Local View

Locally we can expect no end (at least for now) to the beautiful weather we've been experiencing just recently. Monday will be much cooler then Sunday was, but still warm for this time of year, It will be in the 30s, and there will be more clouds around. Tuesday a warm front that will pass south of us on Monday will return as a warm front Tuesday and bring us partly cloudy skies and warmer temperatures, I am going with lower 40s for Tuesday. Lows Tuesday night will only fall to the mid 20s, Wednesday will be very mild, with partly cloudy skies, I believe we have a shot at temperatures back into the middle 40s if not upper 40s, it will all depend on if fog forms Tuesday Night. At this point I believe fog will not be an issue until Wednesday night and I'm going with mid 40s. Lows Wednesday night will fall only into the 30s. Expect lots of melting snow and pounding of water on roads and in ditches this week, as we could loose over half our snow cover!

Monday, Mild & Breezy, with Partly Sunny with highs in the mid 30s. Monday Night, Partly Cloudy, lows in the low 20s.

Tuesday, Partly Cloudy and windy, winds gusting to 30MPH at times. Highs in the low 40s. Tuesday Night, Fog possible overnight, otherwise partly cloudy with lows in the mid 20s.

Wednesday, Very mild, Partly Cloudy with highs in the mid 40s. Wednesday Night, Fog and clouds developing, lows in the lower 30s.

Looking Ahead.

We get one more very mild day Thursday before significant changes can be seen. To end our very mild airmass we may have the potential for a developing snowstorm, it's too early to tell where and how much, but it has the chance of hitting the local area, possibly starting off as rain. Much colder weather follows behind it Saturday the 19th, it's back to highs in the 20s and lows in in the single digits. We dry out for the rest of the weekend, with fair February temps. Then Wednesday the 23rd the a possible strong storm system, with lots of snow passes just southeast of the area, it may be close enough to effect us with some good chances at plowible snow. It cools back off for the starting of the week of the 24th. Later that week to the starting of March, warmer and snowier weather moves in. This pattern shows a potentially active rest of February. In conclusion, people should not be getting used to the current nice weather, because it wont it sticking around, the good news is, there doesn't appear to be any more major arctic outbreaks on the long term forecast.
