THIS WEEKEND
As the cold eases back, the weekend will be much warmer with temperatures 10°-15° above normal. We should have highs in the upper 50s to low 60s. We'll have one of the warmest opens to December in 17 years, since 1995 (62°). Will be the 18th time in 50 years, a December will open at 50° or higher. The most recent was back in 2009 with 54°.
We'll have some morning sunshine Saturday but the clouds will thicken up as the day progresses. In fact, we'll have a chance for some spotty showers Saturday afternoon and throughout parts of Sunday too. Saturday looks to be the better of the two to get out and get some holiday shopping done. Also, a best day to put up those outdoor christmas decorations. Weather Conditions Sunday won't be the prettiest but it won't be the ugliest either. Will be a rather cloudy day, so I wouldn't expect a whole lot of sunshine.
NEXT WEEK
Warmer temperatures will continue for Monday, where temperatures look to push mid tp possibly even the upper 60s. Thats 20° above normal. I don't think we'll break the record but we'll still make a run at it. The record high temperature for Monday is 69° set back in 1982. The winds will also pick up too this and more rain chances stick around. We are not looking at washouts here for Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. In fact, some may not see a drop. Projected Precipitation Totals are pretty low so if anything does fall, it won't be much at all. Rain Chances increase as we go into Tuesday, all thanks to a morning cold front. Could see temperatures fall throughout the day too. We'll start the day in about the mid 50s then drop to the mid to upper 40s for Tuesday Afternoon. We aren't looking a big cool down. In fact, the drop in temperatures will only put as at near normal values in the low to mid 40s for Wednesday. Cloud deck could remain unbroken for Wednesday but I'm optimistic we might squeeze out a little sunshine. I think we'll have a better shot at seeing more sun for Thursday with temperatures approaching the 50° mark. Rain chances return for Friday with temperatures once again around the 50° mark.
NEXT WEEKEND
Computer model runs have been back and forth over the past few days. The bulk of the model runs indicate a weekend snow storm system. Not a big one but one worth mentioning. The latest run per GFS & European Models indicate it will get cold and we will get some snow to fall. How much? Its really impossible to tell at this distance. This may not even verify but "IF" it does, then some may get a dusting while others could get a few inches. Location cannot also be determined at this distance. Sorry, I can't help you out on that department. As for temperatures, it will only cool us back to some of our chilly days we've already seen this season. Will monitor and bring you the latest in the coming days. Standby for further updates.
UPCOMING....
As we head into the month of December, here are a few things you should know.
(1) The average high decreases from 44° on the 1st to 36° on the 31st, while the average low decreases from 29° on the 1st to 21° on the 31st.
(2) We average 3.17" of rain or frozen precipitation and the average snowfall is 6.90"
. (3) From December 1st-20th we lose about 12 minutes of daylight. The Winter Solstice occurs on December 21st. We don't gain or lose any daylight time on this day but afterwards we begin to gain daylight. From December 22nd-December 31st, we gain 3 mins of daylight. So, overall, we really only lose 9 minutes of daylight. I will note through the entire month the sun will continue to rise later throughout the ENTIRE month but the sun will begin to set later starting December 13th.
On the 1st the sun rises at 7:47AM and sets at 5:20PM with the day lasting 9 hours 33 minutes and 20 seconds.
On the 31st the sun rises at 8:06AM and sets at 5:30PM with the day lasting 9 hours 24 minutes and 29 seconds.
There are conflicting issues with the climatic outlook for December. With models flip flopping back and forth, we may have a problem. That means long range forecast models cannot be trusted meaning we can't really tell what the weather will be like. For now, I'll call it like i see it. Here's the headlines:
-We'll open the month warm with temperatures running 10°-20° warmer than normal.
-Mid month cool down comes in. This will bring temperatures back more towards the normal values.
-On or around Christmas, temperatures could fall back below normal and maybe stir up a snow storm. Could we be looking at a White Chrismas?
Again, not a lot of trust in the long range at the moment but I thought I would share what I see with you at the moment. Doesn't mean this will all play out the way its laid out now.
There will be a lot of ups and downs next month and it'll be a mix of warm and cool days. In the end, I think we'll finish with near normal temperatues. As for snowfall, its unpredictable. Will continue to monitor. Standby for further updates.
