Weather Watcher: Normal weather pattern this week

• Forecast
• Last week's data

Forecast: Tuesday - Friday we are returning to a normal pattern of clouds and some light rain here and there. Temperatures will be cool running with highs in the mid 40's and lows in the mid to upper 30's. That persistent high pressure ridging that has been working very hard to keep our winter sedated and calm is returning this weekend and will be with us once again for a prolonged period of time beyond that. I am currently not sure why the ridging has been so persistent this winter but am currently researching that. A look at the bright side of things, at least we are not freezing under a polar vortex with temps at -30°F. In general it looks like we will have a dry trend, not unlike what we've had so far this fall and winter, resume after the weekend.
