Messy Start to Holiday Weekend

In case you hadn't heard, there was a giant snowstorm in Colorado earlier this week. We've been enjoying the storm from a safe distance via this Flickr photo set. Gothamist mentions the storm because a warmer version of it is arriving here soon. There's no chance of snow, but the rain and fog are likely to interfere with holiday travel.

The rain is already in New Jersey and should reach the city by early this afternoon. The rain will continue, off and on, through tomorrow morning, and will be joined by areas of fog late tonight. The rain and fog will no doubt add to the current travel delays. Skies will clear during the day tomorrow.

High temperatures tomorrow and Sunday will be in the un-winterly lower- to mid-50s. Christmas Day will be slightly cooler and we may get a few rain showers Monday evening.

Unbelievable how this December is turning out. Up here in the Hudson Valley we haven't seen one single snow flake yet this winter - Usually we get at least a snowstorm or two before Christmas.
