Weather recap includes gradual warming

Weather recap of the week’s Weather. Our weather for the most part been very tranquil. 

The highs reached the 60 degree mark and lows in the upper 40s.   

I measured precipitation with 24 hours – 7 a.m. to 7 a.m. CST each morning.

Springhill received .05 inches of rain and Minden received .07 inches of rain. On December 11, Springhill had a heavy frost with a low of 28 degrees F.

On December 13, both cities woke up to dense fog which dissipated by 10:15 a.m.

Looking forward for the term of starting December 15:  After we get through Sunday morning and Monday morning with wind chills in the upper teens we can expect a gradual warming. Lows will be in the 40s and 50s. Highs by middle week could reach 60 degrees F.

The next significant rain should be on the 18th of December.
