Well it's pretty clear now that we won't see much precipitation from what originally appeared to be a big storm for us tomorrow and Tuesday. The main area of low should track off the coast, in the wake of a cold front inching through the area tomorrow night and Tuesday morning. Ahead of the front, temperatures will be well up into the 50s to near 60 again tomorrow...but then the chill builds back in on Tuesday. The front will bring a few showers tomorrow night, and the model data shows some precipitation for us on Tuesday, but I'm rather skeptical. If we can squeeze something out on Tuesday, it could very well be in the frozen form, so I have a few scattered snow showers as a possibility in the forecast. The blast of cold will linger all the way into Thursday, but the upper flow flattens quickly and a bit of a ridge builds over the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic by the weekend. That may very well mean temperatures back into the 60s by Saturday!
Some folks have asked me about the pattern beyond this early week "storm," wondering if it could set us up for more action and possible winter weather during the first two weeks of February. After this brief blast of chill through Thursday, I don't see any major league cold until maybe Valentine's Day and even then, I'm not sure it would be anything significant. Of course, the way this winter is going...it's way too early to speculate. Winter's not completely over, but time is running out...

Hey Mike,
The weather models been so bad lately that its hard to believe any on them past 24hrs, so that makes it very hard to forecast but you do a lot better than most in Meteorologist but i think you are right that time is running out on this winter. I think the La Nina has a lot to do about what has happened this winter so far.
