Our February “heat wave” continues for the rest of the work week as high pressure at the surface and aloft continues to be in control of our weather. Changes are in store for the weekend, though.

Despite our freezing start — temperatures dropped into the upper 20s briefly this morning at the airport — we will recover nicely into the low 60s this afternoon with a good mix of sun and clouds.

Hang in there, everyone — we have one more day of chilly, POLAR VORTEX-adjacent cold before we get into a rather nice warming trend to kick off February.

After a rainy and windy start to Thursday, we’ll settle in to a cool and mostly sunny weekend with high pressure firmly in control of our weather.

Buckle up: We’ve got quite a temperature rollercoaster (and an unsettled pattern in general) headed our way over the next couple weeks.

We’ve been fortunate to catch a bit of a break from the wet weather over the last few days. Unfortunately, this respite looks to come to an end this weekend as a storm system approaches from the west.
