Good Tuesday, everyone. We have a cold front working into the region today, and this will bring some big temps wings over the next few days. This front initially hangs around for a few days before finally deciding to push to our south and east, allowing colder air to move in.

Temps today can reach the low and mid 50s in the south with low 40s in the north. Skies stay mainly dry, but I can’t rule out a shower in the north. Winds will stay pretty gusty.

The front then slowly drops southward on Wednesday and brings a healthy temp gradient with it. It should also be able to squeeze out some rain and snow in the north. The GFS is now catching on to this potential…

Much colder air then settles in for Thursday and Friday with 30s for highs. A weak system shears out as it moves in from the west and could spawn some snowflakes.

The weekend system continues to look messy as it moves in Saturday night into Super Bowl Sunday. Rain, snow and a mix is likely with this, but the exact details of this system are days away from being known. The current GFS shows some winter weather impacting out region…

Following that, the GFS shows some big dips in the jet stream through early February…

That setup can feature additional wild temperature swings that can produce a lot of ugly weather. From 70 and strong storms to teens and snow?  As someone who has been yearning for true spring for the past 6 weeks, that look does not make me a very happy camper.

I will update things later today. Have a good one and take care.
