Good Morning!  It’s a pretty remarkable Christmas Week forecast.   It’s not only a storm-free/Dry forecast.  Temperatures will be above normal for several days.  Highs in the 70’s are expected Tuesday through Sunday. Long range models suggest the following week could be several degrees cooler, as we head toward New Years. Here’s my brief video Forecast Discussion.    

TODAY:  Sun/cloud mix mild. High near 64. East winds could gust to 20 mph.  Partly cloudy tonight. Not as chilly.  Low 48.

NEXT FEW DAYS:    Storm-free and dry on this Christmas Week. Highs in the 70’s are expected Tuesday through Sunday.   Lows at night mostly in the lower 50’s.  (Normal 61/38)

The 10 Day model blend temperature trend.  Simply remarkable on this Christmas Week.  Much cooler the following week.

Here’s the 16 day from  the Euro model.  Warm this week.  MUCH cooler next wee as we head toward the New Year.

CHRISTMAS FORECAST:  Christmas Week looks amazingly warm for a huge chunk of America.  Here’s my forecast for us.  

An Amazing ridge of upper ridge of high pressure will be in control. Temperatures over the America Heartland will be running 25-30 degrees above normal.

Take a look at the projected high temperatures across the Southeast US Christmas afternoon.  Attention Santa:  Don’t forget your shorts for your Alabama visit.

Normal hi/lo on Christmas Day would be 60/38.

Christmas Day Records:   82 in 2016 – and 5 in 1983.
