'Tis the season?

Radar image at 9:00 pm Saturday night. Base of low pressure system will spiral up the east coast, washing away warm temperatures and bringing cold air back for Christmas.

It was quite the surprise to see temperatures reach 72 degrees in my hometown of Winchester, VA. It just doesn't seem right looking at Christmas lights in spring weather. If you're enjoying this warm weather, I have some bad news for you. If you're not really feelin' these awkward conditions, I have some great news for you.

Temperatures will continue to stay in the upper 60s tomorrow. A low pressure system will sweep into the area early Monday morning bringing colder temperatures for Christmas day. Expect high temperatures to be around 35 degrees by then. Believe it or not, the historical average high temperature for Christmas day in Winchester is 51 degrees. So our high of 35 degrees will be well below average.

For Sunday, expect off and on showers all day long. Don't be surprised if you hear a rumble of thunder between noon and 5 pm. The high will be 67 degrees. Winds increasing.

Monday morning is when the low pressure system will move into the area. Temperatures will fall, winds will get stronger (15 mph), and rain will be possible.

High pressure will be building in Winchester between Tuesday and Thursday. This will bring clear skies and temps below 40 degrees on Christmas day.
