Our next weather change arrives late Saturday afternoon into the evening hours, as a very strong upper-level disturbance cruises close to the area. Widespread rain will move in from the west and intensify through the early morning hours, ending from west to east by noon on Sunday. Don't be surprised if you hear some thunder and experience some gusty winds in the stronger thunderstorms. Nothing severe is expected at this time. Rainfall totals will range between 1 to 2 inches before all is said and done. Afternoon highs on Sunday will reach the upper 60s again.

By late Christmas Eve, a strong cold front will plow through the area. Temperatures will fall into the low to mid 40s by Monday morning, with a north wind gusting to 30 mph. This will create wind chills in the 30s as you wake up Christmas morning.
Skies will clear on Christmas Day, but temperatures will struggle to warm above 52°. Wind chills will be in the 40s all day.
