WEATHER THIS WEEK: December 1-7

Forecast by Zachary Jacomowitz

Hello, Rockland County! Can you believe it?

Friday marks the beginning of meteorological winter, which runs through February 28. This period is denoted for meteorologists because it makes it easier to study seasonal data and records rather than follow the typical astronomical seasons, which begin and end mid-month. Anyway, here is your forecast!

Friday. Morning clouds, followed by afternoon sun. High near 46° after a morning low near 35°. Chance of rain is 10%.

Saturday: Partly to mostly cloudy skies. High near 42° after a morning low near 28°. Chance of rain is 0%.

Sunday: Partly cloudy skies with a high near 44° after a morning low near 28°. Chance of rain is 0%.

Monday: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. High near 47° after a morning low near 28°. Chance of rain is 0%.

Tuesday: Cloudy with rain showers, especially during the afternoon. High near 48° after a morning low near 41°. Chance of rain is 60%.

Wednesday: Mostly cloudy with a small chance of rain. High near 42° after a morning low near 35°. Chance of rain is 30%.

Thursday: Partly cloudy with a high near 38° after a morning low near 30°. Chance of rain is 0%.

SUMMARY:

December looks to start off rather quiet and not terribly cold. A frontal system brings rain for the Tuesday-Wednesday timeframe, with colder air ushered in behind it. Have a great weekend!
