Forecast: The “Polar Vortex” pattern? It’s here early this Fall/Winter. That means, unseasonably cold weather. But since it didn’t happen in, say, January, it’s not as intensely cold as it would be, then. It does mean that, the cold weather this week, continues. A warming trend begins Friday, lasts through Saturday, before another piece of it catches our area Sunday & Monday. After that, it retreats, and we warm up dramatically and for awhile.
As for precipitation, just flurries tonight, and maybe a period of snow Sunday with that next shot of re-enforcing cold air.
