DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 21-25)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Welcome to winter! Last year’s solstice sunrise was brilliant, whereas this one was obscured by low clouds and fog. in many areas the temperatures have been below freezing and some of that fog has contributed to icing on untreated surfaces so use caution if you are outside this morning. Some drying between an offshore storm system and an approaching trough from the west should result in partial clearing at times today and early this evening. This leaves us still with a chance to see the conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter low in the southwest sky between 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. The system coming from the west may produce some snow showers on Tuesday and behind it comes a reinforcing shot of cold air as high pressure moves in on Wednesday. I believe we are still seeing model corrections on going for the situation on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. High pressure offshore will allow milder air to flow into the region on Christmas Eve. An approaching front from the west will bring rain showers to the region that night and into the early hours of Christmas Day before a rapid temperature drop which may end the rain as snow in some sections. Still have some fine tuning to do on this forecast for future updates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
