Foggy, cloudy Christmas Day with rain later this week
A foggy Christmas Day could lead to slick spots on the roads.
Lisa has been fascinated by the weather all her life. She grew up watching Midwest thunderstorms in her hometown in northwest Indiana. She obtained her Bachelor of Science degree in Meteorology with a minor in mathematics from Valparaiso University. She also obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications, and has the American Meteorological Society Certified Broadcast Meteorologist designation, as well as a NWA Seal of Approval from the National Weather Association.
While at Valparaiso, she was the founding Chief Meteorologist for their college TV station VUTV, President of the Northwest Indiana American Meteorological Society/National Weather Association, and active member of the Valparaiso University Storm Intercept Team (VUSIT). Part of her involvement with the storm chase team included a 10-day convective field study in which she chased storms across the plains traveling 5,626 miles through seven states seeing her first tornado!
Before making it back to the Midwest, Lisa previously worked for CBS affiliates in Sacramento, West Texas and Central Illinois.

Fog will become more of a factor this evening, which could make for slick roads and hazardous travel conditions.
Highs will be just below freezing as the week begins, with freezing drizzle, freezing rain and snow possible across Minnesota and Wisconsin.
The National Weather Service has issued winter storm warnings for multiple cities throughout northwest, west central and central Minnesota and southeast North Dakota.
High temperatures will stay in the 30s through Monday — an improvement after last week's deep freeze.
Friday kicks off with more frigid conditions in Minnesota, but temperatures, clouds and wind pick up through the afternoon before our next storm.
A strong cold front is headed for Minnesota, bringing light snow in time for the Wednesday morning commute.
In the Twin Cities on Sunday, temperatures will get up into the 40s in the afternoon before gusty winds move into the area.
Despite this recent cold snap, the Twin Cities still ended up with the warmest fall on record this year.
Enjoy the "warmup" in the Twin Cities on Tuesday because it will be brief.
Highs try to warm a little more but only reach the lower 20s with wind chills closer to 10.
No big storms are expected in Minnesota for Thanksgiving week. But that's not necessarily the case across the U.S., where some spots could see snow.
The National Weather Service says the metro may see half an inch of accumulation overnight, with most snow falling between 3 a.m. to 6 a.m. Accompanied by a flash freeze, conditions could "cause significant impacts to the Monday morning commute."
A system spreading across Minnesota Wednesday will bring minimal accumulation to the Twin Cities, but higher snow totals out west.
Light snow and flurries will move across Minnesota from west to east overnight Wednesday, with a dusting expected in the Twin Cities and 1-4 inches possible in the northwest corner of the state.
