Well the boring, but cold week that we just endured went out with a couple flurries this morning.  Just Enough to notice in the air.  Sadly, this coming week will be more of the same; only a bit warmer.

Flow across the North American Continent is decidedly split at the moment with the Polar Jet Stream residing up in Canada and the Sub-Tropical Jet Stream staying well to our south.  Which is why we have had such dry and boring weather around these parts.

This looks to continue through the first half of the week and it isn’t until possibly Friday that we may have a chance at something.  But that in itself if going to be a big question mark because it is so far out in time and we will have to monitor the area of High Pressure we will be under to see just how stubburn of a feature it is going to be.

But looking past this 7 day forecast, things are slowly looking up in terms of winter returning to our region.  As we head towards the second half of January things should become a little more active and we should begin to see our chances of snow on the rise.

As for now, look for the dry weather we have had to continue as temperatures begin to moderate slightly above normal.  Don’t expect any high temperatures near 50 like some were advertising earlier, but temperatures in the upper 30s and low 40s are still above normal for this time of year.
