Weather Journal

with Kevin Myatt

A rainy start to '07

It's going to rain New Year's Eve. It's going to rain New Year's Day. And then by the end of next week, it's going to rain again ... all with temperatures in the 40s and 50s. The storm that caused the snowstorm in the Rockies will be dragging a lot of Gulf of Mexico moisture across us the next couple of days, and then a new storm will do much the same at the end of the week.

It looks a lot like an El Nino pattern should look like. The question is how much longer the mild weather can hang on, or if the cold weather will make a comeback. It will get cold this winter ... and when it does, the wet pattern could pose a big ice/snow risk. I think we're still at least 10 days off from ANY threat of that, and there's really nothing out there that looks promising/threatening (depending on your perspective on winter weather).
