I’ll start off with good news, and that is that our drought situation has improved. It is not gone, but it has improved.
Davidson has been left with a Moderate Drought, while WillCo. is under a Severe Drought. Better than the Extreme Drought we were dealing with.
The bad news is that over the next 7 days there doesn’t look to be much help with that, although there are some rain chances, so let’s discuss.
Tonight light rain will spread across the area, lasting overnight into Friday morning.
HRRR model (above) shows the majority of the rain falling while most of us are asleep, with only a few showers left to deal with Friday AM rush hour. Overnight, winds could pick up, with gusts up to 35 – 40mph possible, secure Santa and his reindeer before they go flying.
Most of the rain should be gone by Friday lunch; your Friday evening plans, including the Franklin tree lighting look dry.
Saturday low rain chances reemerge.
The HRRR model (above) shows a majority of the rain staying to our SE, but a few stray showers coming in during the morning to lunch hours. The system should pull away in the afternoon, leaving evening plans dry, but confidence is a little shaky in that.
Sunday rain chances exist, but they are low. Models are confused on timing, will have to wait and see on that.
Rainfall totals from this weekend look to be in the 0.25″ – 0.75″ range.
No severe weather chances exist with any of this.
Temps now thru early next week will run around average to slightly above average. We’ll enjoy 60s for high temps this weekend. We’ll stay away from freezing temps until mid next-week.
