Much Mischief in the Long-Range Pattern

Mostly clear skies prevailed overnight as low temperatures ranged from the mid twenties to the mid thirties statewide.

Northwest winds will continue to usher in highly modified arctic air into the state. Tonight will likely be the coldest night of the winter thus far as temps will fall into the teens and twenties.

A warming trend will begin by midweek and allow SEARK temps to rebound back into the 50’s and lower 60’s by week’s end.

Looking 2-3 weeks down the road,  the tame winter weather to date looks to become a bit more beastly as a Cahirs Connection ridge is progged to set up, which would funnel polar air down across Canada and into Northwestern U.S. first, and further south and east as time goes by. 

As the ridge in the Southeast struggles to hold on, a fight will ensue.  We could have an tumultuous end of January and  beginning of February. You know I will be watching!!
