Merry Christmas! I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays. After having some pretty nice albeit not winter-like weather for the holidays a more active period is in store. Over the next week a few different systems will move through the region with each bringing the possibility of severe weather for northern areas of the region. The first system will move in Wednesday afternoon and may linger into the evening. Right now there's some uncertainty with the tornado threat, but we may see the risk level increased to enhanced over the next few days if confidence increases. I think* the worst threat will be a little west of the region but we'll see. Expect a damaging wind threat as well.
The threat returns on Saturday ahead of another frontal system. Details on this system's track and strength are still uncertain so we should see several adjustments to this forecast prior to the weekend. Timing and risk level is undetermined at this point but the risk could be relatively high if we see a strong-ish system track far enough to the south.
More to come on both of these, for now just know that severe weather is possible mid week and over the weekend.
Warm weather (for this time of year) will continue through the end of the year but beyond that we might see a return to normal temps (i.e. cooler) as we get beyond New Year's Day.
That's it for today. Unless there's a big change for Wednesday's forecast I'll probably wait until Wednesday morning to send the next update.
Have a great week.
Chris
