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…

Highlights:

  • Light Snow This Morning Downstate
  • Big Storm Brewing Christmas Eve
  • Cold/ Stormy Pattern Setting Up To Close 2014

Light Snow Downstate; Quiet Weekend…It doesn’t take much snow to make a mess of things on area roadways and sure enough that’s the case this morning as light snow has created slick spots on I-65 across southern portions of the state. Travel safely and slow down if you’re heading south.  All-in-all, the weekend will be a quiet one with temperatures very close to where they should be for this time of year.  We’re keeping our fingers crossed for a few looks at the sun for the second half of the weekend.

Big Storm Brewing; Still Questions Around Specifics…Let’s cut right to the chase….  While confidence is increasing on some wind-whipped snow Christmas Eve, there are still many more questions than answers in regards to precisely when and where the accumulating snow sets up across the state.

We’ll cloud things up Monday and introduce some light rain late in the day with periods of rain and mild temperatures Tuesday.  It’s as the storm begins to deepen and head north that we should get in on more of a wintry aspect, including strong and gusty winds Christmas Eve (continues to look like a bumpy ride for Santa this year) with falling temperatures after a midnight high.  Winds may gust in excess of 40-50 MPH Christmas Eve.  Needless to say, it won’t take much snow to make a mess of travel with those type winds.  Stay tuned as we continue to fine tune over the weekend.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1″ – 1.5″
  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 1″ – 2″
