Forecast for the two-week period following Monday, 14 February 2011
My good people,
I write to give you only good news about the weather, not to alert you to potential wintry weather headaches and scheduling snafus. Enjoy…
Monday 2/14: quite windy (especially in the evening) with periods of clouds and sun. High 49, but wind chills will be in the 30s. Look for falling temperatures late.
Tuesday 2/15: plenty of sunshine but breezy and colder. High 38, low 22.
Wednesday 2/16: partly sunny and milder. High 48, low 34.
Thursday 2/17: plenty of sunshine and milder still. High 56, low 38.
Friday 2/18: sun with some breaks of clouds and milder still, provoking such comments as, “Spring has sprung!” and “It’s a heatwave!” and “Hot damn – I can finally wear my tube top and Daisy Dukes to the mall!” High 63, low 39.
Next weekend (the 19th and 20th) will be a bit cooler – highs in the low 50s on Saturday (but windy conditions will make it feel cooler) and the low 40s on Sunday.
Next week starts off rainy and cool; some wet snow could mix in overnight into Tuesday as temperatures fall below freezing, but I see only slush (no travel or school disruptions) at this point. But Wednesday 2/23 – when the high looks like it will only just reach the freezing mark – is when we could have a return of some winter weather. Of course, I’ll keep an eye on that and let you know if it’s anything to be concerned about. Right now, I think the overall warming pattern will be too strong to allow this system to do any winter weather damage. Following this storm, we’ll see plenty of sunshine but lingering coldness – highs only in the low to mid 30s on Thursday and Friday.
The following weekend brings the chance of more precipitation, but it looks like things will be warm enough by then to render this wetness in liquid form only.
Stay tuned for updates!
