Sunny Tuesday, Increasing Severe Weather Risk For New Year’s Eve
December 29, 2020
There is a growing risk of severe weather for New Year’s Eve, according to the local office of the National Weather Service.

In addition to the severe potential, concern for a few other potential hazards is increasing as well. The tightening pressure gradient in advance of the system will likely result in increased winds on Thursday into Thursday night, with strong and gusty southeast to south winds developing.
