...A Chilly Start...

We're getting off to a chilly start across the area this morning with
temperatures in the 20s in most locations. Skies are clear and the
day will feature lots of sunshine. Temperatures will climb into the
lower to middle 50s by mid-afternoon. Tonight will be chilly again.
With clear skies and light winds, the mercury will fall into the upper
20s overnight.

THE WEEK AHEAD: Our upper level pattern is transitioning to zonal as
the big upper trough that plagued the Northeast on Sunday and brought
us the colder air lifts out. This means that the upper level winds
will be traveling generally from west to east with little amplitude in
the pattern. We will deal with a disturbance Tuesday night and
Wednesday in that flow. It will spread a few clouds over the area,
along with a slight chance of a shower over western and northern
sections, but those chances are extremely small thanks to the dry
airmass that will be in place. Temperatures tomorrow will rise into
the upper 50s and to near 60 on Wednesday.

By then, a stronger disturbance will be approaching from the west. It
will spread showers into the area on Thursday. The models have been
waffling about the rainfall potential with this system, but suffice to
say, it probably won't be significant. Another, even stronger
disturbance will sweep through on Saturday, brining another chance of
rain and probably thunderstorms. The models have been consistent
about the intensity of this system, but the timing has been all over
the board. Colder air will spread into the area on Sunday.

THE HOLIDAY WEEK: By Christmas Eve morning, it will likely be cold
and mostly cloudy as the low that brought the weekend rains gets
caught in a traffic jam over the mid-Atlantic. Santa should encounter
dry but seasonably cold conditions Christmas Eve night. Christmas Day
should be dry with an increasing southeasterly flow leading to a rise
in moisture levels. Another storm system will arrive Wednesday night
with a healthy dose of rainfall. Fortunately, we will be locked in a
progressive weather pattern with frequent storm systems. Look for
another one on Saturday the 29th and another for late on New Years
Eve. Also fortunately (except for the snow lovers in the crowd) no
really cold air is in sight.

END OF THE WORLD MESSAGE: On this date in 2003, a test message being
created during a training session was accidentally released over the
National Weather Service's transmission network. It warned that
temperatures were going to be heating up as the Earth had slipped out
of its orbit and was hurtling toward the sun. A correction was
quickly issued. Fortunately, no one took the message seriously.

ON THIS DATE IN 1983: A major cold wave was engulfing the Central
U.S. The temperature at Oklahoma City, OK dropped below freezing on
the evening of the
17th and did not rise above 32 again until New Years Eve, a record
setting period of two weeks.
