DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 1-5)
\nWe’ve gotten through the cold outbreak, which was a brief glancing blow by the edge of a piece of the Polar Vortex, which hit the Midwest much harder with extreme cold. While today will still be cold, it will be easier to take than yesterday with several degrees added to yesterday’s readings and somewhat less wind. A milder westerly air flow comes in Saturday but there will be some cloudiness to go along with it. High pressure will be in general control but a surface boundary will also be around late in the weekend pushing more to the north early in the week. A cold front comes through at some point during Tuesday, but it looks like this system may be moisture started, and we’ll have a better chance of rain showers from a trough that comes before it earlier in the day. It’s obviously several days away so the details may change.
