Today is the last somewhat chilly day for a while, although we’ll be slightly above average.
Monday thru Friday we’ll be nothing short of warm – even near record warmth Wednesday, Thursday, Friday (record high is 71° all of these days).
Near-Record Warmth Wednesday thru Friday
Well Above Average Temps Monday thru Friday
Sunday will be the last “cool” day for the foreseeable future. I use the word “cool” lightly, the high of 50° will still be above average (47°).
Highs will be in the 60s to near 70° Monday thru Friday – around 20° above average.
Rain Returns This Afternoon
Today we have showers returning to the forecast by this afternoon/evening. This looks to be fairly light rain, no thunder or anything hazardous. A rain jacket or umbrella will do the trick as you head out for any plans later today. Rain should be gone by sunrise on Saturday.
Cheers to 2026, Starting Off [Mostly] Dry With Seasonal Temps
Here’s to a tornado-free year with a couple of decent snows.
New Year’s Day will be a good start to the year – dry with highs in the upper 50s.
Friday we’ll get a quick shot of rain during the afternoon/evening. Just some light showers, an umbrella or rain jacket will suffice as you head out for any plans. HRRR model gives a guess below:
Quiet & Chilly Start to 2026
Somehow, it’s the last day of 2025 – thankfully we get some decent weather to close out the year.
We’ll be right on average today with a high temp of 49°. If you are headed out to celebrate the New Year downtown, or anywhere else – you’ll want to bundle up. Temps will be in the upper 30s by 8p, down in the low to mid 30s when the clock hits midnight.
Cold but Slowly Warming
We were at 30º at 10:30am but we’re starting a slow warming trend over the next few days. Cold, clear, and dry. Rain returns by the end of the week.
New Years Eve: Windchill should be hovering around 30º at midnight. Clear skies and no rain should make for an enjoyable time outside if you bring your hat and mittens. Rizzy Leo says make some plans and go enjoy yourself.
Cold and Clear
Overnight lows into the upper teens is a shock to the system given our weather last week and yesterday. The good news is that things will be quiet for most of the week. Seasonal cold and and sun. NWS forecast grids show little sky cover until rain returns late in the week.
Potential for Strong Winds Today and Tonight
72º for a high isn’t all bad. However it won’t last much longer. A cold front sweeps in tonight and drops our temperature like a music note on New Years Eve.
We’ll see a 40º difference from 3pm today and 8am tomorrow. This cold front is also bringing some potentially strong winds. Right now the weather service believes the wind stays below severe limits (58mph). I do expect them to issue some sort of wind advisory for us, however, that’s not a sure thing. Some of these winds could launch your inflatable Santa down the street.
Warm and Cloudy vs. Cold and Clear
If it’s going to be warm, can’t it at least be sunny? Sheesh.
We started the day with a dense layer of fog that didn’t thin out until 11am. The temp will hover around 65 or 70 today, overnight, and tomorrow before a cold front will approach from the west. Until then enjoy warm, muggy, and overcast conditions.
Clouds, Drizzle, Warm
Those are the three best words to sum up today’s weather. The warmest temps we’ve seen in a December in years are still hanging around. 70’s for highs Today, Saturday, and Sunday are forecasted before we take a big temperature tumble down to the low 20’s by Tuesday morning.
