DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 14-18)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High pressure provides quiet mid December weather for the next few days, well into the weekend in fact, with one cold day today, then a moderation. Late in the weekend we’ll see clouds arrive ahead of low pressure which is expected to send its moisture our way for a bout of rain and some wind Sunday night and especially Monday. The sensible weather details still have to be worked out, but the overall idea is a low pressure area that will intensify and mature well to our south, but elongate and move its way up here. What is high confidence is that the air will be too mild to support any frozen precipitation, so we’re looking at a rain event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 32-39. Wind W 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 27-34. Wind W under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 47-54. Wind SE 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Rain arrives. Lows 40-47. Wind SE 10-20 MPH, higher gusts especially coastal areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (DECEMBER 19-23)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The large scale pattern features a polar jet stream displaced far to the north and generally out of the picture while there is a blocky southern jet stream pattern. This keeps it somewhat unsettled here early in this period, with additional rain that may transition to rain\/snow showers as it cools down and low pressure eventually pulls to the north and east. A slightly colder north to northeast flow mid to late period may result in periods of clouds and ocean effect snow\/mix showers. Much lower confidence that far in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (DECEMBER 24-28)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
White Christmas odds remain below climatology. Overall drier pattern here but watch for a weaker system around the middle of the period with a minor precipitation threat. No major cold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
