We are in for another fairly tame week in the weather department. Two days ago was the 34th anniversary of the Blizzard of 78 highlighting the fact that early February is typically our most active period of the winter but this winter has been anything but typical.
Today will be mostly sunny as high pressure builds to our east. Overnight, a weak upper level storm approaches us from the south but most indications are that it stays too far south to bring any snowfall. Thursday and Friday will feature plenty of sunshine and very comfortable temperatures in the low 40.s. By Saturday, an strong cold front will approach from the west, marking the leading edge of some truely Arctic air. Some models indicate a small disturbance
forming near Long Island as the front passes by but right now it looks like it would form too late to bring any snowfall.
Either way, expect temperatures to begin falling by Sunday night, into the single digits in most places to even below 0 in elevated areas. Sunday night into Monday could see some record
breaking low temperatures and dew points. Of course, all of this cold and dry air will keep us storm free for the next 5-7 days.
