Monday, Oct. 7, 2024-SW Michigan-Some Chilly Nights Coming

Currently 55 with an average wind from the WSW of 6 mph. Feels like 55 degrees. Dew Point 39, Barometer 30.08, Humidity 56%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:47 am, Sunset 7:12 pm.

Sunny with a high in the mid 60s. NW winds 5-15 mph.

Clear overnight with a low in the lower 40s. W winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 20 in the evening becoming light.

Starting to see overnight numbers in the lower 40s, even upper 30s starting to show up. Getting there, aren’t we? And this week continues to be one about perfect for being out there taking care of the many chores that need doing before the weather changes. Personally, I’m about done. One thing left to prepare for the coming of winter and the possibility of power going out. I do like to be prepared. Wish everyone was the same.  Anyway, do what you need to do while it’s comfortable out there. And if you’re of the praying folk, wouldn’t hurt to offer up a prayer for those in the path of yet another  hurricane. This one Milton. Looks like it’s building up to be a bad one in Florida.

Sunny with a high around 70. W winds 15-20 with gusts to 35.

Partly cloudy with a in the lower 40s. NW winds 5-15 mph with gusts to 30 decreasing to 20 overnight.

A beautiful day today but a bit windy. In fact, there is a Red Flag Warning out in case there are some foolish people busy burning leaves or whatnot – and there are ALWAYS some foolish people out there. Let’s hope not today because things are dry and with this wind, it wouldn’t take much to create a fire problem.

Looks like a fine week ahead. 60 degree days and plentiful sunshine. As of now, appears to be some rain coming next Sunday with a drop down into the 50 degrees the following Monday. I don’t think we’ll stay there steady but those days are going to start cropping up.

Look for our temperature to dip into the 60s tomorrow and stay there for the coming week. A cooler week than we’ve had. As of now, it looks like next weekend could bring us a couple of 70 degree days, but they come about that seems to be it. No rain in sight for now for the coming week, just cooler temperatures. Getting to be fall-like out there.

Look for the next couple of days to be in the 70s but after that expect some 60 degree. Sort of a back and forth thing right now. Sooner or later the temperatures will be dropping down on a more steady basis. For now we get a mix. Jacket on? Jacket off? About the way it goes in the fall. Not seeing much in the area of rain for us yet. Lots of nice days to be out and about taking care of fall chores. Get ‘er done!

Downright nippy out there this morning. Except for the next 3 or 4 days, which will bring us back into at least the low 70s, we’re going to be seeing many more of these chilly days. Lots of 60 degree days and 40 degree nights. After so many days of needing the A/C, the heat on is feeling might fine this morning. Time to be getting at those fall chores while the weather holds out. Soon enough the fall rains and who knows what will be on us. Dang….

A rather gloomy start to the month of October but it promises to brighten up before too long. Quite a bit chillier out there than it’s been lately but again, it will warm up a bit from here. We’ll be seeing mostly 70 degree days the rest of this week. Next week looks, as of now, to be starting right out in the 60 degree range. Things are doing their usual fall cool down right on time.

Currently 66 with an average wind from the ESE of 3 mph. Feels like 66 degrees. Dew Point 61, Barometer 30.02, Humidity 80%, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 7:39 am, Sunset 7: 24 pm.

Partly cloudy with a low in the lower 60s. Light winds.

Sun for the end of the month, perhaps a bit of rain to usher in the month of October. Looks like a few 70 degree days ahead, but mostly starting to dip down into the 60s.  Probably about right for October. My hummingbirds seem to have flown the coop…er, feeder. Also about right for heading into October. I wish them all a safe journey and a return to me next spring. Actually, I’m already anxious for the return of spring, let alone the hummers. But as we all know I’m not a fan of either fall nor winter. Alas…such is life.

Summer-like temperatures today and tomorrow and the rain seems to have been completely taken out of the picture. Looks like sunshine with a lot of 60 degree days this coming week. No rain showing up until a week from now and even that is, at the moment, a slim chance.

Saturday, Sept. 28, 2024-SW Michigan-Slight Chance For Rain

Currently 64 with an average wind from the ESE of 6 mph. Feels like 66 degrees. Dew Point 59, Barometer 29.84, Humidity 75%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:37 am, Sunset 7:27 pm.

Partly cloudy with a 20% chance of overnight rain. Low in the lower 60s. NE winds 5-15 mph with gusts to 25.

Perhaps some rain today, not a big percentage hanging around for us, but some none-the-less. However, tomorrow is looking like a definite winner. No other rain in our forecast until a possible chance for some on Tuesday. Again, not a surety but the opportunity is there. Should be a terrific week of early fall weather.
