Weather Forecast from the National Weather Service

– Blustery and cold this morning, then much lighter winds (but still chilly) for the afternoon. – Warming trend develops on Saturday and continues into next week. Above normal temperatures are strongly favored (>70%) all of next week.

– The persistent above average temperatures and largely quiet/dry forecast should preclude any significant pre-holiday travel concerns in or near the local area.

– The next chance for moisture, which could come as rain or snow, doesn`t come until late on Christmas Day, or the day after. Meaningful snow accumulation is unlikely.
