Good evening, Christmas shoppers. I appreciate you taking a break from your holiday shopping to take a gander at the latest update here on KWC. ๐Ÿ™‚

Clouds and areas of drizzle linger this evening for much of the state. There’s even the chance to see a snowflake flying across the east.

If you’re a model watcher, you’re probably noticing the models are busting too warm over the past week. That was certainly on display today with many readings only in the upper 30s to low 40s. Unfortunately, your weather craps… err apps… keep spitting out bogus numbers. Sigh.

Let’s look ahead to our storm systems moving in here early next week. The first arrives Monday and lasts into early Tuesday, and should bring a lot of rain and wind…

We catch a windy and mild break Tuesday afternoon, but the next system then rolls in here by Tuesday night and Wednesday. The exact track of that is still up in the air, but odds favor this moving just to our east, with another round of heavy rain for the central and east…

A general 1″-3″ of rain is possible for the entire state from Monday through Wednesday. For many, that would be more than we’ve had for the pastย 2 months.

There’s even a chance we close that out with a few flakes flying Wednesday night as colder air moves in to start December. This is a seasonally cold air mass for Thursday and Friday…

Another system is going to try to come underneath that cold air by the weekend. That could result on rain and snow…

Looking deeper into December, the CFS continues to deepen the cold across the country…

Coast to coast cold isn’t that common across the country. But the latest blocking pattern suggests that’s a real possibility!

Enjoy your evening and take care.
