Our parade of cold fronts continue with the latest ushering in breezy conditions and a healthy chill tonight. The coldest temperatures will likely come tomorrow night with a nice moderating trend commencing Wednesday. Look for temperatures to dip into the mid-upper 30s tonight with wind chills possibly pushing into the upper 20s tomorrow morning. Lots of sunshine with breezy and cool conditions can be expected for our Tuesday with highs suppressed in the lower 50s. Nearly calm winds and clear skies Tuesday night will set the stage for excellent radiational cooling through Wednesday morning with a light freeze and moderate frost expected for Wednesday morning. Highs will reach back into the mid-upper 50s Wednesday and should rocket back into the upper 60s to near 70 courtesy of southwest winds Thursday. Highs will likely top out in the low-mid 70s Friday under partly cloudy skies with the next front scheduled to produce scattered showers early Saturday and usher in cooler temperatures for the weekend. The pattern will see more temperature swings into early next week with a warm front generating showers Monday and another cool front possibly generating showers and storms by Tuesday. Of note, after Wednesday morning, I do not see any significant freezes for the rest of the month. In fact, we have indeed passed our climatological “dead of winter” and with the current pattern shaping up, it looks on the mild side through the last days of this month into early February. We are by no means done with winter, and colder air could make another run by the end of the first week of February. The next few fronts in the near term look certainly milder and not of arctic origin so our winter coats will get be getting a little rest!
