Another round of showers is likely tomorrow afternoon into the evening as the cold front approaches but the main weather story for tomorrow will be the warmth and the wind. Temperatures will jump into the low to mid 70s tomorrow afternoon as the cold front weakens to our west while southerly winds gust to near 25mph.

The front will move through early Friday morning and settle just to our south during the day. As a result, expect a damp but rather warm Christmas Day with a few showers possible, especially during the late afternoon and evening. Highs will be in the low to mid 60s.

Rain chances increase Friday night and Saturday as the front moves back northward. Highs will be in the upper 50s to low 60s Saturday.

Rain chances decrease through Saturday night and Sunday but it will remain warm, with highs on Sunday back up into the upper 60s to near 70°.

Another system will bring rain to the area early next week.

By the end of next week, the pattern looks to change, bringing in much colder and more seasonable air. How long the cold sticks around remains to be seen.
