With record warmth forecast for Christmas, we need to look at what the potential is if conditions trend even warmer. We take many weather forecast models and combine them in a way to create a set of probabilities that we interpret into high-end potential. Those high-end numbers put the all-time December records in play.
Above average temperatures continue through Saturday, then cooler next week. Near/ record high temperatures likely Wednesday-Saturday, including Christmas Day. Cold front moves through the region Sunday, bringing cooler temperatures & low rain/ thunder chances.
Above average temperatures and near to above average precipitation is favored to end the month of December.
