Weekend highs will be in the low 70’s. Dry through Friday.   Spotty showers arrive Friday night Scattered showers and thunderstorms become more likely Saturday into Monday.   In fact, the main event will likely be Sunday night into Monday morning.  Total rainfall amounts over the weekend could be impressive in spots. Here’s my brief forecast discussion.

Expect the low to mid 60’s on Thursday, and  70-72 Friday.   Spotty showers arrive Friday night.  Scattered showers and thunderstorms become more likely Saturday into Monday.   In fact, the main event will likely be Sunday night into Monday morning.  

Are you ready for another weekend storm system?

  Here’s the potential rainfall through Monday.  There will be a series of impulses through the weekend.  When you add up the total amounts, it could be quite impressive, especially over the northern 2/3 of the month. 

Here’s the 10 day Model Blend Temperature trend.  No Arctic Air right away.   

Won’t say much about the potential late month Arctic Invasion..EXCEPT to say the EURO Upper Air Pattern from Feb 22 to March 7 continues to be very supportive for a drastic change.  We’ll see.  The models struggle with these drastic changes.

The Canadian model starts to hint at the start of a downturn after mid month.  Stay tuned.  We’re watching.
