DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 13-17)
\nThe pre-Christmas express is rolling in the form of a fast-moving active weather pattern. We’ll have passing trains on two tracks during the next 5 days. A low pressure system from the south, “the inside runner” will blow through here tonight and Saturday with a rain event, the heaviest of which will occur Saturday morning, leaving plenty of wind in its wake Sunday as drier air moves in behind it. The “Ohio Valley Express” will be up next in the form of a weaker but somewhat colder system that will arrive late Monday evening and be gone by late Tuesday. While the exact track of this one is still somewhat in question, the area is likely to at least start as snow and end as snow showers. What is uncertain yet is what happens in between. At 4 days away I’m leaning toward a flip to rain South Coast and mixing elsewhere. Either way this does not look like a big storm, in terms of precipitation amounts, but will likely impact a couple of commutes.
\nThe forecast details…
\nTODAY: Limited sun early, otherwise becoming cloudy. Highs 37-44. Wind E to SE up to 10 MPH.
\nTONIGHT: Overcast. Areas of fog. Occasional light rain evening. Steady light to moderate rain overnight. Temperatures rising slowly through the 40s. Wind SE 5-15 MPH, higher gusts along the coast.

DAYS 6-10 (DECEMBER 18-22)
\nPolar jet stream dominates with cold weather. A risk of a few snow showers December 18 and possibly a period of snow around December 19 or early December 20 from a clipper system. Uncertainty for the end of the forecast period as we may need to watch a system to the south over the December 21-22 weekend for possible impact with snow\/mix at least for southern areas.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (DECEMBER 23-27)
\nMuch of this period looks dry and seasonably cold with occasional snow shower risks from passing disturbances but this is only low to moderate confidence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
