Next Week

Winter cold will ease off and give us a mild break, before the cold returns late in the week.  We have one weak system to deal with Sun night and may give us a snow shower or flurry, but no likely. Then the next one will be Wed-Thu. This will be a rain storm for us, rain/sleet for some to our north, and even a snowstorm for parts of Midwest and Upstate NY. After that it returns to cold. 

Details: 

Saturday: Cloudy then partly sunny. Gusty winds at times. Cold. 18. 
Sunday: Mostly sunny. Late clouds. Less wind. 22. 
Monday: Mostly sunny. Milder. 32. 
Tuesday: Mostly sunny. 38. 
Wednesday: Cloudy. Showers developing. 44. 
Thursday: Rain. 48. 
Friday: Clearing. Breezy. Colder. 35. 

Side Notes on "Big Storm" for those interested.

1.  Forecast was very good from 10 days, 5 days, and 2 days out. 
2. I resisted the idea of a double barreled low pressure system. Thus I over predicted the snow by an inch (measured 1.5" total Friday, so 2-4" was a little high, but not horrible). 
3. Big storm is hitting coastal areas hard, but for the vast majority of the northeast, its a windy storm that will bring a moderate to nothing snowfall. Again it is the coastal regions within 50 miles of coast that are getting hit hard. Beyond that a nice snow for some. 
4. Three strong storms this month: one too far south, one too far west with warm air, and now one too far east to bring heavy snow. When is it our turn?  Or are we a snow-hole this year?  
5. Winter is not over. Cold February coming with storm chances.

Enjoy.
