A Stormy Weekend . . . .

Today Will Be A Winner . . . .

Today Will Be A Winner . . . .

Today is shaping  up to be a really nice day.  It’s about as perfect as you can get in the moth of March in Michigan.  The “bomb cyclone” is expected to remain well to our south, although we will have some pretty strong winds from it.  There is a very small chance for severe weather, but that doesn’t appear likely at this time.  We could see heavy rain in some places on Saturday, and we could see our first thunderstorm….

A Cold Wind Blows . . . .

A Cold Wind Blows . . . .

We woke to a sky full of altocumulas clouds.  Now we are seeing clearing in the west and the sun is trying to shine.  Winds are the issue today and they feel icy when  you’re out in them.  Yesterday was quite nice and highs reached into the  upper 50s.  We won’t be that lucky today. Our 2:15 PM temperature is 45°F (7°C), the humidity is 40%, and winds are from the NE at 10-16 mph.  The wind chill is 39°F…

Spring Is In The Air . . .

Spring Is In The Air . . .

Except for the wind, today is beautiful.  It’s a little cooler than yesterday, but still quite nice.  My husband was out for a few  hours yesterday playing with his lawn tractor, shedding some of his cabin fever.  I went out but didn’t stay long.  The wind was cold even though the temp was in the mid 60s.  Our extended forecast is for more warm weather and Friday could reach the 70s.  Unfortunately, warm days this time of year sometimes brings…

Sunny And Warmer . . .

Sunny And Warmer . . .

Today will be the type of March day that we all look forward to.  They are few and far between, but when they happen, it’s wonderful.  What’s even better is that this entire week will be great, and we could even see high temperatures near 70°F by week’s end.  Unfortunately, we are already being warned that their could be severe weather with it. Our 11:30 AM temperature is 44°F, the humidity is 64%, and skies are clear.  Winds are from…

Heading Into Another Warmup . . . .

After the past two very cold days, we can look forward to more warm weather in the days ahead.  In fact, Monday and Tuesday are expected to reach into the 60s possibly.  Today will still not be that warm, but at least we should see quite a bit of sun.  That always makes a day more pleasant. Our 11 AM temperature is 29°F, the humidity is 60%, an skies are clear.  Winds are from the west at 3-6 mph, and…

A Return Of Winter . . .

A Return Of Winter . . .

After some rain showers dropped a little over half an inch of rain yesterday, it turned into snow after dark, and dropped half an inch of snow.  A little has melted  but some still remains on my deck  Temperatures are cold enough that it isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.  The wind has decreased somewhat, but still too strong for my liking.  There are a few breaks in the clouds and a little sun would be nice. Our 2;45 PM temperature…
