The 2011-2012 Winter season is almost half over and there has yet to be a prolonged deep freeze or a significant snow storm.
Saturday's snow was cute but hardly memorable. Aside from some rain today and Friday there's no particularly interesting weather our way anytime soon.
Today's rainmaker is coming in from south Texas. The storm formed slightly south of the jet stream which allowed it to wrap warm, moist air around itself. When that system gets caught up in the jet stream it will bring the warmth and moisture our way. Look for light rain or showers to start today with heavier rains expected tonight into Friday.
Once that storm passes a lazy high pressure system will move over the East Coast. The high will bring clear skies and gradually cooling temperatures. We are looking at mid 50s on Friday, lower 40s on Saturday and Sunday and upper 30s on Monday before warming begins again on Tuesday.
Our mild winter may be confusing to groundhogs but, with the price of home heating oil nearing $4 a gallon, I am not complaining.
Of course we still have to get through the very fickle month of February!
