Quiet and Warm Weather Ahead
Cool & Quiet New Year's Eve
Wonderful New Year’s Weather
If you were hoping for a winter wonderland to ring in the New Year, the forecast has other plans! 🌡️✨ We’re looking at a prolonged period of quiet, mostly beautiful weather across the plains. With high pressure settling in, those heavy coats might be staying in the closet this week as we see highs reaching the 60s and 70s. What to watch for: Outdoor Plans: It’s a great week for hiking or yard work, but remember the ground is extremely dry. Fire Risk: "Light" winds don't mean "zero" risk. Be cautious with cigarettes, trailer chains, and equipment given how dry and dormant the grasses are. Thursday: Keep an eye out for a stray sprinkle, but you might have better luck counting the sprinkles than actually measuring any rain. Enjoy the sunshine! ☀️
