Some of our thinking has changed for this upcoming event, particularly regarding the round of storms arriving early Friday morning.
“Round One” – 3a thru 8a Friday Morning
Now that the high-res models have come into range, it appears that this first round of storms may end up carrying a low-end severe threat.
Before we jump into the heavy rainfall and maybe severe weather talk, I would like to highlight the well above average temperatures we’ll see today thru Friday. Our record daily high for Thursday and Friday is 71°, so we’ll likely either tie or come very close to breaking it both days. Our low of 63° on Friday is expected to shatter the daily record warmest low temp of 59° set in 1880.
Clouds will be fairly pesky today, lingering for a while. Regardless, we’ll still have comfortable temperatures as highs warm into the mid 60s.
Temps well above average will continue thru Friday. We’ll get close to our daily record high Thursday and Friday (71°).
Today marks the beginning of our warm stretch of weather. Highs in the 60s thru Friday, well above average for this time of year.
Rain chances return on Thursday, more likely so during the back half of the day. No hazardous weather expected on Thursday.
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).
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
