Sharply colder temperatures for the weekend …small chance of snow on Christmas Eve Night

A season in a day. For the first full day of winter (on Friday) will see a dramatic change in temperatures as a cold front pushes through the Quad State region. Above normal temperatures in the 50s and 60s during the day will be replaced with 30s overnight. The colder temperatures associated with the cold front will represent the leading edge of much colder air that is expected to settle across the region for the upcoming holiday weekend. Highs are expected to rise only in the 40s Saturday and Sunday, with most locations holding in the 30s for Christmas Day. (NWS Paducah)
