It looks like we warm to above normal temperatures on Thursday. This warm up should last for a week or so.
There is light at the end of the tunnel. The last few days, the ensembles have been showing a turn to a more favorable pattern beginning between the 7th & 10th.
There is fairly good agreement on the GEFS, EPS & Canadian ensembles to have some confidence that a pattern with chances for Winter weather should be underway for the second week of January.
