Good Morning! A Cold Front is approaching the state. Early this morning showers are already on the prowl. The risk of scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue today and this evening. But, the main event will be late tonight, in the overnight hours, as a “squall line” of strong storms crosses the state. Some storms could be severe. Most of us are in a Marginal Severe Risk. Behind the main line, the risk of showers will continue until mid to late morning until the frontal passage. The rest of Sunday will be windy and colder with falling temperatures. Expect a freeze Sunday night. Monday will be a raw, brisk day. Could be a total of three freezing mornings. But, next week looks primarily storm-free and dry. Here’s the progress of the fronts this evening and again Sunday morning.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy and mild for December. High 75. Random scattered showers and thunderstorms will be around from time to time. South winds 6 to 12.
