Mother Nature has decided to reward most of the country with a MUCH NEEDED break from the long stretch of wintry weather.
The reason behind this is the upper-level wind pattern (or the jet stream).
In the map below - you can see what the pattern will be like for the next 3 to 5 days. A large ridge of high pressure means quiet weather for the center of the country with dry and mild conditions.
However - it will be windy for locations along and under the flow of winds. So we are talking all the locations in yellow and orange - as well as the reds and pinks.
Unsettled weather can be expected across the Pacific Northwest states and across the northeast states - where the jet streams dips. These dips are caused by areas of low pressure.
The ridge in the middle is caused by high pressure - and that translates into pretty decent weather!
