HAPPY NEW YEAR:  It’s the first day of 2015 and it’s a good looking day for us all.  Expect a good deal of sunshine through the day, with some high clouds slipping in later.  Highs today will top out near 38°.  Overnight, see some clouds arrive with temps dropping to the middle 20s.

HIGHS

FRIDAY: It’s a partly cloudy day as upper level moisture glides into the picture.  We’ll top out near 40°on a dry day.  Overnight, we drop to the upper 20s with more clouds.

WEEKEND:  We’re watching the next storm system move in for our weekend plans.  Saturday looks to start dry with clouds.  Highs top out at 38°.  As we move toward evening, rain begins.  Some areas may experience a period of some freezing rain and icing on trees and power lines, but most will be warm enough for just rain.  Regardless, watch for slick spots.  The heaviest rain falls into the overnight hours.  By Sunday morning, rain begins to taper and winds ramp up.  The warmer air with this system will be here, briefly bringing low 50s for highs before the cold front sweeps it all away into the overnight hours.  By Monday morning, we’re in the 20s for lows!

NEXT WEEK:  Monday is windy and cold with highs back below average.  Expect temps in the lower 30s.  Tuesday, we do low 30s again as a clipper system slides toward us.  It brings snow showers overnight into Wednesday morning before tapering.  It stays windy and cold with highs even colder for mid-week.

Make it a terrific Thursday and here’s to an amazing 2015 for us all!

Take a look at the January averages.  We dip to our lowest point all year this month as we gain more sunlight each day.
