February 4 Weather Wet Snow Mix Friday Morning Then Bitter Cold Next Week

Thursday February 4

This is the first day of the week with no snow or ice falling from the sky.  After a cold start, it should feel better with sunshine and seasonable temperatures.

The system arriving tonight is a small part of a larger storm.  It will bring a snow/rain mix before dawn Friday, but surface temps may remain too mild to be an issue.

That Sunday storm has on supporter to try and bring it back…

More confidence on the arctic air arriving next week through the middle of the month.

GFS Model: Trying To Bring Storm Back

 

 

ECMWF Model: Keeps The Storm Offshore….

But it is closer than the prior run

 

Outlook

Did you see my report last night about the arctic air?  NOAA is in agreement, but it’s hard to think otherwise.

The core of the cold air will be delayed a few days without that coastal storm to pull it in Sunday.

If the GFS Model is on to something with the coastal, then it might be a day earlier…

This will last 1 to 2 weeks.
