.SYNOPSIS...
 
HIGH PRESSURE WILL PROVIDE A DRY DAY TODAY...WITH HIGHS ABOVE
FREEZING ACROSS THE LOWLANDS.  THE MORNING CLOUDS WILL GIVE WAY TO
SUNSHINE.  A WARM FRONT WILL LIKELY BRING FREEZING RAIN LATE TONIGHT
INTO THURSDAY MORNING.  THIS WILL CHANGE TO RAIN THURSDAY MORNING AS
TEMPERATURES RISE ABOVE FREEZING.
 
A FURTHER WARMING TREND CLOSES OUT THE WEEK AND YEAR...USHERING IN
DAYTIME HIGH TEMPERATURES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN FELT SINCE NOVEMBER.
 
THE NEW YEAR WILL BRING A NEW COLD FRONT...WITH RAIN SHOWERS AS IT
APPROACHES.  WHILE THE FRONT WILL BE STRONG...IT IS OF PACIFIC...NOT
ARCTIC...ORIGIN.  SO...TEMPERATURES IN ITS WAKE WILL BE AT MOST ONLY
A FEW DEGREES BELOW NORMAL INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
