...QUIET PATTERN MEANS LITTLE WEATHER-RELATED DISRUPTIONS FOR MOST
OF THE COUNTRY FOR NEW YEAR'S EVE FESTIVITIES...
...CLIPPER SYSTEM BRINGS LIGHT WINTRY MIX TO PARTS OF THE MIDWEST,
CENTRAL APPALACHIANS, AND MID-ATLANTIC...
LITTLE TO NO PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED FOR MOST OF THE COUNTRY AS
WE RING IN 2024 TONIGHT. BOTH SUNDAY, NEW YEAR'S EVE, AND MONDAY,
NEW YEAR'S DAY, LOOK QUIET, WITH TEMPERATURES GENERALLY RUNNING
WITHIN ABOUT 10 DEGREES OF AVERAGE FOR LATE DECEMBER/EARLY
JANUARY. FORECAST HIGHS FOR THE NORTHERN TIER FROM THE PLAINS TO
NEW ENGLAND WILL BE IN THE 30S AND 40S, AS WELL AS WITHIN THE
INTERMOUNTAIN WEST. THE MID-ATLANTIC WILL SEE HIGHS IN THE 40S AND
50S, WITH 50S AND 60S FOR THE SOUTHEAST/LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.
SOME WARMER TEMPERATURES INTO THE LOW 70S WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR
SOUTHERN TEXAS ON SUNDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL BRING COOLER
CONDITIONS IN THE 30S TO THE CENTRAL PLAINS SUNDAY, AND HIGHS IN
THE 40S FROM PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS EAST THROUGH THE
TENNESSEE VALLEY MONDAY. HIGHS ARE FORECAST IN THE 50S FOR THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND NORTHERN/CENTRAL CALIFORNIA AND IN THE 60S
FOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND THE DESERT SOUTHWEST.
A FEW AREAS WILL SEE SOME LIGHT PRECIPITATION OVER THE NEXT COUPLE
OF DAYS. A LIGHT WINTRY MIX IS FORECAST WITH A CLIPPER SYSTEM
DROPPING FROM THE GREAT LAKES THROUGH THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS
SUNDAY AND INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC MONDAY. LITTLE TO NO
ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR MOST AREAS. SOME OF THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS OF THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS COULD SEE SOME LOCALLY
HIGHER AMOUNTS OF 2-4". ELSEWHERE, SOME LIGHT SNOW MAY FALL IN THE
NORTHERN ROCKIES SUNDAY AS AN UPPER-LEVEL SHORTWAVE PASSES
THROUGH. LIGHT SHOWERS ARE FORECAST MONDAY ALONG THE GULF COAST AS
A PASSING COLD FRONT INTERACTS WITH SOME MARGINALLY AVAILABLE GULF
MOISTURE. FURTHER WEST, A FEW SPOTTY SHOWERS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE IN
THE DESERT SOUTHWEST AS A PACIFIC SYSTEM MOVES ALONG THE
U.S./MEXICO BORDER. HIGH SURF AND COASTAL FLOODING WILL REMAIN A
CONCERN ALONG THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST.
