Winter SKYWARN on January 20th

Daily Weather Summary

Our recent snowfall will remain on the ground through the weekend, as temperatures remain mostly below freezing. Then, fans of warmer weather rejoice! A pattern shift is forecast to bring warmer temperatures starting Monday and continuing into the following weekend.

Here's how the winter season (Dec-Feb) has started with observed mean temps and their departure from normal so far, and the latest monthly outlook for January issued by the Climate Prediction Center. While we will see a warmup this week, the overall consensus of longer range models (including AI) point towards January being below normal as well in our neck of the woods.

Happy New Year to everyone. Before we move into 2026, let's take a look back at 2025. Here are some weather statistics from the year.
