Dropping Temperatures, Misty Rain Before The Storm – Mid Michigan

Dropping Temperatures, Misty Rain Before The Storm – Mid Michigan

Our morning has seen temperatures falling since early morning and the snow is expected to begin late this afternoon.  Most local meteorologists have settled for a forecast of 3-6 inches for most of southern lower Michigan.  The online weather sites show different amounts, some more, some less, but I am expecting the 3-6 inches.  What ever it is, it will be a messy drive for anyone who has to be out in it.  Thankfully, I’m not one of them.

Our 12:45 PM temperature is 29°F (-2°C), the humidity is 97%, and winds are from the ENE at 5-11  mph.  The dew point is 29°F (-2°C) and the pressure is 29.88 in (10.11.9 mb) and rising.  Visibility is 7 miles.  Sunrise was at 8:08 AM and sunset will be at 7:00 PM.  Yesterday’s high was 38°F (3°C) and the overnight low was 32°F (0°C).  Average temps for this date are 31°F / 21°F.
