DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 17-21)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many times we talk about a “break in the action” in reference to a short quiet period of weather in the middle of an active stormy pattern, but this time we had the opposite, a short-lived stormy period, i.e., one important storm system moving through yesterday, and now it’s back to a quiet pattern in which only minor disturbances cause minimal precipitation chances but otherwise it remains generally dry. The blocking pattern we’ve been in now for about a week will remain in place. The difference this time is it adjusts itself enough to allow a trend to colder weather here – not the brutal cold that much of Asia & Europe have seen in recent days, but a trend to a near to below normal temperature pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 22-26)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blocking continues. A weak system may produce a few snow showers early in the period. We will watch for a storm system to survive a little better as it approaches later in the period, but it’s far too soon to have any certainty on this threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 27-31)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jury’s out on blocking. We may see it weaken or even break down, although odds still favor seasonably cold to slightly colder than normal and on the drier side. It’s a very low confidence outlook and will continue to monitor the pattern drivers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
