[ Friday, Jan. 31, 2003 ]
The January thaw has begun across the state. Temperatures will be above normail in most locations for the next several days. A weak cold front will slide through the region tonight, spreading some light rain and snow to most of the state. Clouds will remain entrenched across the region through the weekend as high pressure will push temperatures into the upper 40s. This warm-up won’t last long as yet another Arctic cold front will be knocking on our doors steps late Monday, with periods of rain developing.
