All in all 2024 is coming to a mild end weather-wise with cloudy skies and breezy conditions expected as the note drops.
The first day of the new year will be chilly behind Tuesday's cold front with temperature only topping out in the 40s with stubborn clouds around for most of the day.
All eyes are on the first couple weeks of the new year because they continue to look very cold with the potential for some wintry weather to try and make an appearance.
The Climate Prediction Center continues to highlight a prolonged cold spell for the Eastern half of the country (areas shaded in dark blue). The dark blue represents the likelihood of temperatures running below normal, well below normal. The typical top temperature this time of year is 49 in January, we'll likely be running 15-20 degrees below that by the end of next week.
