Tuesday Morning December 13
TODAY: Flurries are possible for those near I-70 this morning. Areas south will see light rain through 9AM-10AM and closer to I-44 where freezing drizzle is possible. Accumulation is not expected. Roadways near HWY 54 and south of HWY 50 we’ll keep an eye for icy spots as temperatures continue to fall to freezing by sunrise. An arctic front passes through this morning leaving descending temperatures through the day. It will feel like 14-18 this morning, climbing only to 20-23 in the afternoon with a northerly wind up to 15 mph during the day.
TONIGHT: Skies look to be mostly clear by evening. It will be a colder night as actual air temperatures fall to the mid teens. Winds will be light and from the north under 5 mph tonight and early Wednesday. We’ll want to keep an eye for patchy fog developing overnight.
EXTENDED: Temperatures then stay below freezing until Friday afternoon. By Friday night a warm front looks to lift, increasing temperatures overnight and bringing a chance for thunderstorms through Saturday. Over the weekend, Saturday will be the milder day with highs near normal in the low 40s. As a cold front starts to move in by Saturday night, the changeover from rain to a wintry mix is possible. By Sunday morning a northwest breeze and dry air takes hold as high pressure starts to return and sunshine, along with frigid temperatures with highs in the low 20s.
