Mild pattern brings unseasonable warmth through the week of Christmas

 Temperatures will hold in the single digits for some through midnight, but increasing cloud cover will rise temperatures back into the teens by the early morning hours tomorrow. Tomorrow's high is closer to the low 30s by the afternoon.

The next round of precipitation could bring a period of freezing drizzle early Monday morning before temperatures warm enough for liquid rain. Be cautious of any slick spots that may develop, especially given pavement temperatures may be a few degrees cooler than the air temperatures!

Much milder weather is then set to follow over the next few days leading into Christmas, especially with our overnight lows. Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday nights will only drop into the upper 20s and near 30°. This will limit how much re-freezing of the snow we see at night, only increasing how much melts over the coming days.

The milder pattern will also set the stage for a wetter one, starting Christmas Eve. Periods of rain showers may be possible almost every day from there until next weekend, with some pockets of steady rain possible. It won't be raining the entire time, but it will be a gloomy and dreary stretch with on and off rain showers.
