Mostly cloudy becoming partly cloudy with a low around 20. N winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 20.

Today’s 40 degrees is the highest we’re going to have for some time. Dipping back into mostly the 20s. A few 30 degree days but those will likely bring us some sort of precipitation with it.  Like this coming Wednesday-carting along some wintry mix either during the daytime hours or overnight. Chilly February weather in the cards for us.

Sunday, Feb. 2025-SW Michigan-Some Snow, Some Fog

Sunday, Feb. 2025-SW Michigan-Some Snow, Some Fog

Currently 27 with an average wind from the ENE of 3 mph. Feels like 21 degrees. Dew Point 24, Barometer 29.97, Humidity 100%, Visibility 4 mi., Sunrise 7:56 am, Sunset 5:56 pm.

Cloudy with areas of fog through the night. A 20% chance of rain Low in the mid 30s. Light winds.

Some morning snow, but so far nothing too heavy.  The  fog might be hanging around with us for a while. Very likely going to be temperatures in the 40s tomorrow. Won’t last, but 40 degrees with maybe some rain might be refreshing. Back to reality with 30 degrees and possible frozen mix by Wednesday. It is February after all, which means we could be getting something of everything.

Saturday, Feb. 1, 2025-SW Michigan-Enjoy Morning Sunshine

Currently 21 with an average wind from the ENE of 45 mph. Feels like 21 degrees. Dew Point 14, Barometer 30.37, Humidity 75%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:57 am, Sunset 5:55 pm.

Sunny until about midday then becoming cloudy. high in the upper 20s. NE winds 5-10 mph becoming SE with gusts to around 20.

70% chance of overnight snow. Low in the lower 20s. SE winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 25.

It’s nice and bright out there this morning but it’s downright cold too. Not going to warm up today to speak of with a cold night to follow. Look for quite the warm up tomorrow and Monday – hopefully into the 40s. Of course, that won’t last, but hey…we’ll take what we get. Tomorrow could bring a mix of snow and rain and we all know how ugly that can get. Hopefully the temperatures will raise quick enough to tend to that problem – if it gets into the 40s. Sunday isn’t a given but Monday almost certainly will and that could bring rain. You know the way it’s been going that a couple of days with numbers in the upper 30s or 40s is usually followed by a dip into the 20s. Count on it.  Tuesday will be right back down into those unwanted numbers.

Friday, Jan. 31, 2025-SW Michigan-Morning Fog, Rain Perhaps Snow Later

Friday, Jan. 31, 2025-SW Michigan-Morning Fog, Rain Perhaps Snow Later

Currently 36 with an average wind from the NNE of 7 mph. Feels like 32 degrees. Dew Point 35, Barometer 29.73, Humidity 100%, Visibility 5 mi., Sunrise 7:58 am, Sunset 5:53 pm.

Patchy fog until about midday. Partly cloudy with a 70% chance of rain showers. Could be some snow showers mixed in. High in the upper 30s. NE winds 5-15 mph with gusts to around 30.

Partly cloudy with a low of 15-20. N winds 5-15 mph with gusts to 25.

Hard to tell but it could be  messy little day. Fog, rain, maybe snow showers? Nothing like variety. Look for temperatures tomorrow to be back in the 20s. Sunday will be back into the upper 30s or lower 40s. With snow and again maybe some rain mixed in.  No question about it, we’re in a for day with temperatures up and down. It seems to be the way it’s shaping up. Some days in the 30s, some 40s…perhaps dipping into the 20s. Reckon the way to success is to be keeping an eye on the weather and be ready for any of it. At least we’re saying goodby to January as we are set to usher in February.  For me the last official winter month because as we all know MARCH COULD BE NICE.

Thursday, Jan. 30, 2025-SW Michigan-Enjoy Today’s Sunshine

Thursday, Jan. 30, 2025-SW Michigan-Enjoy Today’s Sunshine

Currently 30 with an average wind from the SSE of 2 mph. Feels like 30 degrees. Dew Point 27, Barometer 29.93, Humidity 69%, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 7:59 am, Sunset 7:59 pm

Partly cloudy becoming mostly cloudy with a 50% chance of rain showers. Possible freezing rain mixed in during the night. Low in the lower 30s. SW winds 5-10 mph with gusts to around 20 in the evening becoming light.

Today will be a delight but there could be some messy weather coming our way. Rain/ freezing rain/snow…we could get a variety over the next few days. Let’s hope with the higher temperature we’ll just be in the rain range. Until it’s snow. Then hopefully nothing but snow. It’s the mixing that becomes problematic. In the meantime, looking like  a lot of 30 degree days next week for us. Well, likely some 20 degrees mixed in, but not too bad for beginning the short, cruel month of February.  We shall see how it all plays out.

Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2025-SW Michigan-Some 40 Degrees Days Approaching

Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2025-SW Michigan-Some 40 Degrees Days Approaching

Currently 34 with a 5 mph wind from the West. Feels like 27 degrees. Dew Point 28, Barometer 29.75, Humidity 80%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:00 am, Sunset 5:51 pm.

Partly sunny with a high in the mid 30s. NW winds 10-25 mph with gusts to around 30.

Party cloudy. Low in the lower 20s. W winds 5-10 mph becoming S overnight.

Hard to imagine but it does look as if our near future might have a few 40 degree days in it. Not going to be the norm yet, that’s for certain, but will be welcome for how many or for how long they hang around. A nice way to wind up January and usher in February. Maybe some rain/snow on Friday and Sunday. That’s okay at least it won’t be brutal cold and snow. If the temperature cooperates we’ll be getting rain. That should go a ways toward eliminating a lot of the ground snow for a while. Nothing wrong with that, either. We’ve had plenty so far – with, I’m sure, more to come.

Tuesday, Jan. 28, 2025-SW Michigan-Several Days Over 30 Degrees

Tuesday, Jan. 28, 2025-SW Michigan-Several Days Over 30 Degrees

Partly cloudy in the evening becoming mostly cloudy. Patchy blowing snow in the evening.  Low in the upper 20s. W winds 15-20 with gusts to around 35.

Look for temperatures in the 30s until Saturday. A big dip that day but warming up again on Sunday. Supposedly. Possible freezing rain Thursday night into Friday. Or maybe not. Depends on which weather station you check on. Seems like plenty of wind whipping through with possible blowing snow mixed in there. Or again, maybe not. Just a messy little January streak.  At any rate, enjoy these few days that aren’t down in the 20 degree range. We will, for certain, be getting more of them.

Monday, Jan. 27, 2025-SW Michigan-Comfortable Temps This Week

Partly cloudy with a 40% chance of overnight snow showers.  Patchy blowing snow in the evening. Low 15-20 with 15-20 with gusts to around 40 becoming NW 5-15 with gusts to 25 overnight.

Not a bad morning with a prediction for an evening not so pleasant. Look for a week of temperatures in the 30s. Perhaps some snow scattered around once in awhile but not a bad week. Appears as if temperatures will fall again into the 20s next week, so I guess we need to appreciate this one. Or try, anyway.

Sunday, Jan. 26, 2025-SW Michigan-Some Warmer Days Coming

Not overly warm today but the sunshine makes it feel better than it is. This coming week, however, brings us a lot of days in the 30 degree range. Might be some snow mixed in here and there, but hey…30 degrees. We’ll take it.

Saturday, Jan. 25, 2025-SW Michigan- Finally A Bit Of Warmth For Our Day

Saturday, Jan. 25, 2025-SW Michigan- Finally A Bit Of Warmth For Our Day

Currently 23 with an average wind from the S of 5 mph. Feels like 18. Dew Point 23, Barometer 30.01, Humidity 88%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:04 am, Sunset 5:45 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a 50% chance of snow showers. Low 15-20 with gusts to around 30.

What a difference – feels fairly balmy out there this morning. Well, maybe not quite, but much better than the close to zero mornings we just lived through. Looking ahead, it would appear as if a good scattering of 30 degree days will be ours for a bit. Might be dropping back into the 20s here and there along the way but still…Getting close to the end of January which, for me, only leaves one really tough month to get through. February. Short but cruel as a general rule and then we’ll be into March. And March Could Be Nice. We’ll see how it goes this year. In the meantime, enjoy the 30 degrees while we have it.
