DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 23-27)
\nHigh pressure offshore and a slow-moving cold front approaching from the west today brings milder but mainly cloudy weather today. Wet weather arrives west to east during this evening as the front draws near, and a wave of low pressure forming on it and moving up along it will enhance the wet weather through most of Thursday. We’ll have to watch for a concentrated line of downpours and gusty winds associated with this system as it has been strongly indicated by short-range guidance. Rough idea on timing of this feature, if it occurs, would be late morning to mid afternoon from west to east across the region. By Thursday evening, the wet weather will come to an end as the cold front starts to push offshore after the low pressure wave goes by. This will bring drier and seasonably colder weather in for Friday. During this warm-up, we should be able to get rid of a fair amount of our tundra-like snow\/ice left on the ground by the Sunday storm and frozen in place by the arctic air that followed it. Speaking of arctic air, we’ll get a taste of that, but to a lesser degree, by Saturday. And then by Sunday a disturbance should throw some snow showers into the mix. This doesn’t look like an important storm at this point.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 28-FEBRUARY 1)
\nA potential storm during the January 28-29 period but not sure if all the ingredients will come together for a significant event as it is too far away to be sure. Leaning toward dry\/cold for the end of January \/ beginning of February but may have to watch additional storminess to the south and east.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 2-6)
\nSomewhat active pattern so may have to watch 1 or 2 weather systems in this time period and with the temperatures still trying to average below normal that would leave the door open for snow chances (don’t interpret this as “here come the blizzards!” because it’s not really what I mean). Been monitoring for a potential pattern retrogression and moderation, but it appears that would attempt to take place after this time period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
