It seems only fitting that 2023 ends on a wet note since it’s been an extraordinarily wet year across the region.
Low pressure pulls away from the region this evening, with rain tapering off to showers. However, with an upper-level low slowly moving in, we’ll have plenty of clouds with occasional showers for much of Friday and at least the first half of Saturday. Neither day will be a washout, but they won’t exactly be nice days either. Temperatures will remain above normal for these days. By late Saturday, we’ll start to clear out as high pressure builds in, with drier but also cooler weather returning. For First Night celebrations, it should be dry with temperatures near or a little above normal, unlike some of the rather chilly New Year’s Eves we’ve had in the past. A weak disturbance will move through on New Year’s Day with some clouds and possibly a stray rain or snow shower, but for the most part, it will remain dry.
Thursday night: Cloudy with rain tapering off to showers. Low 37-44.
Friday: Plenty of clouds with occasional showers. High 41-48.
Friday night: Cloudy with a few showers. Low 35-42.
Saturday: Showers around during the morning, some clearing late in the day. High 42-49.

Near Year’s Eve: Sunshine and some late-day clouds, cooler. High 35-42.
Sunday night: Partly cloudy. Low 25-32.
New Year’s Day: Partly sunny, slight chance for a rain or snow shower. High 36-43.
