DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 5-9)
\nA dry and chilly northwesterly flow will dominate our weather today. It will be bright but with a bite. Please remember to use caution when traveling. The weather may be fair, but with it being cold, especially this morning, there are plenty of areas of black ice and re-frozen packed snow making hazard of some steps, walks, driveways, and side roads. This will probably be the case each morning through the weekend. A clipper low pressure system will move rapidly east southeastward across the region late Friday producing a light snowfall except rain\/mix near the South Coast as the low will likely track right over that region and have just enough mild air with it. We’ll have to watch for a narrow area of briefly moderate snow and\/or snow showers just in advance of and just behind the departing system. While it won’t put down much snowfall (1 inch maximum expected), it can be timed to slick up some roads for the afternoon\/evening commute, especially north of I-90. Behind this system, cold air will be reinforce, and as previously stated, it will be rather cold and blustery for high school football super bowl games Friday night and Saturday. A moderating temperature trend starts Sunday as high pressure slips to the south of the region, but Sunday will be dry, despite an increase in cloudiness. Much milder air will arrive Monday on a strengthening southwest wind, but this will come along with rain showers. This will help take care of the remaining ice\/snow on many surfaces it hasn’t been removed from, and while not completely eliminating the snow pack from the recent storm, will make a significant reduction to it.

DAYS 6-10 (DECEMBER 10-14)
\nCold front approaches from the west December 10 with mild, breezy weather ahead of it along with rain showers. A turn to windy, colder, and dry weather behind the front December 11. A clipper type disturbance may bring light snow or snow showers at some point December 12 followed by mainly dry but cold weather. We may be watching a system evolving to the southwest of the region by the end of the period. This part of the forecast is uncertain, as the period of time this threat exists begins about December 14 and this threat would be here only if the evolution was on the quicker side.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (DECEMBER 15-19)
\nThe latest idea is that cold air will be more dominant but some southern jet stream moisture may try to initiate some type of storminess that could pass near to or south of the region with a snow\/mix threat somewhere during the first half of this period. We will have to watch for that, and then more dry and chilly weather to end the period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
