January Thaw…

Synopsis:

A January thaw will be with us for the next several days. A welcome relief as we’ve been below freezing for two weeks.

High pressure will dominate through Thursday with tranquil conditions and readings well above freezing. By Thursday, the return flow around the high will allow the mercury to reach the lower 50s. The average high is 38º.

A significant ridge will develop with the jet stream this will allow a Southerly flow to develop ahead of the front and storm system. Very warm air will work up from the South. Rain is likely Friday and Saturday with the approaching systems. Highs will be in the 50s!  Snow melt for sure.

Colder air behind the low will move in for Sunday. Enjoy the break now!

Stay tuned.
