***Some cold days/nights ahead (especially tomorrow night) before milder and tranquil weather for Christmas, followed by rain and then colder weather***

- Sunny skies the next few days, but the breeze will make it feel even colder, especially tonight through tomorrow night.

- A weak disturbance will bring some clouds for the weekend, but only a very slight chance of a light shower.

- Tranquil and milder for Christmas with nearly calm conditions for Santa's journey through our area.

- Shower chances increase next Tuesday afternoon and especially on Wednesday with rain likely.

- Colder weather behind the system for late next week and New Year's weekend.
