DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 5-9)
\nNo big changes. Pattern transition, stage 1, as talked about a few days ago, takes place during the next couple of days as we have a mild Tuesday, a cold front bringing some wet weather tonight into Wednesday, cooling temperatures during Wednesday, and a colder\/dry Thursday. A couple waves of low pressure following the frontal passage, one on the front itself, a second from another disturbance, will pass southeast of the region but can both be close enough to produce a period of precipitation. Timing for these looks like late Friday and late Saturday as it stands now and precipitation type can be rain, mix, or snow, depending on timing and locations. Neither look significant in terms of snow accumulation at this point but will keep an eye on it, just in case.

DAYS 6-10 (DECEMBER 10-14)
\nLook for dry and colder weather December 10-11 and a rain\/mix\/snow threat December 12-13 depending on timing and track of the next system, and dry\/cold weather to end the period.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (DECEMBER 15-19)
\nA more consistent cold pattern, with a trough of low pressure dominated by the polar jet stream and 1 or 2 clipper type systems possible during this period. Will have to watch for additional moisture available for either system from the Pacific or Gulf of Mexico, depending on the set up, but the odds of this are low based on the northern stream dominated pattern.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
