Tonight will feature areas of mist and drizzle, with otherwise mainly cloudy skies and gusty winds. Temperatures will remain mild overnight, until a cold front moves through early Friday, and then we see cooler and drier air move in.
On Friday the high temperature will occur just after midnight, with falling temperatures throughout the day. By 7 am Friday morning temperatures will have already fallen into the 30s and 40s, and by midday Friday, everyone will be in the 30s. Thankfully winds won't be too strong, so feels like temperatures won't be dramatically colder than air temperatures. Skies will be mostly cloudy through the day.
The holiday weekend will still be above average with highs in the 40s on both days. There is a slight chance of a wintry mix late Saturday night into early Sunday. The timing of that mix is not ideal, as it will move through during NYE celebrations. With borderline temperatures near 32° overnight, precipitation type could be rain, snow, or even freezing drizzle. Check back with us for updates, especially if you plan to be out New Year's Eve.
The next best chance of rain arrives Monday afternoon into Tuesday. Long-range computer models have been consistent with this signal for a rain event during this time period. Colder air on the backside of the system may allow for a bit of a wintry mix transition by Wednesday. As usual, more details on timing and precipitation types will become clearer as we get closer to the event.
