Although I think the folks at NOAA do a good job, I do not always agree with their 10 and 14 day NOAA forecasts. They are too broad in geographic area. I do not think they are right with their much above normal temp forecast for the next 10 and 14 day periods for the lakes region.
Although this weekend might be a bit above normal, along with next Tuesday, the rest of the next two weeks will be below normal. It will be rather cold, not extremely cold, for about a week starting next Wednesday evening with temps 5 to 10 degreess below normal for that period of time.
That is what I think and I will be the first to say that I am not always right.
Time will tell!
