Discussion

We are going to continue to experience relatively quiet weather over the next few days compared to our recent active weather pattern. In fact, the weekend is shaping up to be quite mild for this time of year with high temperatures on Saturday reaching the mid 50's and likely to the 50 degree mark on Sunday. Looking ahead to next week, however, it looks like the quieter weather pattern will come to an abrupt end. There are signs for a major storm to affect the eastern US by the middle of next week, but many details still have to be ironed out to determine precipitation type and amounts in the I-95 corridor - odds currently favor a mixed bag. This major storm will actually be the beginning of a relatively cold period from late February into mid-March as winter definitely has some punch left.
