Rain returns Tuesday night through Thursday
Overnight, a few showers move in, with the biggest impact from this rain coming during the Wednesday morning drive.
A few spotty showers continue through the day, but there’s more dry time in the afternoon.
Thursday, a few showers are likely in the morning, but once the front passes around lunchtime, rain chances will be coming to an end.
Warmer Wednesday and Thursday morning
We top out in the upper 50s/lower 60s on Wednesday and Thursday.
Highs Wednesday will be just before midnight, in the mid- to upper 50s.
Highs Thursday will be just before lunch, in the lower 60s.
Gusty winds
This system is also going to be kicking up the winds again.
While they won’t be as strong as the last system, they’ll still be blowing things around.
The peak of the winds will be Thursday morning, with winds gusting over 40 mph.
Cold and snow return
Behind the rain, colder temperatures return for the weekend, as highs Saturday and Sunday will be in the 30s.
Snow showers look likely Saturday. It’s still too far out to talk totals, but long-range models have been consistent with some snow that would need to be moved. Maybe up to an inch-plus in spots.
Another shot for snow looks possible Monday of next week.
Winter is coming
Winter Solstice is Tuesday (Dec. 21) at 10:58 a.m.
