Good evening and welcome to the weekend. It’s another frigid night before our temps slowly start to moderate. The numbers do start to climb this weekend as we head into much more of a back and forth temperature setup.

Temps this morning hit the high single digits and low teens… Without snow on the ground. That’s really hard to do in the heart of winter, let alone the first week of December.

Readings tonight reach the mid and upper teens before recovering into the upper 30s to middle 40s Saturday afternoon. From there, we hit the 50s for Sunday ahead of low pressure rolling our way with rain Sunday night and Monday.

Rainfall totals from a half to one inch will be possible during this time. Most of the models are showing this with the Canadian being the heaviest…

The EURO and NAM aren’t too far behind…

 

The GFS is the lightest with the amounts…

That cold front slows down right on top of us with another wave or two of low pressures developing along it. That means more rain for Tuesday with the chance for some snow behind it Wednesday into Thursday.

The Canadian has the best chance for some light snows and snow showers…

The GFS manages to produce some light snows behind this cold front…

The EURO is actually the most progressive of all the models, keeping flakes away from us…

The AI version of the EURO doesn’t show precipitation type, but it appears to be the farthest west with the Wednesday wave of low pressure…

That would certainly bring more of a snow threat, if it’s accurate.

I’ll tackle all that and look ahead toward Christmas week and beyond in a blowout post coming later tonight.

Enjoy the evening and take care.
