GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – Temperatures and even precipitation was fairly mild across Northeast Wisconsin this January, and February is looking to be much of the same.
Northeast Wisconsin kicked off the new decade with a balmy first month.
“The average monthly temperature was 26.3 degrees. And that’s actually 9.8 degrees above normal,” Forecaster Tim Kieckbusch of the National Weather Service says.
February is expected to be similar, but that doesn’t mean it necessarily will be a warmer than usual month.
“There’s really no clear signal for above or below normal temperatures for the month of February. Although it looks like we’ll stay fairly mild here at least through the beginning part of the month,” Kieckbusch tells WTAQ News,”We could still get an arctic outbreak yet during the month of February, that is certainly possible. As we get into March, the odds of getting anything really cold goes way down.”
As for the precipitation in January, it was nothing out of the ordinary. Overall precipitation was just marginally higher than the average.
“We had 16.2 inches of snow, which was scattered out over several smaller systems throughout the month. There were no really big snowfalls at any one big juncture,” Kieckbusch says.
