A Warm Storm
The rain storm from Saturday is now moving rapidly to the southeast. Christmas Day will be nice day with mostly sunny skies & highs in the 40s. We will now turn our attention to the high plains where downslope winds will develop. These winds blow down in elevation (west to east), forcing the air to warm. These winds will create a warm airmass to our west on Sunday. This warm air will spread to us by Monday. Below our 4 pictures of the temperatures at 5000 feet. The orange & yellow colors are the warm air. See how they spread east with time. The upper left picture is from 6 PM Saturday. The lower right is for 6 AM Monday. See how the wall of warmth is on our doorstep. Monday will be around 60 degrees.
Happy Holidays!

The good thing is that our wind speeds were up overnight. This helped dry out most of the pavement... before temperatures dropped.
