DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 20-24)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On this final full day of astronomical autumn, we’ve lost the short-lived feeling of spring we had yesterday and returned to the feel of winter. Well, that covers everything except summer. \ud83d\ude09 Seriously though, we have seen the return of colder air, but not the degree of cold we experience for much of the first half of December. We’re now in a pattern of up and down temperatures, and while the “ups” in the coming days are not going to feature the springlike readings of Friday. We’ll see this shown by the fact the next low pressure area to impact our region is this weekend, and we’ll see high temps in the 30s today and over 40 Sunday in the warm sector as the low passes by to our north. This will be a moisture-starved system, and while I previously highlighted the slight chance for insignificant precipitation, I’m removing that from the forecast this weekend in favor of dry weather – just a variety of clouds with the warm front \/ cold front combo with the passing low pressure area. The departure of this one does pull some colder air in again for Monday, setting the stage for a snow\/mix\/rain event on Tuesday as the next clipper low moves through. There are still some finer details to work out with this one, like precipitation-type and more precise timing. It will not be a big event but it does have the potential to have some pre-Christmas travel impact. Whatever it has in store for us, off it goes Tuesday night and sets up a mostly dry, seasonable Christmas Eve. We will have to watch for a weak disturbance that can cause a quick snow shower that day or evening. The winter solstice occurs on Sunday morning at 10:03 a.m. EST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (DECEMBER 25-29)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Up-and-down temperature pattern, leaning toward slightly below normal with a couple disturbances potentially bringing mostly minor precipitation events – storm track trend favoring them passing to our north in the expected large scale pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (DECEMBER 30 \u2013 JANUARY 3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A similar pattern \u2013 a couple smaller low pressure systems with mostly minor impact, but causing variable temperatures, but near to slightly below normal for the period overall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
