Expect conditions mild to start, then cooler

Ithink the first thing I need to point out is that the usual temperature range for this time of the year is now getting warmer, which means we are past the middle of winter and heading toward spring! That is pretty much how this forecast looks. It doesn’t look like the overall pattern we’ve been

Cool start to the week, then mild

It looks more and more like winter will visit us during this forecast period. While things do look like they’ll get colder, it doesn’t look like we’ll see temperatures much colder than average during this forecast period — but to us so far this winter, it will feel cold! Weather for the first part of


Dry pattern to continue, but with cooler temperatures

Split In Long-Range Forecasts

Another month has gone by and we are either about to enter spring or we have another month of winter left. As usual for the end of the month, we’ll take a look back at February’s weather and then peer ahead to see if we will see an early arrival of spring or if winter
