Feast or Famine...

That's the way weather usually works. Rarely do we get "normal" but rather one extreme or the other. Averaged out produces a "normal", but that doesn't happen too often. So it should come as no surprise that we have been riding the roller coaster much of this winter. Sometimes the cold locks in for several weeks, but so far, that has not been the case. Unless the east coast trough returns, our progressive pattern will keep the roller coaster ride going.

In the short term, a weak front will approach on Saturday stalling out just to our north. A few showers might be around, but the main storms will stay well north and east. That front lifts northward on Sunday keeping us in the warm air sector. Highs both days will flirt with record warmth (81 MSY & A.P.). Another cold front should make it thru late Sunday night bringing a few showers but not much cooler air. That front lifts back northward on Tuesday with a stronger system coming late Thursday & Friday with the potential for some severe storms next week. Stay tuned!

Enjoy this January weekend OUTDOORS as Winter stays far to our north.
