Holiday Cooldown


We got to experience a winter wonderland today as snow fell across the Stateline nearly throughout the entirety of Christmas Eve.  It looks like those of us that wanted a white Christmas had our wishes come true!  We do have a little more snow tonight, with some flurries as well.



As we head through the evening we'll see a few clusters of light snow move through, but not to the degree of what we've been seeing throughout the day.






By the time we reach 8pm we'll start to see more flurries than snow, as the low pressure system that brought the snow will start losing influence on our area.  These will die down after 10pm, giving us a break until about 3am, when we can expect a few more flurries to move through.



Those flurries will die down a little after 6am, leading to a clearing in the sky that'll allow for some sunshine during the late hours of Christmas morning.  However, clouds will move in during the afternoon, limiting sunshine and keeping temperatures in the mid teens for the high.


After Christmas we'll see a big dropoff in temperatures due to a high pressure system moving in from the north and pulling substantial amounts of cold air into our area.  This is the pattern that we'll continue to see as we go through the week, allowing for temperatures to go through a few drops.


This cooldown is going to allow for most of our highs this week to stay in the teens, with chances for highs in the single digits by the end of the week.  While most overnights will be around 0°, a few overnights will see temperatures dipping down into the negatives.

Definitely get those heaters ready, because we're really gonna get a taste of winter weather this week!
