Thursday morning, brace for cold conditions with wind chills dropping into the teens and a brisk breeze blowing through town. As the day progresses, the winds will ease, but temperatures will remain cold, reaching only the mid to upper 30s.
Friday will bring a return to milder weather, with temperatures jumping back into the 40s and possibly reaching the 50s in some areas as mild temperatures settle in. Throughout the weekend, expect warmer-than-normal temperatures as attention shifts to a developing storm in the Deep South.
This storm is likely to be fueled by mild air, indicating that precipitation will primarily be rain. Although winds will pick up, it doesn't appear to be as strong as the previous weekend's powerful storm. Nonetheless, we'll be keeping a close watch on its progression.
Following the storm, cooler air, though not extremely cold, will move in for the middle of next week. The long range pattern is setting up to have temperatures above normal across the country from Dec.19-25.
