Turning Colder Today; Another Rain Storm As We Close 2018…

Highlights:

  • Falling temperatures today
  • Chilly, but sunshine this weekend
  • Wet weather returns New Year’s Eve

Spring This Morning; Winter Tonight…Temperatures are starting off on a downright balmy note for late-December, but that “spring fling” will come to a crashing end later this afternoon and evening as temperatures fall.  It’ll be a dry day, but blustery.  Jackets will be required by the afternoon on.

Sunshine remains in place this weekend before another big rain maker arrives on the scene as we close out the year.  Locally heavy rain can be expected Monday.  Much colder air will plunge in behind this particular storm system and left over moisture will fall as scattered snow showers New Year’s Day.

Tracking 2 Rain Events; Cold Open to 2019…

Highlights:

  • Wet with a few t-storms
  • Dry weekend
  • Wet then cold to open 2019

Rain Gear Needed…The pattern is transitioning from the predominantly mild stretch of the past couple weeks to one that will turn much colder as we move into January.  In between?  Active times, as we’re tracking two big storm systems between now and NYE.

The initial push of moisture has reached the I-65 corridor as of this forecast issuance early Thursday morning.  Periods of rain will continue through a good chunk of the day and we may even throw in some thunder into the mix later this evening- especially across southern portions of the state.  The other big story today?  Strong and gusty southerly winds.

Rain will end later tonight with dry, blustery, and colder times returning as we close the week.  Highs tomorrow will come predawn before falling through the day.  Dry and seasonable times will continue as we move through the last weekend of 2018.

A new storm system promises a return of wet times as we get set to ring in the new year.  Definitely plan on having the rain gear handy as you head out to those New Year’s Eve parties Monday.  Heavy rain is possible at times.  As the area of low pressure tracks northeast, it’ll swing a cold front through here Monday night and we’ll turn sharply colder with snow showers on New Year’s Day, itself.
