DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 2-6)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A fair and seasonably chilly day today before we experience a short-lived but strong blast of arctic air, to last about 30 hours. Not much has changed regarding the timing, duration, and expected intensity of the cold \/ wind. We’re looking at an early-morning cold frontal passage on Friday, maybe a passing snow shower with the front, a temperature fall all day, increasingly dangerous wind chill values, the core of the cold going through Friday night and very early Saturday, then a slow temperature recovery and diminishing of wind later Saturday through Saturday night, and a return to near or even slightly above normal temperatures with more cloudiness on Sunday. A fairly quiet and milder stretch will be ours for the early part of next week. And if you’re wondering what is prognosticated beyond this 5-day period, I have news for you. Just moments ago (as of the time I’m writing), the world’s most famous groundhog, Punxatawney Phil, emerged from his winter’s nap to see a shadow and declare that we have 6 more weeks of winter – that is assuming that winter actually starts any time soon around here. \ud83d\ude09 Well, I guess our reminder is coming in a hard-hitting way in 24 hours, so there you go. It just isn’t going to hang around as our overall very mild winter goes on. If you want to know what’s going on around here beyond this 5-day period, read on after you get through the detailed forecast just below…and Happy Grounhog Day… ……again………. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n
