TRENDS for the week of 2 to 8 December 2019
— Temperatures will average slightly above normal in parts of the west and north, trending to near normal central and east coast, and below normal inland south and southeast (by 1-2 deg).
— Rainfall will average near normal but most of that will occur around mid-week and again around Sunday. Most other days will be dry.
— Sunshine will average near normal as there will be a lot of broken cloud layers during dry weather.
FORECASTS
TODAY will be partly cloudy to overcast with some persistent fog or mist over some valleys especially in the south and southeast. There it will also remain rather cold with highs of 4 to 7 C while further north and west it could reach 10 or even 12 degrees in some places.
TONIGHT will be partly cloudy with some dense fog in valleys, frosts returning to some parts of the inland southeast, lows -2 to +2 C, but milder elsewhere (3-6 C).
TUESDAY will continue similar to today with perhaps a slight rise in temperatures where the colder air is trapped in the southeast, highs closer to 7 C there, and again near 10 or 11 C further west and north.
WEDNESDAY will become quite windy with intervals of rain, 5 to 15 mm expected, heavier in the north and west. Winds southwest 60 to 90 km/hr will remove any lingering cold air and spread the 10-13 C milder air to all areas.
Freezing cold weather in store for this week!
THURSDAY will continue windy with outbreaks of rain, temperatures steady near 10 C.
FRIDAY will become partly cloudy, breezy and a bit cooler with highs near 7 or 8 C in gusty west to northwest winds.
SATURDAY will bring increasing cloud and some showers of rain with moderate southwest winds, highs near 10 C.
SUNDAY will be windy with rain and temperatures steady 10 to 12 C.
MONDAY will become colder with strong west to northwest winds and passing showers, some wintry on higher terrain in the north. Highs near 6 or 7 C.
TUESDAY will then turn a bit milder again with rain and highs near 9 C.
The further outlook calls for this unsettled and at times windy pattern to continue.
