For the northern half of the state it's going to be more of a New Year's day front event. Some really wild temperature swings in the 70s and then by evening freezing and below. It'll be nice to watch dense cold air try to beat the forecast/models again.
I don’t think I can ever remember a front that came in “on time” or late. Aren’t they usually always early to way early compared to models or forecasts?
It can happen with late spring or early fall fronts where warm air can win out, at least temporarily. This time of year, with the cold that's in place already in Canada (It would be a different story if we weren't tapping into a source region 20 to 30 degrees celsius below their normal) it's very likely the front will be faster.
