Better shower chances wednesday and into early thursday. Thursday will be a very warm day. Could be 70 on Christmas Eve. That would be a record. Record right now is 69 going back to 1933. Lots of clouds central and western u. S. With High Pressure dominating in the east. Out west, this is why well be so warm. More storms coming on to the pacific. The clouds are coming out of the southwest. That southwesterly flow will push warm air back into the southern and eastern u. S. As we go through the next several days. Cold air is in place. Look at the lake effects really cranking toward the tughill plateau toward albany. Havent seen a lot of lake effects but we had spots in new york state about two feet of snow actually. High pressure in eastern tennessee. Thats going to build up overnight closer to us so the winds will stay calm in many areas overnight. A very cold start on sunday. But sunday looks nice and sunny. Back in the mid, maybe upper 40s in the afternoon. If youre going out tailgating, bundle up for that tomorrow. Dont forget the sunglasses. Monday more clouds, maybe a couple of showers as we get into monday night and tuesday. This moisture is going to try to come up. Theres that shower threat tuesday.
