Feb 1600:11:53Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailTemperatures are on the move this week and not quietly. We’re stepping into a much more active and unsettled pattern across southern New England, with multiple chances for precipitation and plenty to watch as the atmosphere keeps shifting gears. That means one big focus right now: ice safety. Changing temperatures and variable conditions can make ice incredibly unpredictable, so awareness and smart decision-making are key as we head deeper into February.At the same time, something powerful is happening above us. The Sun is climbing higher, and daylight is increasing in bigger and brighter chunks. You can feel it. The angle of the Sun continues to rise, the daylight stretches longer, and even with storms in the mix, the seasonal transition is underway. What does that mean for temperatures, snowpack, and the weeks ahead? We’re breaking it all down with the Weekly Weather Preview — Episode #231 of Obsessed with the Weather! Enjoy! Support the show

Cold air has been the dominant story, with temperatures running well below average, but there’s a subtle shift ahead as we finally sneak back above freezing at times this week. Daylight is making noticeable gains now, adding minutes each day and offering a reminder that the seasonal corner has been turned—even if it doesn’t feel like it yet.Precipitation chances are limited, making this a relatively quiet stretch of weather, but there’s still plenty to break down. We’ll also take a quick mental escape to a tropical location while the bitter cold lingers here at home.
