Thursday Morning December 22

TODAY: We’ll start off the day with a mostly clear sky with northwesterly winds under 10 mph. Clouds will increase late morning for those west of US 63 and east in the early afternoon leaving temperatures 10 degrees cooler today in the low 40s.

TONIGHT: Clouds will continue to increase overnight with winds becoming southerly under 5 mph. Temperatures will be 5-8 degrees above normal for late December in the upper 20s.

EXTENDED: A complex pattern approaches this weekend. There is a slight chance for ice on Friday morning for those west of US 63 and north of HWY 50. Most forecast models hold off on the rain until the afternoon 12PM-2PM when temperatures are above freezing. However given last weeks scenario, forecast models have not done a great job on picking up ice. If this system moves in quicker, it will move out quicker Saturday morning. Much will depend on timing and temperature profiles. Those north of I-70 will see temperatures near 32-35 overnight and a mix of rain/ snow or period of freezing rain is possible which could cause slick roads from 4-9 AM Saturday, mainly north of I-70. Temperatures will warm into the 40s by Saturday with much of the day remaining dry. Christmas looks breezy & warm with temperatures in the mid to upper 50s, possibly near 60. As a cold front moves in Sunday night, showers and t-storms will increase. A strong storm can’t be ruled out on Sunday evening. Total rainfall amounts for the weekend are expected to come in at .50″ to 1.0″. For additional weather updates follow @ABC17Stormtrack on Twitter.
