Colder Tuesday, then snow or mix for New Year's......

Temperatures will turn colder and become very windy tomorrow and Wednesday.

The cold eases somewhat, then a substantial snow is getting likely for New Year's Eve. and New Year's Day. Rain may mix in, mostly in areas near the coast.

Right now, it does not look like a blizzard, but we still have a couple of days before anything can be sure about this storm. The models are still not settling down on a clear forecast. The Euro shows a storm moving past us quickly, then slowing down North of us.

In the old days, a weather forecaster would simply say a good chance for snow near the end of this week. That would be based on the current weather charts and past experience. This is a snow pattern that we have here.

Based on the long range models, the first half of January should be quite cold with the risk of more snow.
