White Christmas Watch: Will there be snow on December 25?

Potent system tracks across the country late week with significant impact around Christmas for central parts of the country.

“In Austria’s lower elevations, the chances of a white Christmas have been halved”, said climatologist Alexander Orlik.

“It is still possible to have a white Christmas with snow and sleds, but simply occurring more rarely”.

The last full day of fall will deliver a warm afternoon.

Accuweather reports that the forecast in the USA across the lower 48 states isn’t great if you are hoping to see snow fall on December 25.

O’Hare Airport has received almost 18 inches of snow in December, and more than 15 inches has fallen at Midway.

From there, the Rockies storm develops into a monster and heads toward the western Great Lakes. A cold front that will bring more snow to the mountains will move across the Front Range, ushering in colder air and higher winds on Wednesday, the first day of winter.

The storm is now traveling over the Pacific Ocean and is expected to move over northern California by Friday morning, bringing heavy rain, while the Sierra Nevada could see an abundance of snow, The Weather Channel noted.

When it began snowing last week, Christine Hannington of Presque Isle said her three children “couldn’t have been happier”. We soared to a high of 71 degrees both Christmas Eve Day and Christmas Day, and temperatures even stayed above 60 degrees for Santa on Christmas Eve. In addition, it looks like the third warm Christmas in a row.

Only the northern Rockies and northern Plains will see additional snow Christmas Day.

By Friday, spotty showers may affect part of the Florida Peninsula.

“What little is on the ground will melt by the time Christmas rolls around”, Tucek said.
