12/28 – Rob Knight’s Workweek/Year End Outlook

Warmer temps will continue to move in through mid-week…

The main change in the forecast will occur on Wednesday…showers will become somewhat more numerous very late in the day Wednesday and more so overnight Wednesday night.

Confidence is increasing in a wet and possibly severe end to the year. There is still considerable uncertainty with regards to strength, timing and track but all indications point to Thursday and Thursday night.

Some aspects that suggest we could luck out and miss the worst of the weather. There are many factors that suggest we could see a rather potent line of storms and possibly a few severe storms even ahead of the line. In addition there could be heavy rain as the line moves east but the individual cells will move more NNE and could train over the same areas. However, there is also the possibility that we get split with very heavy rain to our northwest and north and then strong to severe storms off to our east and northeast.

After this system moves through we will be cooler and drier to hit the first weekend of the new year. We will likely remain under this pattern through the first half of the weekend and slowly transition Sunday.
