As Christmas day approaches, those dreaming of a white Christmas might need to shelve their hopes for the coming year. The week leading up to the holiday is expected to be dry, the mercury to gradually rise, seemingly ignoring the seasonal call for colder climes. Residents can plan to bask in a "Mostly sunny, with a high near 54" for Tuesday, with slightly warmer evenings paired with "Partly cloudy, with a low around 35" conditions, Tuesday night. The calm wind patterns seem to continue unbothered, assuring a placid weather front in the lead-up to the holiday festivities, according to the NWS report.
While the beginning of the week promises tranquil weather, the latter part does introduce a slight unpredictability to the mix. From Thursday onwards, overcast skies will become a common backdrop. "Partly sunny, with a high near 52" on Thursday will shift toward cloudier nights, with "Mostly cloudy, with a low around 38" on Thursday night, providing slightly warmer nights as indicated by the National Weather Service.
The build-up of clouds is to finally break into showers towards the weekend, with a "30 percent chance of showers" by Friday. The likelihood of rain increases to a "40 percent chance of showers" for both Friday night and Saturday, detailed by the National Weather Service. Daytime temperatures are predicted to hover steadfastly around the mid-50s mark, with evenings bringing with them a subtle chill, creeping up to the low 40s. These periodic showers might put a damper on post-Christmas outdoor plans, but they also signal the changing rhythm of the weather as a crier of the new year just around the corner.
