Good morning!

Skies are mostly clear early on this Christmas morning and temperatures range from the low 30s in Clifton down to the low 20s further inland, winds are light.

High pressure building into the area will give us a rather nice Christmas Day with seasonably cool temperatures. Skies should be mostly sunny this morning then partly sunny this afternoon, winds will be light.

Continued dry with seasonably cool temperatures tomorrow through Thursday.

A low pressure system is expected to give us rain on Friday which may start as a wintery mix over the higher elevations inland. Temperatures will warm to well up into the 50s with 60 degrees possible.

Saturday will be dry with mild temperatures.

Colder on Sunday with a low chance of snow as a low pressure moves offshore to our south.
