Discussion

A cold front passed through the region last night and today will be on the chilly side with a stiff NW wind making it feel even colder than the actual air temperatures. Another weak low pressure system could produce a bit of rain on Christmas Day and then a significant winter storm is likely to have an impact at the end of the week. There is potential for substantial icing and/or snow around here by later Friday and Friday night with a strong high pressure system to our north acting as an important source of cold air through the event.
