Today is Groundhog's Day and that means it is time to talk about winter forecasting in the worst way. For those of you who have not heard, Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow this morning. This event means winter will be ending sooner than normal.
I wish the woodchuck was right but looking at the science I might have to disagree with him. The current upper level flow and model projections promise a bitterly cold streak to last well through February and early March.
Next week alone could be very frigid with another arctic cold front slipping through the Natural State.
Of course as I write this, the Climate Predicition Center is calling for above normal temperatures in Arkansas as we move through February, March and April. Only time will tell if the CPC or the woodchuck are correct.
