Your Weather News @ December Edition 2024

[Deanna777]

Well, here in Vermont, we have a little over a week to go before it is the first day of Winter (Dec. 21st), but it will certainly be feeling like the dead of Winter for the first part of the weekend.


Skies will be clearing out for the most part of overnight, the winds will die down, and that will set us up for some good radiational cooling - when any warmth in the air just radiates out into space. Bottom line it will be "Cold overnight (tonight) and even colder on Saturday night after a mostly sunny day to start the weekend".

The first half of Saturday will continue to feature lots of sunshine. Then clouds will be on the increase late in the day as a system approaches from the West. This system will be tracking mainly to our South, but it could kick up a few rain or snow showers along the way.

Then a stronger system will move in on Monday night into Tuesday. It will turn out of the South on Monday night as temps rise (this is not good for the start of the snowmobile season which is on Dec. 15th). Tuesday will be mild (temps in the 50's), but also rainy. As the system moves away, the rain may end up as some sleet and/or snow on Tuesday night.

There will be a break in the action on Wednesday, before another stronger system tries to get itself organized for late week, heading into the weekend (before Christmas).

Weekend Weather 12/14 - 12/15

:yes:...Welcome to my local area weather news. .... :bbq:
Yesterday's little bit of sunshine was great.
The wife and I enjoyed a car road trip. I then took her to a favorite restaurant. Something like a special date. She really enjoyed the time. ....hyea:

Currently cloudy sky at 23°F. We still have some snow on the grass, maybe about a half inch or so. Just like others have said it will be gone by Sunday. Warmer temperatures are coming.

Today's sunshine is going to be warmer than yesterday. Weekend warm up is a good thing for me.
High of 45°F with some rain showers coming tonight.
Low at 40°F.

Sunday's high at 50°F with off and on all day rain.
Low of 43°F. Rain showers.

Have a Safe Time with your friends. ....:thumbup:

It has been cold here. We had rain yesterday most of the day. Three states Norlth in Duluth MN they had 38 below zero. I remember that weather and sure do not miss it. :bowdown:

 

[Little Blue]

Monday evening now. Currently cloudy sky at 51°F.
High today of 52°F. Off and on all daya rain today.
Low at 47°F.

Definitely going to be a little learning time needed with the new format.

Have Blessed Day My Friend. ....

 

[ARtraveler]

We have had ran most of the day today. Low 60's for awhile. Cooler weather is on the way.

 

[Little Blue]

Well this Forum Format has a lot of good stuff. It will take a little time to get the switch in my head. I believe that most of us will be able to handle this situation.

Yesterday's rain was just plain terrible. I still have water standing in my yard. Today is going to be a drier day for me. Currently mostly clear sky at 38°F. The moon is beautiful this morning.

High of 48°F with some sunshine.
Low at 35°F. Beginning of the cold temperatures.

Christmas is only 8 days away.
Stay Healthy and Enjoy your Life.

Today's high in the desert will be 72. Tomorrow we'll see 81! And it will be at or near 80 until the middle of next week. Really enjoying the winter sun. The breeze is very light. Overnight lows will hover between the mid 40s to 50 degrees. I really like the new look of the forum. But the button that brought up new posts for each thread is missed. For me that feature was a real time saver. Sure hope we get that back. Stay safe..... Jim

Another rainy day for us here in Indiana. Most of the rain showers should be gone by noon. Currently raining at 38°F. A good temperature to keep the freezing stuff in check

Today's high at 41°F. It's mostly cloudy in the afternoon.
Low of 27°F.

Christmas is only 7 days away.
Stay Healthy and Enjoy Life. ...

We will be getting a fast-moving clipper system that will be coming thru for the rest of the evening and into the overnight hours with generally light snow. But the valley locations will be warm enough to get mainly rain showers out of this clipper, with just a little bit of snow mixed in as it moves off to the East during the night.

Snowfall amounts will generally be in the 1-3" range for most of the locations away from the Champlain Valley, but there will be a couple of inches more in the mountain areas.

The temps will be going backwards on Thursday, falling thru the low 30's and into the 20's as we go through the afternoon as cold air moves on blustery NW winds.

Another clipper system will bring just a few snow showers on both Friday and Saturday with minor accumulations. But that will be followed by a reinforcing shot of cold air, just in time for the weekend and the start of next week. That Arctic air mass will be the coldest one that we have experienced around here in a long time. There could be lots of sub-zero temps both on Saturday and Sunday morning, and especially on Monday morning.

But those temps will be moderating as we head into Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. There is a chance for few snowflakes falling on both of those days.

The current temp is 34 degrees.

Happy Holidays to everyone!

Today's sunshine is going to be just a handful of hours. Yesterday was a gray Day here in Indiana.

Everything is good for now.
Have a Blessed Day My Friend.

Remember to check on friends and family. ....

Friday morning and I have some rain showers. Probably turn to freezing rain and snow in an hour or two. This will make the rush hour to work a little late. Hopefully everyone will plan ahead and leave a little extra time for travel.
Currently cloudy sky at 33°F.

Today's sunshine is very small if any.
High today of 35°F with some rain showers.
Low at 27°F.
Enjoy your Day and Stay Healthy.

Friday night (12/20/2024) We have some light snow falling now. The light snow will continue to make the roads slick through the evening and into the overnight hours. Then steadier snow will taper off to more on-and-off showers, and they'll be confined mainly to the higher elevations. We will end up with about 1-3" of snow falling through Saturday, with a couple of inches more possible in the mountains.

The bigger deal will be how cold it is going to get over the weekend. The temps will go nowhere on Saturday, dropping through the teens and ending up in the single digits, both above and below zero by Sunday morning. Those temps, combined with brisk NNW winds, will make it feel, with the wind chills, like teens BELOW Zero by Sunday Morning (hurry up Spring!!!) It will stay cold and blustery through the day on Sunday despite a good deal of sunshine. The wind will settle down on Sunday night, but the actual air temps will be sub-zero for a lot of us. This will be the coldest air that we have had in a long time.

Then those temps will start to moderate as we go into next week, warming up to near normal levels by Christmas. And there may be some snow activity on Tuesday (Christmas Eve) some festive flakes falling to make it look just right. I am not going anywhere this weekend due to this very cold weather.

The current temp is 22 degrees; it's lightly snowing; and the plow trucks have been out and about taking care of the roads.

Happy Holidays to everyone. Stay safe and healthy!

Winter Solstice = Longest darkness and shortest amount of daylight of the entire year.

 

[RapidSpyder]

And now the days get longer, I’m all for that. At least for those of us in the northern hemisphere.

The Snowbirds are getting their money's worth here in the desert. We've been in the low 80s the last few days. Today will be the same. Blue sky, no clouds, light breeze. I don't remember the last time we had any rain. Stay safe..... Jim

 

[Little Blue]

I have been fighting to get over the weekend 'cold'. My wife tried to stay I had covid-19. Blessed her so much for the tip. I have a sinus infection as per the home town clinic. Almost makes me feel good again.

Tiss the Season of Good Cheer. I hope to make the best of it. Stay Warm and Healthy.

Currently cloudy sky at 28°F with a wind chill of 33°F.
Today's high should be about 41°F, with clouds and a little rain shower this evening.
Low of 24°F.
Still calling for rain for Christmas.
Just days away now. ...

Currently it's 72 here in the desert. The high today was 75. Humidity at 19% and there is a 4 MPH breeze. There are no clouds. Overnight low will be 52. New neighbors are having a Christmas get together this evening. It's a patio, bring your own chair, and byob affair. Looking forward to meeting my new neighbors and celebrating with all. Stay safe..... Jim
