Discussion
High pressure will build into the area today and it’ll stay below-normal with temperatures generally confined to the 30’s for highs. The winds will continue to be quite strong this morning, but will tend to diminish later in the day and even further in the overnight hours. Moisture will spread northeastward on Thursday from the southern states and we’ll experience yet another soaking rain event from later Thursday through Friday. Colder air will pour into the region on Saturday following the rain storm and winds will be quite strong out of the northwest as we begin the weekend. One final note, skies should be favorable tonight for the viewing of the green "Christmas comet".
