Justin Liles: Mild weekend with a chance of light snow

We are looking at pleasant weather as we head into the holiday weekend. This year we will start the New Year with temperatures much warmer than last year. There is a small chance of seeing some light snow Christmas Eve but there won’t be enough to bring any troubles on the roads. All we need is a half inch of snow before tomorrow night and we will become the snowiest December on record.

Temperatures will be milder over the weekend too. All eyes are still on the beginning of next week with the chance of snow/rain. The type of precipitation and track of the storm is still all over the place. There is a lot of uncertainty as to what we’ll actually get. Currently it’s starting to look like the storm may take a track more to the south. We will continue to monitor through the weekend.
