Upcoming winter weather potentials
The first chance of some wintry weather comes this evening (7-11pm or so), when we could see some flurries or a brief period of light snow. The clouds will clear overnight and usher in a partly sunny and cool Monday with highs in the upper 30s.
Tuesday will be pleasant and milder with a high in the low 50s; Wednesday will be milder still with a high in the mid 50s. We could see a few rain showers on Wednesday.
I'm tracking a Nor'easter that could come into play on Thursday evening into Friday and cause major disruptions. As of now, though, given the snowless and mild pattern that's dominating, I don't think it's going to pan out. I'll call it partly sunny and cooler with highs in the mid 40s on Thursday, low 40s on Friday. It's a "miss" for now, but stay tuned for updates. (If we get anything, it'll be plain rain.)
Saturday and Sunday are much colder with plenty of clouds and highs at or below freezing. In fact, we'll see a shift from milder conditions to a frigid blast.
Most concerning to me is what I'm seeing for Monday, February 6th. It looks like we'll be dealing with snow and ice for the bulk of that day, and school disruptions seem likely. The high will only make it to 30.
And then... another potential snowstorm for February 8th-9th.
In sum, there are signs that wintry weather may actually return to winter. Many people have said they could use a snow day (or at least, and preferably, a delay). I'd venture to say we'll see both in the next two weeks...
