Barry County Weather Forecast: What to Expect This Week
If you are as lucky as to find yourself in Barry County, you can’t help but wonder what the weather is going to do this weekend and early next week. Let us guide you through the future forecast so that you plan your commute accordingly – weekend, work commute on the weekday, or even deciding outfit of the day.
Thursday Evening: An Unsettled and Mild Evening
There are some night showers and thunderstorms tonight with a 30% chance of boiling over immediately at any given moment. As much as they won’t be an honest-to-goodness gully-buster stormy night by any means, the above-described faux showers still have potential to blow off occasionally, so it’s best to have that umbrella sitting by the front door in easy reach handy nearby – just in case. Skies will be generally cloudy with high temperatures in the comfortable 54°F range. South winds are around 16 mph, with occasional gusts to 28 mph.
Friday: Partly Mild, Light Rain, and Possible Thunderstorms
Friday starts slowly. There is a possibility of showers and thunderstorms early in the morning again, mostly before 8. So, your daily commute might be rainy. Otherwise, there is slight possibility of showers later in the late morning and early afternoon, though there is another area of rain and storms that can roll in after 5 p.m.
Skies will clear a bit with some scattered sunlight, and temperatures will climb to a pleasant high of around 77°F. Winds will continue south-southwest at around 16 mph with gusts to 26 mph. Generally, it’s a pretty safe bet to wear layers and maybe bring an umbrella with you if you’re out later tonight.
Friday Night: Rain Builds
By late at night on Friday, chances of rain are extremely high. Showers and thunderstorms are possible early in the evening, but the heavy rain and worst of the thunderstorm activity will happen from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. It won’t be a washout the entire night long, but it will likely happen, around 70%. Cloudy skies and cooler temperatures in the vicinity of around 48°F will ensue. Winds will be moderate, turning a bit southwest at 11-17 mph, still gusting to 26 mph. New rain totals won’t be widespread – a tenth to a quarter inch or so but heavier, locally developed showers will develop with thunderstorms.
Saturday: Cooler and Cloudier
The Saturday morning will start fairly wet with the rain showers having a 30% chance, mostly during the day up until 8 a.m., and then afterwards the cloudiness will be mostly cloudy. The highs as well will be fairly cold with only a high temperature of 57°F. Also, the winds will be moderating fairly significantly too, blowing around 11 mph west-northwest.
If you have plans to venture out this Saturday, it won’t be the brightest of Saturdays outside, but everything will be fine, especially the second part of the day because it will become lighter showers.
Saturday Night: Light Shower and Cold Dip
Evening, yes, but once more a 20% chance and not widespread. Treasure of Saturday night is the drop in temperature lows around 39°F. That’s definite definite jacket weather, so dress up warm if you’re running late getting in or rolling in early Sunday morning. The winds will shift again, northwest to northeast after midnight.
Sunday: Scattered Showers Under Partly Sunny Skies
Sunday is questionable once more. 30% chance of showers during the day but not at all a rain day. The sun shines through, and temperatures in the region would be approximately 56°F. Not a beach day by any means but bearable as a very much spring-idea-like sort of day.
Sunday Night: The Rain Returns
After a calmish Sunday, showers are likely to return overnight, mainly after 2 a.m. Expect mostly cloudy skies and lows near 45°F. Keep that raincoat or umbrella handy again if you’re out late or heading to work early Monday.
Monday: More Rain and a Bit of a Breeze
The workweek kicks off with a solid chance of rain, especially before 2 p.m. Monday’s forecast is mostly cloudy with showers likely and a high near 62°F. It’ll be a bit breezy too, so it’s one of those damp and windy spring days where you’ll want to keep warm and dry.
Monday Night and Tuesday: Calmer and Sunnier
Thankfully, the rain does seem to abate by Monday night, with no threat of scattered showers lingering after 8 p.m. Overnight lows plummet to the mid-40s.
Tuesday is going to be a great day – clear blue skies and nary a cloud in the heavens, with a forecast high of around 64°F. A nice respite from that wet start to the week!
Midweek Forecast: Uncertainty Returns
Tuesday night brings back some slight uncertainty, with a chance of showers returning under partly cloudy skies. The low will be around 47°F.
By Wednesday, we’re once again looking at a chance of rain, though nothing too dramatic. Highs will climb to about 70°F – nice and warm if the sun can break through. Skies stay partly sunny, though Wednesday night will turn mostly cloudy again with a low around 47°F.
Thursday: Partly Cloudy and Breezy
Only a couple miles away, Thursday is partly cloudy with a remarkable high of 68°F. Just a beautiful spring day to venture outside and enjoy, if only raindrops would slack up.
All in all, Barry County is in for a typical Midwest spring week – some rain, some sun, a few temperature swings, and a lot of cloud cover in between. Be prepared for quick changes, and keep your weather app handy so you’re not caught off guard. With showers on and off through the weekend and early next week, flexibility is your best friend.
Stay dry, stay safe, and enjoy warmer weather when it comes!
