Winter Has Returned to Mid Michigan
Once again, Mother Nature is reminding us that it is too early in the season for mild weather. At least we have lost most of our snow, getting us ready for the next round. There are no pending storms on the horizon for us at this time, but we all know how quickly that can change. Temperatures for the next week are expected to be near normal to slightly above. We never did get the accumulation that was predicted for yesterday. The precip that we did get was mist and a few flurries later in the day. There was nothing measurable in my rain gauge this morning.
Our 9 AM temp is 24°F (-3°C), the humidity is 69% and skies are overcast. The pressure is 30.18 in (1021.7 mb) and rising. Winds are from the NW at 5 mph giving us a wind chill of 20°F (-7°C).
