Nasty Winter Storm Heading Our Way – Mid Michigan

Nasty Winter Storm Heading Our Way – Mid Michigan

Tomorrow should be quite interesting with this storm affecting so many states.  Although my area isn’t expecting any snow, winds will be the issue.  There is a high wind watch in effect for tomorrow morning through tomorrow night and a blizzard warning for the U.P.  Wind gusts up to 60 mph can be expected and the State Police are warning everyone that power outages are a real possibility, and they could last for a few days.  Today is my son’s birthday and I’m so happy that it isn’t happening today since the kids will be home for dinner.  I just hope that they get home okay tomorrow.  My son and daughter both live in the Detroit area.  Also I hope that we don’t lose power.  The temperatures will be mild but that’s the only good thing about it.

Right now (10:15 AM), our temperature is 34°F (1°C), the humidity is 72% and winds are from the southeast at 7 mph.  The wind chill is 25°F (-4°C).  Visibility is 10 miles and the dew point is 25°F (-4°C).  Skies are cloudy.  The pressure is 30.02 in (1016.6 mb) and falling.  Yesterday’s high was 37°F (3°C) and the overnight low was 24°F (-4°C).  Averages for this date are 31°F / 17°F.  Sunrise was at 7:22 AM and sunset will be at 6:18 PM.
