DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 22-26)
\nThe dry-out process begins today, but not until a cold front sweeps eastward across the region this morning and very early afternoon with thin band of rain showers and trailed by a few additional ones. The mild air in place will be replaced by seasonable cold tonight and Sunday, along with dry weather. A small clipper low pressure system will bring some light snow\/rain (depending on location) for the morning hours of Monday and then some snow showers lingering during the afternoon adding some festive flakes to the Christmas Eve atmosphere. Seasonably cold and dry weather is then expected for Christmas Day Tuesday and Wednesday as well as high pressure builds in.

\nHigh pressure hangs on with fair\/cold weather December 27 before a west-to-east moving low pressure system brings mix\/rain December 28. Clearing, breezy, seasonably cold December 29. Currently staying with a dry forecast for December 30-31 but a boundary not far south of the region may change that and allow a wave of low pressure to get close enough for a period of snow\/mix. Will keep an eye on this.<\/p>\n
