SUMMARY: Enjoy the sunshine on Friday because rain chances are on the way for late Saturday into early Sunday morning. Not looking to be a complete washout for the weekend before Christmas. The 50 degree temperatures will stick around as well. Expect a sunny & mild start to the new week before another round of rain on Christmas Eve. Christmas Day continues to look cold and dry.

FRIDAY: After a cold & clear start to our day with temperatures in the 20s, a beautiful Friday is ahead for us. Expect a lot of sunshine. Temperatures will start warming up a bit to the lower 50s today for highs thanks to a SE wind at 5-10 mph.
