The month of December brought well below average temperatures across much of the Mid-Atlantic region. Averaging as much as 4 to 6 degrees below normal. Putting impacts on energy costs already this early into the season but we are looking to see some relief on those heating bills over the next week. starting Tuesday, we flip the switch from being the freezer to being able to thaw out in a big way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the rest of this week, we are about to go from January weather to what i would say be ;ate October weather as we start cranking up to the 50s. Eventually towards the weekend we are even crossing the 60s threshold. Which is going to feel quite nice after being stuck every day in the 30s. But the real question lies, how long will this warm up will last?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It appears this will be a week long warm up with the warmest time frame appearing closer to the weekend with highs approaching the mid 60s. But also bring the onset of rain chances as a storm system will be lifting up towards the Great Lakes area. But towards the mid-month, signs are pointing to a return of the west coast ridge allowing for troughs to extend east towards the Mid-Atlantic to bring back more seasonable temperatures. Cold air intrusion would be possible after the 15th when this occurs so that’s when any snow chances would return as of now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy the warmth and thaw while it last as we still have a whole lot of winter to get through!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
