Good evening, folks. We’re putting the wraps on a really nice President’s Day with more of the good stuff to come over the next few days. This is part of a big up and down setup that will run through the end of the month and into early March.

Temps reach the mid and upper 50s Tuesday and then into the 60s for Wednesday. Gusty southwest winds will crank Wednesday into Thursday ahead of a storm system rolling into the region. Gusts may reach 40mph at times…

This system brings showers and a few thunderstorms in here on Thursday and will be followed up by a clipper on Saturday. That could spawn some light rain and light snow. Both systems show up on this animation…

The temps across the eastern half of the country go from much above normal to well below normal during this time…

Temps turn really mild behind that early next week with another blast of cold due by the end of the week. In between is likely a storm system that can bring some healthy thunderstorms and gusty winds. Check out the way too early wind gust forecast for that system…

Enjoy the evening and take care.
