A week of transition is underway from the mild pattern of December so far to a colder/dry pattern coming in the days ahead. This will take place with the passage of low pressure systems late Tuesday and late Thursday to early Friday. Both of these systems should be largely mild systems with rain for the forecast area. Looking ahead to the end of the week, it looks like it will be colder & mostly dry, but we may have to watch for a couple disturbances that may produce some snow showers.
