HVFORECAST

Putting us all in the holiday season. That is a great event. Check it out if you can. You know, I learned something about your real Christmas trees this weekend too and I went out so they're all so different because one is stronger, like they have stronger branches, they're meant to hold your hardier ornaments. The other ones are more fragrant. So you have to really think about what do you want. There are a lot of variables just like the weather, just like the weather. There are a lot of invariable is when you go out and pick your Christmas trees, everybody. So, yeah, think long and hard about just not too, too long because you, your time is running out really as we go throughout the next couple of days, I want to just draw your attention to our most significant weather event that we're watching. And this could be for Sunday evening and Sunday night, this latest snapshot and don't take a verbatim just yet. This, the timing on this will change over the next few days. But around nine o'clock, Sunday, even some moderate to heavy rain, potentially temperatures well into the fifties and there can be some gusty winds with this. So I would start getting in the mindset of planning ahead for a wet second half of Sunday into Sunday night outside. Today. It's chilly and there are some passing snow flurries around, nothing too significant at all. But you can notice a few of those festive flakes as we go throughout the afternoon today and through about four or five o'clock. Otherwise just stress warmly daytime highs today, barely touching 40 degrees, mostly cloudy skies. Other than a few of those scattered flurries ahead of a colder night tonight with lows in the twenties into Thursday morning. So you might need the extra layer tomorrow morning. Tomorrow is a carbon copy of today. A few flurries near 40 warming up Friday and into the weekend. Saturday still the pick of the week before we get to that late rain and gusty conditions. Sunday evening and Sunday night before dry weather pushes in for next week.
