DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 7-11)
\nA frontal boundary will remain just to the south during the day today as a little wave of low pressure along it helps hold a light northerly air flow in and colder air at the surface. This front will push northward tonight in advance of a stronger low passing west of the region, but this low’s cold front will follow quickly. All this means unsettled weather with areas of drizzle\/fog today and a period of rain tonight, then a round of rain showers Friday morning and midday. After the cold front goes by a drying-out process will get underway along with wind Friday afternoon, and by Friday night cold air will be coming back in noticeably after a fairly mild day. We then will see a cold\/dry weekend with blustery conditions Saturday between departing low pressure and approaching high pressure, and more tranquil Sunday as high pressure moves overhead. We’ve been watching for a stretch of unsettled weather beginning about Monday, but at the moment it looks like the initial push of moisture will be suppressed to the south with just a risk of a little very light snow to start the new week.

DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 12-16)
\nPotential storminess later February 12 into February 13 but early indications are that this system will travel through the Great Lakes and produce mix\/rain here. Will keep an eye on it. Drier, seasonably cold weather follows for February 14-15 and we may be watching another storm threat with cold air in place by February 16 but early odds favor a suppression of this system south of the region. Again anything beyond a few days is quite low confidence so will have to watch for changes in the outlook.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 17-21)
\nDry start and end to the period, watching for a system mid period but no feel for any detail this far out. Temperatures near normal overall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
