Those of you wanting to see some snow, hang in there, you
may get your chance next week…
Who could have imagined that we would have a white
Thanksgiving and then 60 degrees for Christmas Eve and early Christmas morning? Well, that is exactly what is going to happen…
Luckily, as I had expected, very few places had problems
with any freezing rain last evening. Temperatures
have already risen to around or over 40 degrees in many locations as the warm
air is starting to surge northward into our area ahead of a developing storm
system over the Tennessee River Valley and highs will reach the low to mid 40’s
today with the light rain and showers.
Tomorrow the rain will become heavy at times and it will
become windy as the storm intensifies and heads northward into the Great
Lakes. This track will pump warm air
northward into our area on the strong southerly winds, allowing temperatures to
rise all day and into the night, reaching around 60 degrees by late Christmas
Eve.
Expect the possibility of heavy travel delays
up and down the East Coast on Christmas Eve with the heavy rain and wind.
And for those of you heading south to Florida for the holiday;
remember that my dad owns a real estate company in Florida. Click here to view his company website.
Christmas Day we will have rain heavy at times early in the
morning and it will be windy. The rain
will end shortly after sunrise, and then things will clear out. The
pre-dawn high temperature will be around 60, dropping to the mid to upper 40’s
shortly after sunrise and holding steady all day.
Friday and Saturday should then be mostly sunny with highs
in the mid 40’s on Friday and around 50 on Saturday.
Sunday a cold front will approach our area, bringing a
chance of showers with highs in the mid to upper 40’s.
Then the story for all next week MAY end up being that the
cold front sets up just to our south, allowing cold air to work into our area,
with storm systems developing in the Southeastern United States along the front
and working their way northeastward along the front. With the cold air in place IF the cold front
sets up to our south, this would bring us chances for snow just about any day
from Monday through next Sunday with lows in the 20’s and highs in the upper 20’s
to low 30’s.
Please keep in mind that even though my detailed look at the
next two weeks lists a chance of snow every day next week Monday through next
Sunday, it will definitely NOT snow the entire time. Again, there MAY end up being several waves
of low pressure moving along a stalled-out front to our south, bringing chances
of snow any time from Monday through next Sunday but it is nearly impossible at
this time to put an exact time on these disturbances, so it is possible that
they could start one evening, then carry over into the morning of the
next day with clearing, then the next one moves in and so on, so it WILL NOT
snow the entire time but there will be chances of snow each day at some point
or other. I will be able to get a time
frame on each of these a few days from now but right now it is impossible to
time the disturbances. Of course, it is
also possible that none of this will happen, but right now this is the way it
looks.
Things should finally clear out next Monday with highs in
the low to mid 30’s.
Have a great day!
