Start of 2025: Seasonably cool, generally quiet

/ December 31, 2024 at 7:02 PM

2025 gets off to a seasonably cool start in the wake of a cold front that will be coming through overnight tonight. Lows on Wednesday bottom out in the mid-40s, but ongoing cool advection will keep highs around 60° or so despite just about full sunshine during the day. Thursday runs a little cooler, starting in the mid-30s and warming to just the mid-50s in the afternoon, and Friday is essentially a carbon copy, with lows in the mid-30s once again yielding to highs in the mid-50s in the afternoon with plenty of sunshine. Overall, the start to the year is quiet, with the first rain chance of the year coming up on Monday.

Have a happy and safe New Year’s celebration. Here’s to you and yours in 2025!
