4Warn Weather – Good Monday morning!
I hope you had a great Christmas and end-of-Hanukkah weekend!
We are starting off our Monday -- the first day of Kwanzaa -- on a relatively quiet note compared to where we’ve been the past three days.
Today’s sunrise is at 8:01 a.m.
A weakening storm system will pass well to our south today, but it may be close enough to give us a few snowflakes, but I don’t expect any accumulation. Cloudy skies will dominate the day.
Highs should reach 20 degrees or so. The wind will only blow from the southwest at 5-10 mph, so wind chill won’t be nearly the issue that it was over the weekend. That means a pretty uneventful trip to the store to exchange all of those clothes you received that don’t fit, or take advantage of the post-holiday sales.
Tonight’s sunset is at 5:09 p.m. (Notice that we’re getting a tad more daylight than we were last week!)
Milder days ahead
It will be mostly cloudy tonight, with lows in the low teens. Southwest winds will move at 4-8 mph.
While we’ll have some clouds on Tuesday, I also think we’ll get some meaningful breaks of sun. It’ll be SO nice to see that sun.
Tuesday highs will be in the mid-to-upper 20s. It will be partly cloudy Tuesday night, with lows in the low 20s.
Wednesday will be partly cloudy with highs in the mid-to-upper 30s. Clouds will increase Wednesday night, with lows in the low-to-mid 30s.
Rain to end the week
Thursday will be a cloudy day. It now appears that any showers may just hold off until Thursday night. Highs will be in the upper 40s.
Scattered light showers are possible on Friday, with highs near 50 degrees.
New Year’s weekend outlook
Put simply, we end 2022 and begin 2023 on a warm but wet note, as showers are possible both Saturday and Sunday.
It’s too early to try and get specific on exact timing in terms of your New Year’s Eve plans -- but, if there is any precipitation Saturday night, it’ll be liquid, not snow, and you won’t have any ice to deal with on the roads.
Highs this weekend should be within shouting distance of 50 degrees.
