More Spring-Like Warmth Coming...

As we reach mid-February with no signs of real cold air during the next 7-10 days, are we done with any more Winter Chill?   For all you "cold air freaks", the answer is no.  In fact, the long range models (10-14 days) are strongly hinting that real cold air will return for Mardi Gras weekend lingering into Mardi Gras itself.  Way too soon to know the timing regarding rainfall, but I have previously mentioned the many late Mardi Gras that were late (in March) often had colder temps. than the previous 2-3 weeks in February.  I see that happening this year so don't put away your heavy weather gear yet.  We are not done with the cold air.

In the short term, highs will stay 70+ into next week and that will really kick in the greening of our yards.    Daily night and morning fog will return but I don't see any wide spread rainfall until after the weekend.   Stay tuned!
