DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 3-7)
\nWell we may as well get the nicest day of the week out of the way, right? A warm front will clear the area this morning and High pressure centered way down near the Gulf Coast and Florida extends its influence northward far enough to bring decent weather to our area today, and then things will change. Then comes the parade of lows. The first approaches Tuesday and departs Wednesday as a fairly weak low pressure wave moving over or even just south of the region, but there will be enough mild air in place that this system’s precipitation will be mainly rain. However cold air coming into the region as it departs may flip it to snow with a small accumulation early Wednesday before we get some clearing in. Hot on its heels comes another low from the southwest and this one will start as snow, with some accumulation during the first part of Thursday, before a messy flip to sleet, freezing rain, and rain occurs as warmer air moves in both aloft and at the surface. And behind this comes yet another, stronger low pressure area that will cross the region by the middle of the day on Friday, with this system bringing mainly rain. But we will have to watch for a flip back to snow on the back side of this one as more cold air arrives. Timing is uncertain for that, and being at the end of the 5-day period we have a few days to fine-tune it.
