2/4/2012 Tranquility For a While... A look at February

A look at the February Weather in Boston.  The average temperature rises by the end of the month! There is a gain of 73 minutes of daylight.

Saturday forecast:  A few clouds will pass through as can be seen on this mornings visible image. Temperatures will rise to the lower 40s today with some good sunshine. A storm that will track through the Carolinas and Virginia will bring some high clouds to the area, but no rain or snow is expected here in New England.

high Temperatures for Saturday

2/3/12 Winter to Make Special Apperance Next Week!

Maybe the groundhog knew something, when he predicted 6 more weeks of winter (and yes, it is 6 weeks {5 days as pointed out}  til the Spring Equinox).

A very tranquil, quiet weather pattern will take hold over the Northeast for the next week with the next chance of any rain or snow arriving next Sunday, February 12.  Temperatures will remain seasonal with no extreme highs or lows for the upcoming week.

For today... however, it will  be a NORMAL February 3rd day with the high temperature reaching the normal high for this date.  Which is 37 in Boston

Friday will feature a normal February day for most of New England.

Outlook:  What will happen though is that some of the intense cold air that has been building over Alaska will finally push its way eastward and by  next weekend, will park itself for a few days over Maine actually.  This weather should remain in place for roughly a week or so.

Temperatures for next Sunday. Showing how the cold air will spill in from the Arctic into New England.

Some of the coldest air will remain over Maine, NH and VT, but it will be chilly here, so winter should make a return!
