After heavy overnight rain, our skies are clearing and the sun is out.  There was 0.86″ in my rain gauge this morning, and we did hear a few rumbles of thunder last night.  A winter storm warning is in effect for the upper peninsula, and up to 3 feet of snow is expected in the western and central areas.  Travelers are being warned to wait until Thursday to do any necessary driving.  The lower peninsula is expecting mostly rain but strong winds have produced lakeshore flood warnings as well as a wind advisory.  So today will be just a good day to hunker down and stay home.

Our 9:45 AM temperature is 51°F (11°C), the humidity is 83%, and winds are from the SW at 15 mph, gusting to 23 mph.  Visibility is 10 miles.  The dew point is 50°F (10°C) and skies are partly cloudy.  The pressure is 29.28 in (991.5 mb) and rising.  Yesterday’s high wa 51°F (11°C) and the overnight low was 47°F (8°C).  Averages for this date are 40°F / 28°F.  Sunrise was at 7:42 AM and sunset will be at 5:04 PM (EST).
