1/2/2025 - KMCN

Forecast for January 2, 2025:

The high over the southeast is expected to linger & maintain clear conditions over GA. Artic air encroaching from the north can be expected to drop temperatures throughout the rest of the week. 

A low of 33 F and a high of 55 F is expected. A slight wind can be expected throughout the day, picking up in the afternoon hours before dropping back down to slight breezes.

Forecast data pulled from the GFS, ECMWF, NAM, and MOS (KMCN).

FORECAST CHECK-IN:

My Forecast: Low: 33, High: 55, No Precipitation

Actual Weather Conditions: Low: 27, High: 56, No precipitation. 

Forecast today was a little shaky on the low, however the high is within acceptable range of error margin. 

The closest model to the low was the GFS MOS KMCN, with a predicted low of 30, however even that is outside my acceptable margin of error. 

A strong note about the low going under freezing when not predicted. Freezing temperatures have a strong impact on the population, and need to be conveyed when they occur. When temperatures start approaching freezing in the future, I will widen the net to accommodate for a chance of freeze just in case it does dip below the 32 F marker.
