Murphy's Weather

Currently 41 with an average wind from the SSW of 10 mph. Feels like 34 degrees. Dew Point 34, Barometer 29.6, Humidity 66%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:26 am, Sunset 6:25 pm.

Partly sunny with a high in the mid 40s. SW winds 10-20 mph with gusts to 40.

Mostly cloudy with al ow in the lower 30s. W winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 20 in the evening.

A little breezy out there this morning but it certainly feels spring-like. Not to be fooled though. It isn’t. Our temperatures will stay in the 40s most of this week but it will end back in the 30s for the weekend – with the chance for a bit of snow Friday night and Saturday. Rain or snow. 40s or 30s. It’s that time of year, fluctuating all over the place as winter weakens and spring begins to gain a bit of strength.  I guess the best thing to do is enjoy the 40s, bare with the 30s and eventually it will all even out. We’re all heading in the right direction.

Currently 28 with a calm wind from the SSE. Feels like 28 degrees. Dew Point 27, Barometer 30.04, Humidity 92%, Visibility 9 mi, Sunrise 7:28 am, Sunset 6:24 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a 20% chance of afternoon snow showers. High in the mid30s SW winds 5-10 mph.

Partly cloudy evening becoming mostly cloudy overnight. Low in the upper 20s. S winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 25.

Not today but starting I think tomorrow we should see a week of 40 degree days. Even with a bit of rain tossed in, which will eat away a lot of the snow. Things won’t stay in that range on a steady basis yet, some 3o degree days on the way and we will likely see a few in the 20s. But we’re heading in the right direction now. That is encouraging.

Currently 21 with an average wind from the SSE of 5 mph. Feels like 12 degrees. Dew Point 18, Barometer 30.17, Humidity 85%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:30 am, Sunset 6:22 pm.

Partly sunny with a high in the upper 20s. SW winds 10-20 mph with gusts to 30.

Partly cloudy becoming mostly cloudy. Low in he lower 20s. SW winds 5-15 mph with gusts to 25.

Okay, so it hasn’t arrived yet, but a little warm up is on the way. We should end up the month of February in the 40s but alas…we will be starting the month of March back in the chill. Hopefully it won’t be forever.  Those 40 degrees are going to seem wonderful and the loss of them, even temporary, will feel downright insulting. Such is Mother Nature’s grand scheme of things. Wobbly at best. Anyway, the chance of some rain about Wednesday maybe Thursday will go a long way toward melting away the snow ground cover. Looking forward to it.

Currently 27 with a 3 mph wind from the WSW. Feels like 27 degrees. Dew Point 19, Barometer 30.5, Humidity 71%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:31 am, Sunset 6:21 pm.

Partly sunny with a high in the upper 20s. Light winds becoming W 5-10 in the afternoon.

Partly cloudy with a low 15-20. SW winds 5-10 mph with gusts to around 20.

Believe it or not we’re going to be looking at some temperatures in the 40 degree range the beginning of the week. Don’t get overly excited about it because we won’t be finished with the 20 degrees, but those should be few and far between as our days go along. For now, most of us are eagerly looking forward to anything as comfortable as 40 degrees melting some of the snow ground cover. We’ve had our share of it this month.

Currently 18 degrees with an average wind from the WNW of 6 mph. Feels like 12 degrees. Dew Point 17, Humidity 91%, Barometer 30.25, Visibility 3 mi., Sunrise 7:33 am, Sunset 6:20 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a 40% chance of snow showers until midday. High in the mid 20s. NW winds around 10 mph.

Mostly cloudy becoming partly cloudy. Low 10-15 mph. NW winds 5-10 mph becoming light.

Slowly but surely our temperatures are set to begin a rise in numbers. Nothing speedy but gradually. Not that we won’t see a brief set-back now and again – like around the first of March – but they should be brief and bearable.  There’s been something like 10 named winter storms with the latest being Kingston this year – so far. And we’ve had several of the frigid arctic blasts of air that have sent everything into a deep freeze. We’re mostly all ready for this winter to begin winding up. At least we’re heading in the right direction.

Currently 16 with an average wind from the S of 2 mph. Feels like 16 degrees. Dew Point 12, Humidity 88%, Barometer 30.41, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:34 am, Sunset 6:19 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a 20% chance of afternoon snow showers. High in the lower 20s. Light winds becoming NW 5-10 mph.

Mostly cloudy with a 50% chance of overnight snow showers. Low near 10. Light winds.

Okay, so looking ahead into next week we’ll  be seeing much better numbers and with March coming along, they get even better. For now, our temperatures are staying in the not so comfortable range. So…a little more snow, a little more cold. Nothing new but it’s getting more than tiresome. This blast of arctic air is coming down from the Arctic Circle and there’s nothing good about it. Not for anyplace in our country having to deal with it now. Our only hope is that it will eventually depart. We just need to have to hang in there long enough to get to the other side. We can do this.

Currently 9 with an 8 mph wind from the W. Feels like 3 degrees. Dew Point 7, Humidity 84%, Barometer 30.38, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 7:36 am, Sunset 6:17 pm.

Partly cloudy to mostly cloudy with a 20% chance of snow showers. High near 15. NW winds 5-15 mph with gusts to 20.

Partly cloudy with a low 5-10. NW winds 5-10 becoming light overnight.

Started out the day with some very welcome sunshine. Granted, when I went out to feed the critters it was only 6 degrees, but hey…at least it was bright and cheery looking. Not going to happen overnight but our temperatures are set to rise. Next week looking like it’s bringing us days in the 30 degree range. Not exactly tropical, but so much better and more comfortable then what we’re dealing with right now. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that this blast of arctic air is the last one of the season. And keep those fingers crossed with a thought that the month of March will be kinder to us than this month of February has been.

Currently 12 degrees with a 15 mph wind from the SSW. Feels like -4 degrees. Dew Point 10, Humidity 94%, Barometer 30.09, Visibility 2.5 mi., Sunrise 7:37 am, Sunset 6:16 pm.

80% chance of snow showers. 1″ or less expected. High 10-15 degrees. W winds 10-20 mph with gusts to around 30.

Partly cloudy with a 50% chance of snow showers. Low zero to 5 above. NW winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 20 in the evening.  Wind Chill Readings as low as 2 below to 12 below zero.

February is almost always a cruel month but this time around it’s being absolutely beastly. One round of winter storms right after another- luckily the heaviest of the precipitation from those have managed to miss my area- but all over the country they’ve brought cold, snow, ice, sleet, wind, flooding…you can imagine any detrimental element of winter and this February has provided it all. And we’re only a little more than half way through it. Our temperatures will slowly begin to warm up after a few days but when I say warm, I’m only talking in the 20s for daytime numbers and in the teens overnight. Bundle up, think spring and survive. That’s the best we can do and hope for right now.

Currently 23 with a 9 mph wind from the WNW. Feels like 14 degrees. Dew Point 22, Humidity 97%, Barometer 2963, Visibility 3 mi., Sunrise 7:38 am, Sunset 6:15 pm.

Winter Weather Advisory has been extended now to 7 pm on Monday. 1- 4″ of snow expected along with wind and cold.

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

Mostly cloudy with a 30% chance of snow showers. Low 5-10 above. NW winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 30.

Well, Winter Storm Jett seems to have for the most part missed us. So far. We do seem to be in some sort of a donut hole here where the storms seem to go around us on quite often. We did, as usual, get some snow but nothing like what had been predicted. A few inches up to now. Not to say we won’t be getting more snow, ’cause we’re told to be expecting it. We won’t be so lucky as to avoid the cold temperatures coming at us. Those we will get for sure.  Hardly any way to say how tired I am of winter – the cold, the snow, the misery. Can’t wait for spring to get here and bring an opportunity for getting outside without having to bundle up in boots and coats and gloves and..SO tired of it. And we’re not done with it yet. Alas…

Currently 23 with an average wind from the NE of 4 mph. Feels like 23 degrees. Dew Point 23, Humidity 100%, Barometer 29.92, Visibility 6 mi., Sunrise 7:40 pm, Sunset 6:13 pm.

Winter Weather Advisory in effect until Sunday 7 pm. 2-4″ snow likely, ice accumulation of a light glaze possible.

80% chance of snow showers possibly mixed with freezing rain until midday then snow in the afternoon. 1-2″ possible. High in the upper 20s. E winds 5-10 mph becoming NE in the afternoon.

90% chance of overnight snow. 2-3″ possible. Low in the lower 20s. NE winds 5-15 mph increasing to 20 with gusts to 30.

The winter storm moved in a bit later than expected and now will be lasting through Sunday. In addition the possibility of freezing rain and inches of snow, we’ll be getting wind and brutal cold temperatures following it. A messy storm bringing nothing good to anyone. Just be alert and watch out for road conditions if you have to travel.
