Continuing this thought, todays 12z NAM has high temps(21z) here for the next 4 days of 33, 33, 33 and 32. Can't wait to see how much they are going to bust by
Ended up tied for the 12th coldest February here. The mild last week brought us warmer than 2014 and 2015. Snowfall was slightly below average(10.4" vs the 12.4" average) but precip overall was about half of average (0.8" vs 1.5" average).
after a brief colder shot early next week there are signs that the middle and end of next week could get downright mild, with 50s and 60s getting at least into southern Wisconsin
made it up to at least 37 today. Didn't reach our high until 5 and 6 pm. Point forecast only has us dropping down to 34 tonight with SW winds. Should help melting go through the night
clouds held on strong through the morning but the sun has started to break out within the last half hour. Expecting a jump into the mid 30s soon. It'll be our first time above 32 since January 21!
It's going to be real close to see if we end up colder than February 2015 here. If we do end up colder then it'll be the coldest February since 1936.
We have to average colder than 26.3 over the next 7 days to be colder than 2015.
After a brief cold shot at the beginning of next week models are keying in on warmer than average temps flooding the region starting around the 3rd of March. Of course areas N of I80 will have to melt off a heck of a snowpack before the full warming potential can be realized
