ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Many people are likely looking forward to a break from winter’s harsh conditions, and that relief is on the way. One of the primary reasons for the upcoming milder temperatures is a shift in the storm track. The first storm system will move through the Mississippi Valley, with its track passing west of Rochester. A second system is expected to follow a similar path late Friday into Saturday, again staying west of the area.
This setup typically favors warmer air for our region and will result in a January thaw across the Rochester area. When comparing average temperatures to what is forecast, much of the eastern half of the United States is expected to run well above normal. By Friday, temperatures may reach the middle 50s with is exceptionally mild for this time of year. The warmth is expected to persist into early Saturday. The last time temperatures approached this level was December 18, nearly three weeks ago.
For many, this break from winter is a welcome change. Climatologically, the January thaw often occurs around this time of year and is characterized by several days of above-normal temperatures across the northeastern United States. While temporary, it provides a notable pause from persistent cold and snow and offers a brief reminder that winter does not last forever.
