As of December 27th. there have only been 3 days that have failed to be above average this month. With temperatures in the middle 30's on Wednesday, and 40 degrees or better Thursday through Sunday, December of 2011 will go down in history as one of the mildest Decembers on record.... somewhere between the 5th warmest and the 8th warmest for sure. The month has had only 1.7" of snow so far, and very little is expected before the end of the month. There could be a little snow mixed in with some rain as a Pacific system slides across the area on Thursday and Friday.
It will be partly cloudy on Wednesday with a high in the middle 30's. The wind will switch to the south holding temperatures in the high 20's ovenight on Wednesday night. On Thursday a new system will approach from the west in our fast moving west to east progressive air flow. It could produce a light rain/snow mix on Thursday morning. With a high around 41 on Thursday, there will not be any accumulation of snow. Another disturbance could cause some rain or snow, or a rain/snow mix on Thursday night and Friday. Precipitation is expected to be light, and again there should not be any accumulation of snow with a high on Friday in the low 40's. A strong southwesterly air flow will develop on Saturday pushing temperatures into the middle 40's. Southern parts of Lee and DeKalb counties could be close to 50 degrees on Saturday afternoon. New Year's Eve is expected to be dry with an overnight low in the low 30's. Colder weather will move into the Stateline later on New Year's day, and last through early next week.
