The warmer temperatures were nice while they lasted but it looks like the end of the month could be a bit chilly and a little wet. Looking at the extended for the last week of February and first week of March paint somewhat of a chilly picture. A broad trough in the west will keep the cooler air filtering in across much of the U.S. while the active storm track takes the next couple of systems either through or just to the south of the Midwest. The southern jetstream will remain fairly active and keep storm systems moving through the southern tier of the country. The phasing, or coming together, of the southern and northern branches of the jetstream will help determine just how far north these storms will track. The next big system that could have an impact on us looks to move through Thursday night. As of right now the majority of our models take this low through southern Illinois; too far south to bring us any major snowfall. There is one however, the NAM, that tracks the low further north with quickly accumulating snow by Friday morning. While nothing's set in stone it's something we'll continue to track the next couple of days.
