Daily Weather Briefing for Wednesday, December 19, 2018





Outlook

Dry high pressure will continue over the region today. Another significant low-pressure system is developing to our west and will bring widespread precipitation to the region for Thursday and Friday that may end as snow early Saturday morning. As the low moves north of the forecast area on Saturday, a drying high pressure will return for the weekend and early next week.
