DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 13-17)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’ll continue to be in the battle zone between entrenched arctic air over a good portion of the country and a warmer southeastern US due to the appearance of a high pressure ridge, finally, long after it was initially expected. While none of the low pressure areas moving along this boundary will be particularly strong, we do have 3 to contend with during this 5-day period, the first of which comes by tonight and early Sunday with light precipitation, the second during Monday again with fairly light precipitation, and the third and most moisture-laden system to follow later Monday night through Tuesday. The biggest question to answer with these is how much warm air will come in aloft to result in a variety of precipitation rather than mostly snow. At the surface, we will be on the cold side of the boundary for the duration, but that means that if we warm up aloft we’ll deal with at least sleet becoming part of the deal, and if we warm up enough we’ll end up with a freezing rain issue where surface temperatures remain below freezing. So this will be the puzzle to solve… Meanwhile, this unsettled stretch will be book-ended by dry weather during the day today and Wednesday, following the departure of the third system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 18-22)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another low pressure area likely brings unsettled weather with a variety of precipitation possible in the February 18-19 window, favoring cold solution. Fair, cold weather to follow for the February 20-21 weekend before next system has to be watched for the end of the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 23-27)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
