Meteorologists suspect Phil might only see cloudy skies on Sunday.
YORK, Pa. — From below freezing temperatures at the start of the week, to temperatures in the mid-40s by the end, meteorologists aren't quite sure whatAt this point, it's kind of a toss up. But for betting, perhaps, they suspect Phil won't see his shadow because of cloudy skies in the forecasts – predicting an early spring for the second straight year.
That's how the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club describes the Feb. 2 tradition, marking the midway point of winter.Are there other furry, weather-predicting animals? Certainly. They include West Virginia's French Creek Freddie, Georgia's Gen. Beauregard Lee, Ohio's Buckeye Chuck, North Carolina's Sir Walter Wally, Louisiana's Cajun Groundhog, Alabama's Smith Lake Jake, Wisconsin's Jimmy and New York's Staten Island Chuck .
In other words, in only 14 of the last 32 years did the national average temperature for the remainder of February match what would be expected based on what the groundhog predicted. The experts agree:"There is no predictive skill for the groundhog during the most recent years of the analysis," according to NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information.The National Weather Service predicts it will be cloudy with a high near 40 degrees. They are also calling for rain and snow showers.
