The roller coaster of this season’s temperatures continues as the current dip in the jet stream relaxes and milder temperatures return for Sunday.

For Saturday, expect breezy conditions and slightly above average temperatures .  Sunny skies in the morning become obscured by mid level clouds in the late afternoon. Highs near 45.  (Average is 40.)

A weak front passes through New Year’s Eve.

Sunday is milder and sunny with highs near 50. Clouds move in Sunday night with showers on Monday.

A broad upper air trough with some very cold air establishes itself midweek with a return of cold weather here. The position and broadness of the upper air trough keeps the deep cold away from our area. It also keeps snow out of the forecast.
