Tuesday 1/29: Freezing rain in the morning and early afternoon, followed by a bit of rain in the late afternoon as temperatures rise; steadier rain beginning late evening and continuing overnight. Cloudy throughout the day. High 39, low 36.

Wednesday 1/30: Early AM showers, then eventual sunshine with very strong winds; becoming colder at night. High 43, low 21.

Thursday 1/31: Sunny and seasonably cold; becoming cloudy late with some snow and sleet. High 38, low 30.

Friday 2/1: Freezing rain to start, then clearing and quite windy. High 36, low 29.

[Stay tuned for updates, including school closing/delay predictions and precipitation amounts and types, on the Thursday-to-Friday system. Right now I’m going to say that Thursday evening’s commute and evening activities will be unaffected, but on Friday morning I’ll give it a 55% chance of delay and 15% chance of cancellation due to slick roadways. No appreciable frozen precipitation will result, and whatever is left over will melt over the weekend.]

The weekend: Nice and unseasonably mild with highs in the low 40s and lows in the mid to upper 20s.

Next week: More of the same; then colder toward the end of next week.

Beyond: The following weekend and the next week look cold, with highs struggling to reach freezing and lows in the teens much of the time. Next chances for snow seem to be February 8^th and 11^th, but given the duds we’ve been seeing this winter, don’t hold your breath…I am trying to accommodate those of you who have been pining (wishing in silence) and clamoring (wishing loudly, in my ear and email inbox) for a snow day!
