Forecast Discussion

The streak of above average afternoon high temps continues. The last day with a below average high was January 29th. Another day of sunshine is on the way, and temps will be above freezing. The above average streak will end tomorrow, as a arctic old front will arrive tonight, and provide a few flurries. Temps will struggle to rise on Friday, and a below 0 start can be expect on Saturday morning.

The arctic air will not be able to 'lock' in, and a nice rebound by the start of your work week. The next weather system will move through on Monday and doesn't have a lot of moisture to work with, but February hasn't had any measurable snowfall yet. That could change Monday into Tuesday. Remember Valentine's Day is less than a week away.
