A little January thaw

A little January thaw is underway here in the eastern U.S. We finally went above freezing this week for the first time since December 12th.  Daytime highs Friday and Saturday will be quite mild...well into the 40s. We may evening hit 50 in some neighborhoods on Saturday.  After that, colder air comes in Saturday night and next week we should see temperatures around normal. Our normal highs should be in the lower 30s.  Some days will be below that, some a bit above, but generally a bit more normal. Considering that January is the coldest month of the year, I'll take that.

Meanwhile, AccuWeather's Joe Bastardi is starting to talk about a potential cold outbreak (like many degrees below normal) beginning mid-January and continuing for a few weeks. The National Weather Service long range maps don't show that yet. I hope that doesn't happen here in NE Ohio, but we'll keep an eye on it.

Meanwhile, enjoy the "warm"!
