DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 16-20)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Low pressure cuts across the South Coast region this morning before exiting and taking its rainfall with it. After some icing conditions from freezing drizzle & freezing rain in a good portion of the region we thankfully saw the temperature climb to above freezing from southeast to northwest during the overnight, avoiding what could have been a more serious icing situation, but as drier and colder air moves in tonight behind this system, we will indeed have to watch for the formation of black ice on any untreated surfaces that are still wet – and there will likely be quite a few. High pressure brings bright and cold weather to our region Wednesday before the next in a series of low pressure areas makes a run at us later Thursday, passing just south of the region early Friday. This system will have colder air to work with and start as snow, with a few to several inches likely before a flip to sleet \/ freezing rain \/ rain, the details of which will be worked out for the next two blog updates. This storm system exits later Friday and sets us up for a cold and dry start to the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
