Monday February 12 2018

This pattern is the gift that keeps on giving. The rain never really departed and we still have it this morning splitting our region in half from around I-95 and eastward. The warm air is with us as well to start the day but it will not stay as the cooler temperatures are following the rains departure. So, dress like its a normal February day even though this morning is warm. We’ve already hit our high temperatures.

This will be our first week of the year without a nearby winter weather related school delay. Valentines Day will be seasonably chilly just in time for you to show off your Love Snow shirts. But, the outlook for the majority of the next two weeks is warm, winter is not done. But it may feel like it when you see the temperature outlook. The pendulum may very well swing back out way in March. But in the meantime we can ease up on the cabin fever.

Storm Animation:

Another rain event later this week: Wednesday evening through Friday morning. A similar set up but should be less rain and flooding. Next weekend appears to be dry and mild.

Temperature Outlook

The majority of the next two weeks will be above average, but I do not believe that winter is done. The swing back to the cold side of the jet is likely in March
