The 1st ten days of January 2012 have seen 7 days with highs 70+. That's about to change as a stronger cold front arrives early on Thursday bringing freezing temperatures to the N-Shore Fri-Sunday mornings with near freezing temps on the S-Shore. Right now is looks no worse that the freeze of a week ago as the core of the cold will quickly shift to our north and east. Since the upper flow pattern remains progressive (unlike the blocking pattern of east coast trough from 2011), our bouts with the cold air will not linger. 70+ warmth should return by next Tuesday.
Looking down the road, there are signs that late January into February could turn much colder over the Great Lakes & Northeast. How far south that cold gets remains to be seen. Stay tuned!
