Weather Alert

Later next week, temperatures are again forecast to spike to well-above-average levels. The main reason for the above-average temperatures is that the jet stream has retreated and will generally remain well to the north over the Central and Eastern states through at least the third week of December. This does not look good for those hoping for a white Christmas.
