Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey's First Warning Forecast
If you are looking to pick out a Christmas tree or put up the Christmas decorations this weekend, you have two choices: Warmer, wet and windy or chilly and breezy.
Expect scattered showers on Saturday mainly from mid morning to mid afternoon ahead of a cold front.
Before that front arrives, expect above-normal temperatures with highs in the mid-to-upper sixties.
The rain should be gone by Saturday evening, and then the colder air comes rushing in.
We are looking at high temperatures on Sunday 15 to 20° cooler than Saturday. Most of us won’t make it out of the 40s.
Monday is looking milder and mainly dry, with high temperatures in the mid 50s.
But a slow-moving cold front will bring a chance for showers Tuesday, Wednesday and early Thursday.
Expect high temperatures in the lower 60s Tuesday and Wednesday before falling into the 50s for the rest of the work week.
It looks like we will have more rain chances than actual rain next week.
Most long range forecast models paint in less than an inch of rain over the next seven days.
