Good Friday, folks. We have finally made it to Christmas weekend, but Mother Nature did not get the memo. We have wet and warm weather rolling into town for the next several days. This means wet roads for travelers, and the potential for temps to get a little crazy.

Things do turn much colder for the closing days of the year, but that doesn’t mean a whole lot for our Christmas weekend.

Clouds thicken today as rain moves in from west to east…

Temperatures for Christmas Day into Monday can be near record highs. Look at the absurd model forecasts…

Big changes them move in with the next system by the middle of next week. The models continue to point toward a more tame spike in temps before a big crash.

I will shoot you another update or two later today. Make it a great Friday and take care.
