Great Stretch of Weather

One couldn't ask for a better beginning to the climatological winter, unless you are wanting snow and cold. Temperatures will be well above average through early next week with no significant precipitation in sight until Monday and Tuesday of next week. Friday looks to be a fantastic 4-golf ball day. The weekend is a little cooler. Some light showers may move in early Monday morning.

Forecast Discussion

There will be no frontal passages until Saturday when a cold front moves through. Warm westerly winds will provide above average temperatures through Friday. Temperatures cool a little for the weekend but they are still above average and the front looks dry.

Another cold front will move through Monday morning with a few showers and a return to near average temperatures. An organized system developing the central part of the country may bring the first substantial rain in awhile by the middle of next week.
