Downright Hot

After the showers end early this morning, today will be downright hot for winter with temperatures approaching 70 in the valleys. Big changes are in store for Wednesday as the temperatures cool down quite a bit and by Wednesday night, a wintry mix is possible. The higher elevations may see some accumulating snow Wednesday night into Thursday but only a dusting is possible in the valleys. Thursday is much colder and windy as well. Seasonal temperatures and sunshine are expected for Friday and Saturday. Sunday is an OK day as well but clouds increase and a wintry mix is possible late Sunday night into Monday morning.

Please pardon some broken pages... We completed the move to new servers Friday night. Now, we are in a position to bring back some broken pages; however, getting everything back to "normal" is still probably takes through the end of January.

Forecast Discussion

A cold front will pass through this afternoon but before it does, temperatures will be the warmest they have been since late November. The front will put an end to the warm temperatures though. You'll notice the chillier air Wednesday and low pressure will form to our south Wednesday and bring in rain Wednesday night. Colder air will continue to filter in Wednesday night and the rain could change to snow before it ends Thursday morning. Higher elevations could see some accumulations but we don't expect accumulations for the valleys at this time.

Thursday is cold and blustery with a few snow showers possible. High pressure controls Friday and Saturday with seasonably cool temperatures and sunshine. Low pressure will move from the central Plains to the Ohio Valley Sunday and bring rain and possibly a wintry mix. Low pressure looks to form to our south Monday bringing the possibility for a wintry mix. Forecast confidence for Sunday and Monday is low at this time so stay tuned.
