Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey's First Warning Forecast

Talk about good timing! We were able to get out and enjoy some sunshine and mild temperatures on Christmas. But now a storm system will be moving in, bringing us increasing clouds and then several days of rain.

A slow-moving storm system will spread rain across the area Tuesday and Wednesday. Scattered showers are likely on Tuesday. But there will be long periods of dry weather.

Wednesday will be the wetter day, with some heavy downpours and maybe even a few rumbles of thunder.

A few showers will be possible on Thursday morning as a cold front moves through the region. But most of us should stay dry.

Behind that cold front, we're expecting a significant drop in temperatures. We'll go from highs in the low-to-mid 60s over the next few days, to highs in the 40s and 50s Friday and into the holiday weekend. That means you'll probably need to bundle up as you ring in 2024! Stay tuned!
