Early Signs of Wintry Weather?

It may be 7 days out, but we're going to have to watch next week closely. As shallow cold air lingers around Region 8, and an area of low pressure moves south of us... we may have to watch for ice. The pattern supports this icy-looking setup. It's what we call an "overrunning" event, where warmer air goes up and over the cold <32 air. The result is typically icy. It's too early to get worried and definitely too early to say if we will have problems, but it's not too early to keep an eye on next Tuesday, February 4th. Stay tuned.
