A Warming Trend Ahead
It seems an uneventful weather pattern remains in place through the end of the workweek and part of the holiday weekend. It’s going to continue dry and temps will gradually warm. We could even have a few spots snagging 70 degrees Saturday. As temps warm, moisture increases and eventually leads to rain. Santa may wanta pack a rain coast on his shed. It’s looking a bit wet Christmas Eve night into Christmas morning.
In the meantime, high pressure will keep us dry and chilly through the workweek. Mornings start out cold in the upper 20s to lower 30s and afternoon highs will hover around 60 the remainder of the week. An active westerly wind flow aloft will transport clouds over us at times and that will filter out the sunshine. I’ll have to go with a partly sunny sky. We’re still dry as the low level moisture remains cutoff for now but that changes over the upcoming weekend.
The holiday weekend is setting up to be a bit milder temperaturewise but along with the warm comes moisture. Temps will manage mid to upper 60s for highs through Monday (Christmas Day). For now, it looks like Friday and Saturday will stay dry but rain will enter the state late Sunday (Christmas Eve). It will spread from west to east and most all locations will be seeing rain Christmas morning. I still believe it’s an all rain event without any severe storm risk this time around. Temps will be in the 50s and 60s so you can rule out a white Christmas.
