Christmas Week Is Upon Us….

December 23, 2024 7:01am

Christmas Week has come. From the chatter last week that how “warm” the weather was going to be ahead of and for Christmas, it’s playing out not that bad for those(🤚)needing a bit of wintry signs to add to the festive feel of the season.

Lets start with this morning.

Temps are plenty cold out there this morning with valley temps running just below 0 to the single digits. Teens, to twenty on the tops.

■Going forward, temps today running above freezing for most, however that occurs with a bone dry air mass and a low sun angle. That limits melt outside of direct sunny areas.

Overnight temps hold steady or even rise ahead of the moisture. That 2 to 4 hour snow window comes in and exits early Tuesday morning. .5 to 1.5 looks to be the snowfall range off modeling, then a transition to light freezing drizzle possible and that’s the main reason Winter Weather Advisories are up.

The limited window of snow, then transitions in to snizzle and freezing drizzle as the brief may but limited snow period ends.

■ Winter Weather Advisory areas. These are again, mainly for that potential transition after some light snow occurs.

The DGZ dries out rapidly, lower levels look to stay saturated and freezing mist, drizzle can glaze surfaces.
