Not much time this morning, but I wanted to put up a quick post...

• Old-fashioned rainy day today. Rain will taper off tonight. 1-2 inches seems likely, with a few spots seeing locally more. Due to dry ground conditions, most flooding issues should be confined to the mountains and foothills.
• Dry and warm Saturday and Christmas Eve. Highs will be in the 60s.
  
• Rain returns Christmas Day. I still am going with the idea of some sort of wedge being in place Christmas, and thus, I continue with a high temp in the 40s for Christmas with good rain chances.
  
• As the upper level trough moves overhead Tuesday, we could squeeze out a few flurries. Not a big deal, but it would be neat to see. Up in the mountains, significant upslope snows could occur Monday night and Tuesday.
• Wednesday and Thursday look quiet.
  
• The next storm system should move through Friday or next weekend. Some models are hitting on the idea of a big-time amplification with that system. I am inclined to agree with them, but any details with that system are impossible right now.

Stay dry today. Some of my family is heading into town, and they will be with us through the Christmas holiday. So, posts might be a tad more infrequent. I will be back in the evening shift for Charlotte Saturday and Sunday. And, Sunday evening, I will be tracking Santa! Be sure and tune in!
