The storms should clear up by early afternoon. We will likely see some sun by the end of the day. A second front crosses us on Wednesday, this one coming from the cold north. Expect much cooler days the rest of the week as we finally get a dry spell in December. This cold air is expected to stay in place through Christmas.
