Good news for last minute Christmas shoppers.

Sunny, dry and cool weather will greet shoppers today and Friday. The big news is the low pressure area that is forecast to form in the Gulf of Mexcio by Friday night and bring rain to our area on Christmas day. If, and I say If there was enough moisture left in the atmosphere when cold air arrives on Saturday, we could possibly squeeze a snow flurrie or two out and that would be great for Christmas. I think the chances are slim at this time, but will continue to monitor the situation just in case later models runs start changing their minds. In any event, it is going to be much colder going into Christmas night lasting into the middle of next week. Rex
