December is on a wet streak! It has rained every day this month and today will be no exception. Showers from a system in the Mississippi Valley are moving through the Midwest and will threaten our area, especially this afternoon and tonight. We can expect overcast skies, some fog,, seasonably mild temperatures in the low to mid 50s, and periods of rain. Southerly winds will prevail throughout before a return of high pressure in the overnight hours switches the wind direction to the north. The proximity of the high to the departing low will lead to a tight pressure gradient and thus some very windy conditions: winds gusting to 30 mph overnight are possible. Temperatures will drop into the mid to upper 30s overnight and will rebound on Sunday to only the mid to upper 40s. The winds will subside somewhat on Sunday, but will remain significant at 10 to 15 mph and thus make for wind chill values in the lower 30s. There will, however, be plenty of sunshine tomorrow and thus a better-looking day!. Thereafter, Monday will be a mostly cloudy and chillier while Tuesday will bring the threat of showers and perhaps some light snow in the overnight hours into Wednesday. The end of the week looks to be far less eventful with partly to mostly sunny days and colder than normal highs in the low to mid 40s ( the seasonal norm is now 50). Keep the umbrella handy today and enjoy your weekend!
