Christmas week is here....

The weather will be cool and quiet for the next few days before our next system rolls in Christmas Eve. Some cold air damming will be in place as the system arrives, and there is some chance of a brief period of freezing rain later Thursday into Thursday night...mainly in the northwest Piedmont. However, due to the overall pattern, it looks like the wedge will get scoured out, so at this point, I don't think any major wnitry precip is in the offing around here. But it is early, and we will watch it.

The rain could linger through much of Christmas day, and then the rest of the weekend looks generally chilly and quiet.

The pattern looks loaded with potential through the end of December into early January. In today's video, I take a look at how my forecast verified for the previous winter storm, look at the details of this week, and show you my thoughts as we head into the new year....
