DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 19-23)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A northwesterly air flow dominates our weather today and Tuesday between eastern Canadian low pressure and central Canadian high pressure, bringing dry, breezy, and chilly weather. That high will sink southeastward and move across the region Wednesday, also a dry and chilly but more tranquil day as we lose the gusty breeze. Things change as we head later into the week. A complex low pressure system will be set to impact our region. First some lead energy develops an initial rain area along the Mid Atlantic Coast which then heads northward, reaching our region in the evening, but may start as snow\/mix with some chilly air trapped in the area. While this is going on another low will take shape and rapidly deepen in the Midwest while heading for the Great Lakes. There are still some details about this system that remain unknown, such as how far west it tracks, which holds a key to how quickly the lingering cool air can be pushed out of our region, as it sometimes happens above us but not at the surface nearly as quickly, if at all, in this set-up. For now, I lean toward a warm front making it through, and Friday being a breezy and very mild day with rain showers, culminating in a rain squall line as a cold front sweeps across the region ahead of the rapidly deepening storm in the Great Lakes Friday evening. As for more precise timing, we’ll have to nail that down later in the week. The system will likely produce some significant and possibly damaging wind gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (DECEMBER 24-28)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A blustery, cold Christmas Eve & Christmas Day can be expected in the wake of powerful low pressure moving through eastern Canada. A few snow showers may survive a trip from the Great Lakes into our region. Generally dry and cold weather is expected early to middle portion of next week but watching around December 27 for a potential snow\/mix\/rain threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (DECEMBER 29 \u2013 JANUARY 2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not a high confidence forecast, but after a chilly start it may moderate with a rain or snow threat sometime around the beginning of 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
