Next Week: Another Clipper, White Christmas?, “Mild” Late Week

Monday includes another clipper. Trending more for the late AM/PM hours.

Leaning more towards snow now, but a little bit mixed precipitation is possible.

Highs Monday in the upper 20s to mid 30s.

Lingering mixed precipitation into Tuesday AM.

Christmas Eve into Christmas trends drier with partly to mostly cloudy skies.

Highs back in the 30s Tuesday.

Spotty chances will hold at the moment from Christmas into late week.

But with highs from the low 30s to low 40s, we will be trending more towards a mix/rain/drizzle.

On a positive, traveling on Christmas doesn’t look too bad this year on the roads.

Thursday & Friday still could include a few spotty showers/drizzle.
