problems.

In the meantime, have a Happy New Year. May the weather this coming year to accommodating for everyone – no matter how you want it to fall out.

Monday, Dec. 30, 2024-SW Michigan-Nice Now But…

Monday, Dec. 30, 2024-SW Michigan-Nice Now But…

Currently 37 with an average wind from the SSW of 4 mph. Feels like 34 degrees. Dew Point 38, Barometer 29.72, Humidity 98%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:17 pm.

Partly sunny with a high in the lower 40s. W winds 10-15 mph with gusts to around 30.

Mostly cloudy with 20% chance of freezing rain and snow showers. Low in the lower 30s. Light winds becoming E 5-10 with gusts to 20.

Pleasant temperatures are with us now but don’t look for them to hang around. We’ll be getting some snow probably Tuesday and Wednesday, but the bigger story is the Polar Vortex on it’s way for the beginning of 2025. We could be getting some serious snow over the weekend – the story on exactly where that snow will be falling isn’t set in cement right now – but for sure we’ll be getting wind and very cold temperatures right on through to the middle of January. Winter will descend on us with a vengeance as January takes over. So enjoy today’s warmth – such as it is. It will be gone before we know it.

Sunday, Dec. 29, 2024-SW Michigan-Rainy Sunday For Us

Sunday, Dec. 29, 2024-SW Michigan-Rainy Sunday For Us

Currently 43 with an average wind from the SE of 8 mph. Feels like 39 degrees. Dew Point 41, Barometer 29.68, Humidity 100%, Visibility 2.9 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:16 pm.

100% chance of rain. High in the mid 40s. NE winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 30.

100% chance of overnight rain. Low in the mid 30s. NW winds 10-20 mph with gusts to 30.

A chilly rain out there this morning and I suspect it will last most of the day and through the night. Look for a break in the precipitation tomorrow with perhaps a peek at the sun. If that happens, I’d take advantage of it ’cause it doesn’t look much like any sunshine for a whole lot of days after that. In fact, beyond clouds, appears as if snow is going to visit at least every other day. We’ll see. But I’m betting  January is going to prove to be very much different from what our December has been.

Saturday, Dec. 28, 2024-SW Michigan-Expect Rain Today And Tomorrow

Saturday, Dec. 28, 2024-SW Michigan-Expect Rain Today And Tomorrow

Currently 48 with an average wind from the SSW of 6 mph. Feels like 45 degrees. Dew Point 47, Barometer 29.87, Humidity 100%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:16 pm.

Cloudy with a 40% chance of showers. High around 50. SW winds 10-20 mph with gusts to 30.

Mostly cloudy with a 50% chance of overnight rain. Low in the mid 30s. SW winds around 10 mph becoming light.

We are experiencing rather warm temperatures that are not going to last too much longer. Rain rather than snow and that won’t last too much longer either. Look for a bit of sunshine on Monday but then the precip returns. The New Year will be ushering in our regular stuff – snow. After the 1st I don’t believe we’ll be seeing any more warmth or rain. I’m rather confident we’re going to be heading back into wintry weather.

Friday Dec 27, 2024-SW Michigan-Expect Some Rain Today And Tonight

Friday Dec 27, 2024-SW Michigan-Expect Some Rain Today And Tonight

Currently 39 with an average wind from the SE of 3 mph. Feels like. Dew Point 37, Dew Point 39, Barometer 30.04, Humidity 100%, Visibility 5 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:15 pm.

100% chance of overnight rain. Low in the lower 40s. SE winds 10-15 mph becoming S during the night.

Rain today and probably right on through to Monday. As of now, and we all know how that can change, Monday appears to be about the only precipitation free day. Things will dip winterish after that with our temperatures due to descend into the colder numbers beginning the New Year. Our rain will, of course, be replaced with snow. Enjoy these 40 degree days ’cause looks like they are numbered and who knows when they will return again?

There is a small chance of rain today and tonight but a better chance tomorrow through Sunday. Monday may give us a break in precipitation but it comes right back on Tuesday. Next week the precipitation will likely transition over to snow. This was our break in the weather to make getting out and about over the Christmas holiday. Not so sure about New Year’s. Could end up with some snow for New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. I guess we’ll find out eventually.

Wednesday, Dec. 25, 2024-SW Michigan-Cloudy Christmas Weather

Wednesday, Dec. 25, 2024-SW Michigan-Cloudy Christmas Weather

Currently 32 with an average wind from the NNE of 1 mph. Feels like 32 degrees. Dew Point 25, Barometer 30.38, Humidity 78%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:12 am, Sunset 5:13 pm.

Mostly cloudy today with a high in the mid 30s. Light winds.

Cloudy with a 20% chance of drizzle and freezing drizzle. Low around 30. E winds around 5 mph.

Going to be dry today which will help with all the holiday traveling. Tonight might be a different matter.  There is a slight chance for some freezing drizzle. Tomorrow might only be cloudy but there is the opportunity for some rain. Definitely rain over the weekend, from Friday through Sunday. Our temperatures are going to be very comfortable way on to about the end of next week where they will start to tumble into a more wintry range.

Hope your Christmas weather is the best it can be. Merry Christmas one and all.
