Colder Weather on the Way

  By

And so it begins, our transition from Fall into Winter. The unsettled weather that will impact our region over the next several days will have a significant impact on temperatures moving forward. Behind the storm on Thursday, cold arctic air will begin building south into Canada and the Mid-West. This is the first time this season that true arctic air has made it’s way down from the Polar region. The good news? Temperatures should remain generally in the upper 30’s/lower 40’s during the day and there are still no signs of any Winter storms, but with cold air always comes the risk of snow.

One thing is clear at this point: This December does not look to be a repeat of last December’s of record warmth.

Fall Update

  By

As many have pointed out, I have not posted any updates in awhile. Why you ask? Well simply, there has not been much to discuss as it relates to weather in our region. We continue to transition from Summer->Fall->Winter. This year, the transition has been fairly steady, unlike recent years where we have seen wild swings in weather. Moving forward it looks like much of the same with seasonable weather and no major events on the horizon. As we continue to transition to winter, I will provide updates as impactful events approach.

A note about these winter outlooks and forecasts you may see: Take them with a grain of salt at best. While many skilled forecasters try to project the coming winter, they are only making educated guesses. I do not wish to take anything away from them, but the reality is that we won’t know much about the winter pattern until December at the earliest. Last winter, the pattern didn’t come into focus until January.
