2025 will finish on a chilly note, but temperatures will moderate heading into 2026, with near-normal temperatures expected to start the new year.

We’ll continue to put Monday’s cold snap in the rear view on Wednesday as temperatures continue to trend warmer with high pressure moving eastward. Temperatures will fall to the mid-30s overnight, but increasing cloud cover should keep a lid on further radiational cooling and keep us above freezing. From there, we’ll warm into the low-to-mid-60s as the cloud deck continues to thicken courtesy of a coastal trough taking shape offshore.

After another cold start on Wednesday, we’ll see temperatures climb a bit, though it’ll still be on the chilly side of normal, especially Thursday as a reinforcing front kicks up the cloud cover a bit.
