The holiday week starts mild with temperatures trending near average, warming up for the first days of winter and even warmer for Christmas weekend.
A weak disturbance pushes south tonight which will thicken up the clouds into tomorrow morning. Clouds will break apart by mid to late morning tomorrow giving way to sunny skies and temperatures will continue to trend near average across the county.
Winter solstice happens at 1:47pm Wednesday but it will be feeling more like Spring entering the new season.
Wednesday acts as our transition day into a warming trend as high pressure builds over the west into Christmas weekend. While much of the country will be dealing with bitter cold temperatures and for many the coldest Christmas on record, we'll be enjoying warmer weather. Expect temperatures in the 70s for most of the county and near 60 in the mountains.
Abundantly sunny skies and dry conditions will be the trend this holiday weekend.
Tuesday's Highs:
Coast: 60-65°
Inland: 63-69°
Mountains: 49-62°
Deserts: 66-70°
