A potent cold front will pass through ACA Thursday afternoon, with sharply colder air moving in behind it. There will be minimal snow behind this system, Thursday night into Friday morning, so that's not my concern (models suggest 0 to 1" in ACA). The winds, however, will be some of the strongest we've seen in a while, with gusts at high elevations up to 60+ mph....we could see gusts in the 40-45 range, maybe higher for those few of you exposed at the top of ACA. Items not nailed down outside may want to migrate, especially if you have larger holiday decorations outside. Power outages are expected, so this is a good time to make sure you have flashlights and candles ready to go.
Friday is looking flat out uncomfortable if you have to be outdoors...winds will be steady in the 20-34 mph range, and shaded areas more than likely won't reach 32 degrees. Temps will modify some over the weekend, but our unusual warmth of late will take a hike for a while.
FYI, Looks like rain chances ramp up Christmas Eve and hang around a couple of days with highs in the 40s and lows in the 30s.
