DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 14-18)
\nA reprieve from the cold begins today and lasts through the weekend. Dry weather continues today as high pressure drifts offshore. Two low pressure systems will pass south of the region this weekend, the first far enough south so that only the South Coast may see a touch of rain early Saturday, and the second making a closer pass and bringing more wet weather a little further north but with the greatest chance later Sunday of this occurring near and south of I-90. Precipitation in higher elevations may be mixed or snow for a while if it gets far enough north as colder air will be filtering in. By Monday, the second low will be offshore and intensifying to the east of the region and may produce a few rain\/snow showers but the bigger impact will be wind and somewhat colder air. Expect a breezy and chilly but dry day December 18 between that offshore storm, slowly moving away, and high pressure moving in from the west.
\nTODAY: Mostly sunny start, mostly cloudy finish. Highs 39-45. Wind light SE.
\nTONIGHT: Cloudy. Risk of light rain overnight South Coast. Lows 35-41. Wind E 5-15 MPH.
\nSATURDAY: Cloudy with a chance of rain in the morning, favoring the South Coast. Partial sun midday and afternoon especially north. Highs 40-46. Wind E 5-15 MPH becoming variable.
\nSATURDAY NIGHT: Becoming cloudy. Lows 35-41. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.
\nSUNDAY: Cloudy. Rain likely South Coast by afternoon, may spread to the I-90 corridor late day with some mix possible higher elevations. Highs 37-43 but may fall somewhat later in the day. Wind NE 5-15 MPH except 10-20 MPH and gusty South Coast region.
\nMONDAY: Mostly cloudy. Rain\/snow showers possible and cannot rule out a period of accumulating snow for parts of the region. Windy. Temperatures steady in the 30s to start then may fall to the 20s later.
\nTUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Breezy. Lows from the upper 10s to lower 20s. Highs in the 30s.<\/p>\n
DAYS 6-10 (DECEMBER 19-23)
\nHigh pressure will bring fair and tranquil weather December 19. A weak low pressure system from the west will bring a risk of rain showers late December 20 as it is a bit milder and a risk of rain\/snow showers as colder air arrives December 21. A disturbance may bring a little snow\/mix to the region sometime over the December 22-23 weekend with temperatures close to seasonal averages.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (DECEMBER 24-28)
\nLow confidence based on uncertain timing of systems but leaning mainly dry and seasonably chilly to start the period then a risk of one or two bouts of unsettled weather later in the period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
