There are a few light showers this morning to the northwest but those will move to the northeast. Most of us will stay dry and warm making a run for 60° with lows already in the 50s!
If you're going out for New Year's Eve, there will be a few light rain showers, but temperatures will stay near 50. There will be a few pockets of heavy rain through the morning and afternoon, but flooding doesn't look to be a concern with river levels still low and ice already breaking apart.
What snow is left will continue to gradually melt away as lows stay in the 40s through the week and highs in the low to mid 50s. Rain showers will linger into New Year's Day and then high pressure builds back in drying us out for Monday.
Tuesday looks like the warmest day where highs are looking likely to get to the mid 60s which is almost 30 degrees above normal.
