A Warm Up Coming...

Some flurries from lake effect snow could trickle into out area through tomorrow morning but no measurable accumulations expected. A gradual warm up expected for the first half the week followed by a significant warm up into New Years Day 2011.

Highs reaching near or above 50 looks likely for Friday and Saturday. It won't last however with more seasonal temperatures coming back by Sunday.

Of course the warm weather comes at a price. First anticipate the snow pack to melt away and some dense fog as well. Also a snow rain mix on Wednesday night changing to all rain for the remainder of the week.

The models have suggested severe weather is on tap for New Years Eve and Day. While no specific forecast for now, I might suggest anyone with an outdoor celebration make alternate plans.
