Ring In The New Year With Possible Snowfall In Yakima
We may not have had the White Christmas many were wishing for this year outside of a slight dusting Christmas afternoon, but what about a White New Years Day? Well, that may happen.
Looking ahead into the weather forecast and patterns, it seems that we may get some snow on New Years Eve (how much is unsure) but they're saying Wednesday is going to be a snow day.
Again, exactly how much snow and how long it'll stick around is always a crapshoot this time of year.
But they're expecting a bit of rain and snow on New Years Eve, perhaps more snow on New Years Day, especially closer to the afternoon to evening region.
There may even be some residual snow on Thursday on through to Friday, again, with some snow mixed with rain depending on the temperature.
And then, that's about it as far as snow goes.
Then we're back to seasonally cloudy skies with chilly temperatures. Not drastically cold or anything. Just enough to frost the windshields in the morning. Just enough to make the grass crunchy in the morning.
So if you're still having family around or coming or going around New Years, keep in mind the snow we may get in the middle of this week. But looking ahead, the snow we get, if enough, shouldn't stick around too long afterwards.
