Highlights:

  • Very mild today
  • Rain to snow Christmas Eve
  • Winter Threat Sunday-Monday

Mild Day; Scattered Showers…Today is going to be the mildest day of the month by far.  As we type this, we’re more than 20 degrees above where we should be at this time of day.  Almost balmy out!  While scattered showers will be possible through the day, steadier and heavier rains will hold off until Christmas Eve morning (there will be many dry hours today).

Merry Christmas; Rain Switching To Snow Before Ending…We still forecast a rainy Christmas Eve, but as colder air moves in, rain will end as snow showers/ flurries Christmas Eve night.  This doesn’t appear to be a big deal from an accumulation perspective, but we’ll keep a close eye on it.

We love snow as much (if not more) than any other snow lover and would love a white Christmas, but let’s remember the reason for the season and put things into perspective.  In all actuality, a white Christmas doesn’t matter in the least ;-).  We’ll enjoy a couple of drier and milder days Christmas and for the big shopping day Friday!

Eyeing The Weekend…A winter threat remains on the table for the upcoming weekend into early next week, but we’ll have to fine tune timing and precise track in the days ahead.  Let’s get through the Christmas Eve storm first.

Regardless, the pattern looks very cold to welcome in 2015…
