Forecast for Wednesday, December 20, 2017

Pretty average day for this time of year yesterday with the high and the low just one degree above average. We hit a high of 65 after a low of 40. A little warmer this afternoon as we anticipate the arrival of some cold air tomorrow. The cold front should arrive just after the Winter Solstice at 7:28 a.m. and continue to blow through during the day as a storm tracks along the Arizona/Utah border. Highs only in the mid 50s and it will feel colder with NW breezes 10-15 mph and gusty. Winds relax tomorrow night and the cold dry air will allow any remaining “heat” to radiate into space (echo: space space space…). Temperatures will fall like something dropped from a high place (perhaps like a rock, for example). A HARD FREEZE WATCH is in effect for Thursday night/Friday morning so be ready to watch a hard freeze. Lows should be in the mid to upper 20s to start the day Friday. Brrrrrr. A cool day again on Friday with a high in the mid 50s and another freezing morning to start the day Saturday. High pressure starts to move back in this weekend with warming temperatures. Sunny Saturday and Sunday mid 60s. Upper 60s Christmas Day. Near 70 Tuesday.
