February 11, 2011: Milder days ahead of us!

February 11, 2011

10 AM Update

Cold morning with some freezing fog earlier this morning over parts of western Kentucky.  That is gone by now.

What a beautiful day - sure it is cold :) - but at least the sun is out.

My biggest concerns over the coming weeks center around the 18th through the 27th or so.  LONG way off - but I am watching for a potential event (s) over the Missouri and Ohio Valley that could bring an extended period of precipitation.  We will want to monitor this closely.

Have a great day and weekend for that matter!
