We could see a burst of weather late tonight but apparently even the storms are social distancing in 2020. Forecasters are predicting we could see the arrival of at least three atmospheric rivers that could bring moisture in the first week of the new year.

Expect partly sunny conditions today with a chance of snow before midnight then rain mixed with snow. It will be a blustery night with south winds of up to 25 mph after midnight. Today’s high temperature should hit 49 degrees.
