Last week’s weather gave us just about everything: We started cool, turned warm, got a little wet and then ended on a cold note. Even so, we can’t complain a smidge about November. Temperatures averaged over 5 degrees above normal and we received only 63 percent of normal rainfall. In short, it was warm and dry.
Now we have a fresh start with December. What’s in store for us this month? Well, expect much of the same temperature wise. Overall, it will be warmer than normal. However, expect to pack the umbrella more. It will rain a lot more as storms move across the county. There will even be a few chances for snow, but I do not see any big snow storms. We are going to have to wait a while before we have a chance for those.
The weather this week will feature wet and warmer conditions to start and end the 7-day forecasting period. It rains most of the day on Wednesday and then a storm comes up from the south to bring us rain or showers on Tuesday (12/8). Other than that it will be sunny, but you’ll need a coat.
On Wednesday it’s gon’ rain! Expect rain and showers throughout most of the day. Temperatures will be in the lower 50s so it will be raw and wet. Yuck.
The rain will move out on Thursday, but it will be a chilly day with a stiff breeze. Temperatures will stay in the 40s during the day.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday will all be dry and cool. Each day temperatures will rise to around 50 for a high and at night drop to near freezing. If you are out and about for evening weekend festivities keep the coat nearby!
We start the new work-week on Monday dry and a little warmer. It will turn cloudy in the evening.
On Tuesday we’ll watch rain move into the area from the southwest. Right now this looks like showers or possibly heavy rain. Either way, know that water will be falling from the sky on Tuesday!
The weather winner of the week is Sunday; the weather loser is Wednesday.
