Wind and Humidity: A Muggy Mix
On top of the rain, you can expect moderate wind speeds ranging from 10-15 mph, typically from the south. This breeze can provide a refreshing feel, but combined with the high humidity levels—hovering around 80%—it’s going to keep that muggy atmosphere in play. It’s that kind of weather where you decide if you’re going to sweat or just embrace it!
Evening’s Gentle Dip
As the day winds down, temperatures will decrease, landing around a low of 54°F. This is still well above the seasonal norm, maintaining that odd warmth that we’re experiencing this December. It’s the kind of evening that makes staying in with hot cocoa rather appealing, don’t you think?
Taking Precautions
With all this swirling weather, the National Weather Service has put out a friendly reminder for drivers. If you’re heading out during the showers, be particularly cautious of wet road conditions—safety first! It’s better to take your time and arrive safely than to rush and face slippery surprises.
Why the Warmth?
So, what’s behind this unseasonably warm weather? It all starts with a high-pressure system positioned to the south of Chapin, which has been influencing our warmth and moisture levels. The result? A day that feels more like summer than the start of winter!
