Very Quiet Christmas Throughout The Country
T’was the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a system was stirring, not even an Alberta Clipper with the potential for bombogenisis once it hit the coast.
Good morning everyone. We have a very very quiet 5-7 day stretch coming up here as we make our entrance in Winter today, and the Christmas/Hanukkah week tomorrow and onward. It’ll be so quiet, that once our coastal system slips off the SE coast and out to sea, there will be no major disturbed weather coast to coast for a short time.
SATELLITE
Locally, today will be our last cold day for the period. Expect sunny skies early, then a mix of sun and clouds to round out the day. Highs will be in the mid to upper 30’s and dry.
Tomorrow, the sun returns as does slightly above average temps. Overall it’ll be a comfortable day with highs in the mid to upper 40’s.
REGIONAL RADAR
Monday is looking like the “mildest” day of the stretch, with more sun than clouds and highs in the upper 40’s to near 50. Nothing crazy or unseasonable as far as extreme warm/mild air, but nice.
Tuesday we dip back towards near-seasonal with highs in the low to mid 40’s and sunny skies.
LOCAL RADAR NEW YORK CITY
Christmas Day on Wednesday continues looking quiet and dry, with sun and clouds and highs in the low to mid 40’s. There’s a lot of talk about how “mild” Christmas is going to be, but these temps are near-average as most places in the area average out between 40-43 historically. Believe me, this won’t be a Christmas of 2015 where we saw upper 60’s to low 70’s throughout the area.
LOCAL RADAR PHILADELPHIA
Towards the end of the week, we slip back into a very seasonal low 40’s, with no systems lurking till late next Saturday through that Monday. We already know at this point that our next one will be a rain-maker, and we have no prospects for any major snow into the New Year/first week of January.
