Good evening, folks. It’s finally cold outside, even it is only a seasonal brand of cold that continues for a few more days. Beyond this… we track three weather systems set to impact our region Christmas week through the weekend. Oh yea… It’s going to get a little warm, again.

Tomorrow’s flow is a cold one that can produce a few snow flurries across parts of the region…

NAM

That chill reaches all the way into the deep south, but doesn’t have any staying power. Temps slowly come back up later this weekend ahead of a rain maker Sunday night and Monday…

GFS

That keeps our temps above normal into Tuesday as we await the next storm system. That works in here Wednesday and Thursday (Christmas Eve). Temps ahead of this spike as rains increase…

The Canadian and GFS models try to bring a quick-hitting shot of chill behind that for Christmas Eve and Morning. Even if that’s real, it’s not going to hold. Another BIG plains storm system develops and puts us back into a southwesterly wind flow. That should cause temps to surge in the days just after Christmas. Records again? That depends on the progression of that storm. The slower it is, the warmer we get.

It may also blow in here with heavy rain, high winds and some thunder. Runs of the Canadian and GFS have shown cold air barreling in behind that departing storm. Here’s the Canadian for NEXT Sunday…

Enjoy the rest of your “cold” evening and take care.
