Tuesday, Nov. 12, 2024-SW Michigan-Cool But Sunny Today

Currently 35 with an average wind from the NNE of 6 mph. Feels like 31 degrees. Dew Point 33, Humidity 90%, Barometer 30.36, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 5:21 am, Sunset 5:21 pm.

Starting to feel like November with temperatures like today and tonight. Should be a bit warmer tomorrow and the rest of the week back into the 50s. Still looking at rain moving in by Sunday and lasting through next week. Lucky that for now it’s only rain and not snow. That will, unfortunately come all too soon. But not yet. Not here even though the Western part of the nation is getting massive snowfall already. We all know that eventually the jet stream is going to be bringing that stuff in our direction. We can wait. Willingly.

A gloomy morning with plenty of wind to help move the damp leaves around. And there are still so many of them out there. The rain we don’t get this morning will likely get another crack at us around Thursday. Again on Sunday and the rain moving in on Sunday looks determined then to stick around for the entire week. On some of the sites that dread S word is daring to sneak in and mix with some of that rain. Don’t care to see any of that, but unfortunately the hint of its arrival is out there. Alas…it’s that time of year, isn’t it?

A rather gloomy day for us with the rain perhaps holding over for a slight chance of a bit more tomorrow morning. After this batch clears up, nothing until Wednesday or Thursday. And again – guess when? – you got it, next Sunday. Why is it when our rainy times come along they almost always include our Sundays? At least that’s the picture for now – it could change by next weekend, but that’s a wait and see situation. Today prepare to be on the damp side if you’re going outside. Just the way it is.

Beginning our day bright but will end up in clouds. Look for rain tonight and tomorrow – but then none again until about Wednesday. We do need the rain, so it’s good we’re in line to get some. And we are still grateful it’s only rain and not the heavy snow already falling out in the west. Not any where near ready for that.

Very bright but also chilly. That’s the name of the game for us from now on. We’ll take the chill as long as we keep getting the sunshine. We all know it won’t be forever before that dread S word starts showing up in our forecast. So far, so good. And it can hold off as long as possible for most of us.

Sunny today with a high in the mid 50s. W winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 20 in the afternoon.

Mostly clear with an overnight low in the lower 40s. W winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 20.

Not a bad day. A little on the chilly side but then this is mostly the light jacket weather we’ll be in – until we won’t. Then we’re find our way into heavier jackets. At least it’s bright out there and that’s something. Michigan gets entirely too many cloudy days in the winter months so we appreciate those that aren’t.  Still looking for rain on Sunday, other than that, clear weather seems to be ours.

Partly cloudy with a 20% chance of overnight rain. Low in the upper 30s. Light winds.

As of now, it appears as if the rain has been removed from Saturday but alas…not from Sunday. So a sort of half and half enjoyable weekend. Temperatures are to remain about what they are now, we’ve settled firmly into November and not really expecting any brilliant splashes of warmth now. Hopefully, not expecting any deep dips into the colder areas yet either. We are sort of in the middle of it all.

Another day with no sunshine and the chance of rain. After today, some dry days on the way with no more rain until…yup, you got it. The weekend. Seems to be a fall thing. But then again, no point in trying to find time to go out leaf peeping. Those leaves are now all brown and on the ground for the most part. Still for many folks the weekend is their opportunity for doing outdoor chores – tasks always out there waiting to be done. Well, perhaps not many will get done this weekend. Never know, though. Maybe the rain will be light or even manage to skip us. That last one not very likely but I guess we’ll see how it goes. Good idea to have some indoor chores on the list just in case.

A gloomy beginning to our week but with needed rain. Haven’t had as much of it as we’ve needed so these few days of rainy weather are not fun but welcome. And we can be grateful it’s only rain and not snow.

Sunday, Nov. 3, 2024-SW Michigan-Look For Rain Later Today

Currently 51 with an average wind from the E of 7 mph. Feels like 51 degrees. Dew Point 39, Humidity 65%, Barometer 30.23, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:20 am, Sunset 5:31 pm.

Looks a lot like rain will move in later today. And once it gets here, seems as if rain is in the forecast until about Wednesday. Hopefully you were able to gather up a lot of those fallen leaves left by our high wind by now ’cause you won’t get much of an opportunity again for a while. Not very colorful out there now with so many of the leaves down. Lots of bare sticks left behind. Sure is looking a lot like November.
