But due to the timing I am. Last few days the GFS has been pretty consistent showing at least a marginal severe threat for New Year's Eve. I'm still pretty skeptical but when it gets as warm as it's going to get the next few days here in late December that usually comes at a cost. There's also hints at a pattern shift and cold weather coming in and when you go from record warmth to cold that also can hint at severe weather. Please, don't cancel any plans but just keep this tucked away in the back of your mind.
