4Warn Weather – Good Friday morning!
After a dry, but cloudy, day on Thursday, we are bringing rain showers in the forecast for the beginning of the holiday weekend, to end 2022 and welcome 2023!
As a cold front moves towards the region, right now most of the major forecast models have the front slowing and almost stalling out as it heads into the weekend. This will keep us on the active side of the forecast for the end of the week and into the first part weekend.
Rain showers will increase in coverage as moisture streams into the region throughout the day on Friday. High temperatures will make it into the lower 50s by Friday afternoon, which is almost 20 degrees above average than where we should be for late December.
More rain Saturday
The rain continues into the beginning of the weekend on Saturday. Some of the major computer models are showing a good slug of moisture moving into the region overnight Friday and into Saturday. Most places should end up with at least a half an inch of rainfall, with some places seeing up to an inch of rainfall before it’s all said and done.
Once this front clears the area on Saturday, drier weather moves into the region on Sunday as we celebrate the new year!
Drier Sunday
High temperatures will cooler, back into the middle 40s for both Saturday and Sunday, but still above average for late December and into early January.
Rain returns next week
Another frontal boundary looks to move into the region toward the middle of next week. We will keep the cloudy skies into the forecast into Monday. High temperatures will remain in the middle 40s on Monday afternoon.
Rain will spread over the region as we go from Monday night and into Tuesday as our next cold front moves in. We’re also going to see another surge in warm temperatures heading into next Tuesday, as well. Most of us will take a run at 60 degrees by the time we get to Tuesday afternoon.
The rain showers will continue on Wednesday as this system moves off to the east. Cooler temperatures will also move into the region. High temperatures will reach the upper 40s on Wednesday afternoon.
We will keep cloudy skies into the forecast for next Thursday, as well, with colder air finally moving back into the region. High temperatures will be just a few degrees above average, landing in the upper 30s Thursday afternoon.
