Most Pleasant Day of the Week
It won't be nearly as warm as a few days last week, but today will have lots of sun and pleasant temperatures by February standards. Colder weather is coming in two waves--one arriving Wednesday, another arriving Saturday. A cold front moves through Wednesday morning with a just a bit of light rain and flurries. By Thursday, high temperatures will be knocked down by 10 degrees or more compared to today. After a quiet Friday, the second cold front moves through by sunrise Saturday. Saturday looks blustery and much colder with another round of snow flurries. Skies become mostly clear Sunday, but temperatures will be very cold.

Forecast Discussion
While there's nothing extreme to account for this week weather-wise, we are going back to winter. Cold air will come in two shots--one Wednesday, another Saturday. Both fronts have very little moisture.
Tuesday is very nice for early February but not nearly as warm as a few days were last week.
The first cold front moves through Wednesday morning. Clouds increase tonight and Wednesday will be mostly cloudy. A bit of light rain and flurries will be around tomorrow. Flurries may continue Wednesday night into early Thursday--nothing of importance. But temperatures will be knocked down--highs by Thursday will be 10 degrees colder than today.
Friday will be a relatively quiet day, but clouds increase again late in the day. The second front will pack more of a cold punch moving through just before sunrise Saturday. Saturday looks blustery with falling temperatures. Snow flurries will be possible late Friday night into early Saturday--again, nothing important. Cold weather remains through Sunday. Even though we will not have any significant precipitation, at least the ski slopes will be back in the snow-making business.
Monday the next system in the southern stream approaches from the southwest. Clouds increase late in the day and a wintry mix is not out of the question Monday night (timing and intensity details are highly uncertain from seven days out).
