Even if February and March turn chilly in the end, this mild January is still going to have a lot to say about the end of the season. |
Extremely mild weather will continue this entire week, stretching the run of mild weeks assuredly to eight. Though cooler, the following week may yet be mild enough to leave a ninth week in the run of mild weeks that have spanned the core of this heating season. |
The Northeast will cool down over the weekend, spike to above-normal heating needs for Monday and Tuesday, but then settle back to just under normal for the rest of next week. The Midwest will be a lot cooler than it was in record- mild January, but still a little milder than normal. |
U.S. heating demands will shift back toward normal going into the middle stretch of January. |
