Good Morning! Dress in layers this morning. At Dawn the thermometer will be in the 20’s but, the wind chill will be in the Teens…perhaps middle Teens. A rude change after 77 on Sunday. Today’s high will only be in the lower 40’s. Tonight will be the coldest night. Wednesday morning looks bitterly cold in the lower 20’s. On New Years Day we may tease 60 degrees. Expect a late week warm-up. Middle 60’s by Friday & Saturday. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected late Friday and especially Friday night and into Saturday. Some experimental Severe Weather Models suggests some strong/severe storms are not out of the question. ‘Tis the season for that, as you know. Here’s my brief video forecast Discussion.
