It's December, and only 24 days until Christmas...

My deepest apologies today for not having my seven day graphics, they simply won't upload and I'm not sure why. This has happened before and I expect it to work again by tomorrow.

The 7-day forecast keeps highs for the week on average between 35-40 and lows in the mid to upper 20s. It will be partly sunny tomorrow. Wednesday will have a chance of rain/snow, turning to light snow Wednesday night-Thursday. After a slight break on Friday, we will have a better shot at snow on Saturday. A cloudy day on Sunday will be followed by another chance of light snow on Monday.

Concerning the Sunday-Monday snow...I'm still thinking that we will see some snow, but accumulations look to be SMALL, because of the warm and wet ground. If this forecasts holds, however, we would get at least a minor(1") accumulation on Monday.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE!!!

You may notice the snow chances suddenly bouncing up onto the 7-day forecast. Some people are saying this could be a huge snowstorm for us, but I'm not buying this forecast at all. It's obvious that people are excited for the first chance of a real good snow, and they want to make the most of the forecast. Computer models are trending to take this storm to our east. I might turn out to be wrong, but for now, the snow chances will stay LOW!!!

A note on my forecasts: I always forecast for what the area will see on average in the area. Many television stations, as they are required, forecast for the official station, which is the airport. The airport is much warmer, especially on sunny days, than an area average. So, my forecasts temps will almost always be lower than a TV station.

The chance of rain on Friday night is more or less diminishing. Some models continue to show a chance of rain with less than 1/4" accumulations, so I will keep the rain chance in for now...

A few notes: Correction: Date on top should be 11-24-08. Tomorrow morning could hold a few snow flurries/showers.

As promised, I now bring you Marc Weinberg's winter prediction:

"I think we must look to the prevailing long wave pattern to determine what to expect. There has been a prevailing east coast trough with ridging in the west. In my opinion, the oceanic heat currents will not change or be strong enough to alter that. To me that would be a near or slightly below normal winter on the temperature front and near normal to slightly below normal in precip."

Please note that the rain chance for Sunday has a moon behind it, meaning that it is a NIGHTTIME rain chance only (the same thing goes for Friday).

Coming Monday: Marc Weinberg's thoughts on our winter...
