Good Ring-in-2006 Weather!

An early entry today... as I know I am going to be busy later on. It is a very exciting day here in the forecast center... as Meteorologist Jeff Penner is getting married!!!! We are so very happy for him, and wish Jeff and his bride, Edi, much happiness!! :) I am going to the wedding this evening... and I will try to snap a nice picture to post either later tonight or Sunday.

Now... on to the forecast!

We will be experiencing mild weather as we ring in the new year! Here is the break down:

8 PM: 46 degrees, partly cloudy
MIDNIGHT: 42 degrees, partly cloudy
3 AM: 39 degrees, partly cloudy

Not too bad at all... temperatures will be above average! Then for your New Year's Day holiday... we are tracking another storm! Here it is on the NAM:

Does that look familiar to you? It seems like we've seen one of two similar looking maps lately! :) The storm coming SO close to KC... and lacking any significant moisture. The GFS has this storm bringing us light wrap-around rain on Monday morning:

But, again, it looks VERY light. Both Sunday and Monday look pretty windy, too... with highs in the mid to upper 50s Sunday (depending on cloud cover)... and cooler with highs in the 40s for Monday.

What are all of you doing for NYE? Celebrating at home, or going out for a night on the town? Whatever you do... Have a WONDERFUL time!! Be safe!
