Up-date
Artic air is heading south and the storm track has moved south. Expect period of osculation in the storm track. The next few weeks will feature winter storms in the south with snow to the north. Snow , Ice and cold rain south.
As high pressure areas break off from the main cold air mass over Canada and move southeast expect storms to move out of the Rockies on the back side and deposit heavy snow in the Mid west. Moderating times in the south with periods of rain and moderating temperatures then cold with Southern Storms. I have numbered them and I forecast 3 to 4.
This is the best pattern possible if you like storms in the south. Periodic Artic intrusions will make it below normal at times. A major Artic intrusion is not out of the question in February to make up for the warm surge in January. Tick for tack, so to speak.
