Rain Returns Late Tonight
Weak high pressure will keep the weather dry on Tuesday but a storm approaching from the west will push high clouds into the region along with initiating southerly winds. The next weather system will push a cold front through in the early morning hours on Wednesday with gusty winds and brief downpours possible. Weak high pressure returns for the rest of the week with another storm system this weekend.
Tuesday: Passing high clouds, thickening late. Breezy southerly winds at times. Highs in the upper 50s to mid 60s.
Overnight: Rain arrives just past midnight with gusty winds and brief downpours. Showers may last through the morning commute. Lows will mostly be in the 40s to 50s.
Wednesday: Becoming partly cloudy with isolated showers in the afternoon. Breezy at times with highs in the 50s.
Extended: Patchy morning fog Thursday, then mostly sunny, dry weather Thursday-Friday with slightly cool to seasonable temperatures. The next storm system arrives on Saturday—probably late in the day with wind & rain. Showers could linger into Sunday/Monday.
The outlook from the Climate Prediction Center for December 24th – 30th calls for the likelihood of BELOW normal temperatures and ABOVE normal precipitation.
