Good morning! After a chilly first weekend of Winter, the coldest air will start to fade today. Upper 50’s will, feel pretty nice. It’s an improvement. Temperatures will slowly start to recover through Christmas week. Meanwhile, we’ll be dry through Christmas Eve. The next chance of showers will arrive by Christmas Day, as a weakening storm system approaches. Christmas is likely to be very mild with highs in the middle 60’s. Another storm system arrives by late Friday and Saturday. Here’s my brief forecast discussion.
