8-14 day period… We will be dry and warm most of next week and then the weather pattern could get more active the first week of March.

2 is another weak system moving through on Friday.
Then it’s dry most of next week.
Finally, the pattern could get more active as we move into March.
The next post will be on Wednesday.
