It’s Friiidaaay!!!

It’s also the Winter Solstice that hits at 3:23 this afternoon. The Sun will be directly over the Tropic of Capricorn. For just a moment you might feel dizzy. Dogs will probably start barking. If you are doing the dishes you might break one. Actually I made all of that up, but it will be the farthest south the Sun will travel and it will now start slowly making the long journey back to the Northern Hemisphere.

Now that that’s out of the way, where were we? Oh yeah. Warm again today! It would be warmer but an increase in high clouds will help keep us from the record of 80 set in 1917. Possible sunrise and sunset enhancement through the weekend as high clouds from time to time will be hangin’ around. The big changes come Christmas Day. A pretty cold cold front will be blowing through along with a storm system. We are still a few days away (sorry kids) so the timing and strength is still “up in the air” (see what I did there?), but it’s looking like at least a chance for rain by Christmas afternoon with snow in the mountains. Snow level could drop close to 4,000 feet with this one by Wednesday morning! Possibly (probably) another storm behind that one keeping us in valley rain and mountain snow chances through much of the week. Stay tuned!

Mostly sunny today near 77. Mostly cloudy tonight mid 40s. Sunny tomorrow mid 70s. Low 70s Sunday. Near 70ish Monday. 10% chance for showers Christmas Day mid 60s. 50% Tuesday night mid 30s. 20% Wednesday mid 50s. 10% Thursday upper 50s. Enjoy!
