Strap Yourselves In, Wild Swings Coming...

The current weather pattern that is keeping most of California dry and much of the Great Lakes & NE snowbound shows no signs of changing.  In fact, the ridge over the west may sharpen as the trough over the east deepens.   What that means is the widespread Arctic air mass will start to invade the lower 48 with snow & Ice storms moving along the southern boundary.   Locally, we’ll enjoy a warming trend for Saturday & Sunday before the big chill arrives on Monday.  RIGHT NOW, it doesn’t look like any major freeze threat is coming next week, but that will depend on the strength of any storm that might form.    A big southern storm could drawn down some frigid air for next weekend, but a lot has to come together for that to happen.  Stay tuned!
