We head into Christmas weekend with mostly quiet weather on tap as high pressure remains in command. After another chilly start Friday morning, we will warm into the upper 60s for the afternoon, some 10°+ warmer than what many spots experienced today.

No impediments to sleigh aviation are expected overnight Friday into Christmas morning, which is good news all around. Temperatures will bottom out about 10° warmer on Christmas morning than we will see on Friday in the upper 40s to perhaps low 50s near the coast. Highs in the low 70s will be common on Christmas Day as our warming trend continues, and we turn even warmer on Sunday as highs top out in the mid-70s after starting the day with lows that will run closer to normal highs for this point in the year.

Overall, though, no weather worries for this holiday weekend. Enjoy, be safe, and if you’re celebrating, have a very merry Christmas!
