Thursday 1/31: sunny throughout the day; increasing clouds this evening. Light freezing rain developing late (perhaps 11pm or so) and perhaps mixing with snow at times, continuing on and off overnight. Some periods of heavier precipitation are likely toward Friday morning. High 38, low 27.
Friday 2/1: Sleet and freezing rain in the morning have the potential to make roads slick for the morning commute; becoming all rain—heavy at times—by late morning and ending in the late afternoon or early evening. Clearing a bit late with high winds. High 40, low 31.
Probability of delay Friday: 65%. (Slick road surfaces and ice-coated limbs and power lines, particularly in rural or hilly areas, could make it a dicey commute.)
Probability of cancellation Friday: 25%.
This weekend: Partly cloudy, mild and pleasant; highs in the mid 40s, perhaps reaching 50 on Sunday; lows in the upper 20s.
Next week: We start the week with mild conditions; rain is possible (no frozen precipitation) on Monday and Tuesday. Beyond that, it cools off a bit, but no deep freeze—highs will be in the upper 30s and low 40s for the most part.
Beyond: Colder the following weekend (February 9th and 10th) with highs in the low 30s and lows in the teens, setting up our next really good chance for wintry weather.
Next good chance for snow: Monday 2/11 and Tuesday 2/12 or thereabouts.
