The United States is welcoming February with an increase in daylight, gaining an additional 1 hour and 20 minutes since January, and by the end of the month, there will be around 2 more hours of daylight. Notably, Boston will see sunset after 5:30 pm by the last day of February. Forecasts predict warmer than average temperatures in the coming days, with a warm and humid Thursday and the Super 7-Day Forecast indicating showers and storms by late Friday night. A dry cold front is expected to pass tonight, leading to cooler air for the weekend. Sunday is projected to be mostly sunny, a change after two weeks, and marks the end of solar winter. Despite the current warm spell, weather models suggest a shift to very cold air and a colder than normal pattern returning from mid-February, which may result in near-average snowfall and temperatures in areas like Washington, DC. The February weather outlook also points to the possible effects of El Niño, which could keep conditions wetter than average and temperatures near average. Meanwhile, the current phase features dry weather with temperatures above normal.
[Possible Pattern Change] Mainly dry weather with temps averaging above normal will continue across #SNE for the next week or so. However, a lot of our model guidance is suggesting a colder weather pattern may take hold for the second half of February. https://t.co/J7VO00dwj4
