FORECAST DISCUSSION:

Christmas is expected to start off a little foggy, but that fog will clear as the morning goes on. Skies will stay mainly cloudy all day. Rain showers return late this afternoon and into the evening. Not a lot of accumulation is expected, but roads will be just a little wet. Highs will be in the low 40s.

Tonight those light rain chances continue at first, then will eventually die down overnight. Lows will be well above normal for this time of year only falling to the upper 30s. This is comparable to the average daytime high.

Thursday finally brings a few more peeks of sunshine, but not until late in the day. Temps will reach the upper 40s. Rain showers return Friday, and scattered rain is expected the rest of the holiday weekend. Temperatures by this weekend are expected to reach the upper 50s. It will be a warm and wet end of 2024.
