SUNNY, COOL WEEKEND; RAIN POSSIBLE ON CHRISTMAS DAY… Overnight lows will be near or below the freezing mark tomorrow morning and Sunday morning with highs only in the 50s on Saturday and Sunday. Before we get there, highs will be in the low 60s today across the region with an abundant supply of sunshine. No rain or precipitation is expected today or this weekend. Other than the freezing temperatures, our overall weather pattern remains quiet through Tuesday.

FREEZING TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT AND AGAIN SATURDAY NIGHT… Bring in pets and sensitive plants before tonight as temperatures will be at or below the freezing mark in many communities by 6AM tomorrow morning. The same holds true for Saturday night into early Sunday morning as many communities will be below the freezing mark. There is a chance some communities, particularly further inland, will have subfreezing temperatures again on Sunday night into Monday. A warming trend kicks off early next week and temperatures will be well above freezing for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

WARMING TREND EARLY NEXT WEEK AND INTO CHRISTMAS… We come out of the proverbial “ice box” early next week with highs rising into the upper 50s on Monday, mid 60s on Tuesday, and upper 60s on Christmas Day Wednesday. The 8-14 Temperature Outlook continues to show temperatures running well above our climatological norms for this time of year. That means that from Christmas Day to New Year’s, there is a fairly high probability of high temperatures being in the 60s and 70s.

RAIN CHANCES MAY RISE AROUND CHRISTMAS DAY… Early indications continue to suggest that a chance of showers and thunderstorms may be possible on Christmas Day into the day after Christmas on Thursday. It is too early to know if severe weather issues will be possible. Despite a relatively long lull since our last tornado warning back in September, we note that December is usually a fairly active month for tornadoes across the Deep South. That has not been the case so far this year. Hopefully our quiet trend will continue but we may see an uptick in passing weather systems in the weeks after Christmas. For now, just looking at some rain on or just after Christmas. I will let you know when we know if severe weather will be a real possibility.
