6-10 day temperature outlook

Now that the first 7 days of February are done let’s take a longer look at the weather. After a cold night tonight  and chilly day tomorrow, we should enter a milder period the the next week. After that the above map shows we have a better than average chance for above normal temperatures for the 6-10 outlook

For the same 6-10 day period of above normal temperatures looks to be an active period precipitation wise

8-14 day temp outlook

Looking a little bit further we still have a slightly above normal chance of warmer temperatures

And the 8-14 day period looks active to our north

Beyond that, for the rest of February into early March there are some questions. The bulk of the cold air over the north pole is forecast to split into two. One half is forecast to head south into the northern US. If this happens, it could not only provide cooler temperatures but setup an active storm track at the end of the month into early March. If it wasn’t for this potential, I would say we are close to being over the worse part of our winter season.
