Today we see mostly cloudy conditions with milder temperatures, highs will be around 5-8 degrees higher than what was recorded yesterday. High pressure will be moving off the coast and a southwest flow will dominate, there is an outside chance of a flurry of sprinkle but most areas will stay dry.
A weak cold front will cross the area tonight but Monday’s temperatures will still be slightly above normal, the day will start off sunny with increasing cloudiness later in the day.
A rather strong storm system will give us mostly rain Tuesday into Wednesday although inland may see a wintry mix Tuesday morning, temperatures will become quite mild late Tuesday into Wednesday. A cold front will cross the area Wednesday afternoon.
Colder air but dry Thursday and Friday as high pressure moves into the area.
The cold air will be short lived as milder than normal air will once again be with us next weekend along with a chance of some showers.
February is usually our snowiest month but there is no signs of any significant snowstorms for at least the next two weeks.
