Back Down We Go...

We could not have asked for a better winter day in the Quad Cities Thursday, after the bitter cold we've seen all season long.  Here are the recorded high temperatures from across the area:
Highs Thursday 2/13
A weak cold front rolled through the area Thursday evening, and that has dropped temperatures quickly.  Low temperatures will be in the upper single digits to middle teens across the area.  With light snow light Thursday night and early Friday, temperatures will only recover back to around 20° across the area.  However, there is a warming trend beginning early next week!
The warmup to the lower 40s will cause much of the snow that's on the ground to melt, so we could be talking about some areas of dense fog with the added moisture to the atmosphere.  That will be something that will be monitored closely next week.

More bad news, it looks like after Friday of next week, we'll see a change in the pattern once again, bringing back the cold weather.  Here's the Climate Prediction Center's outlook for days 8-10.  I guess we have to remember we're still in Winter!
As Anthony mentioned Thursday morning, accumulating snow is still on track for Saturday.  We'll keep you updated.
