12/23- No Change to Xmas, Active New Year's?

Happy FRIDAY everyone- and for many, the last day before Christmas Vacation!

Today is going to be fine, and the forecast remains entirely unchanged from yesterday (though I now think that tomorrow's storm will be all rain except in the far northwest hills). Otherwise, it will pour for much of the day but we will dry things out for Sunday, Christmas Day. As we head towards New Year's next weekend though, it does appear as though an active pattern will be developing with storm potentials of some kind on Friday...and New Year's Day (Sunday 1/1/17). I assure you I will be watching it as the time approaches. Any change to that forecast timing could cause issues for the revelers in Times Square!

Today in weather history- December 23, 1989- An arctic snap drops temperatures to record levels across much of the Central USA, with temperatures in New Orleans falling to 11 degrees(!!) and -4 at San Angelo, TX! To add insult to injury, a major storm develops along the southeast coast and when coupled with the major cold snap dropped 13.5" of snow on Cape Hatteras. Ouch. All of these are all time record figures for their area.
