       Forecast in detail

       We welcome winter with near-average conditions for the next few days before we see a significant moderation in temperatures just in time for the holiday weekend. On Christmas, temperatures may peak in the 60s. While showers may mar Christmas Eve night into early Christmas morning, those raindrops may be a holiday gift from Mother Nature due to this very dry December — one of the driest on record so far.

       Today (Tuesday): Partly sunny and not as cold as Monday, with highs ranging from the mid- to upper 40s. Light winds are mainly from the northeast. The air is rather dry with dew points in the upper teens to 20s. Confidence: High
