DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 23-27)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And now we get to enjoy a couple milder days as we head into the middle of the final week of February, but the price we’ll pay is quite a bit of cloudiness as we have rapidly moving systems rippling along the jet stream flow – one disturbance today, which may produce a brief shower of rain or snow over the interior hills and maybe a sprinkle of rain along the coastal plain, and a cold front which will arrive from the west Wednesday night. We get more sun for Thursday and Friday but the price for that will be a return to colder weather, including wind on Thursday behind that cold front as its parent low intensifies while heading into southeastern Canada. At least Friday will be more tranquil courtesy high pressure. Along comes the next low pressure area for Saturday. It doesn’t look like a strong system, and milder air moving in along with it should mean whatever does fall will be primarily in the form of rain, although we cannot rule out a bit of frozen precipitation at the start, depending on the timing of the arrival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 28 \u2013 MARCH 4)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The back half of the final weekend of February will see a return to dry weather between departing low pressure and approaching high pressure, but it will probably be a windy\/chilly day too for February 28. The early days of March look changeable both in weather and temperature including the risk of a very sharp shot of arctic air, but I’m not even going to attempt day-by-day at this point as the most reliable guidance we have is in high disagreement with their individual depictions. Will re-evaluate this for the next update and give it another try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 5-9)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We still have a lot to sort out here. Looks like a generally westerly flow but plenty to track including at least a couple disturbances and the possibility of an additional strong shot of cold air from Canada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
