Fair weather should greet most holiday travelers across the United States, and Christmas is likely to be a transition to unseasonably mild temperatures nationwide.
Here is a day-by-day look at what to expect.
Monday
The coldest air of the season will hug the Northeast’s coast for one more day while a quick-moving storm develops over the Midwest on Monday.
This weak storm system is expected to bring a mix of wintry precipitation from southern Minnesota to southern Lower Michigan and light to moderate snow across northern Wisconsin and into northern Michigan, forecasters from the Weather Prediction Center said.
Out West, a wave of precipitation will ease on Monday morning, giving travelers a dry afternoon before the next atmospheric river arrives across Northern California and western Oregon late Monday night.
Christmas Eve
A dusting of snow early Tuesday morning across the Northeast should give a seasonal feel to the holiday, including in New York City and Boston. Farther south into the Mid-Atlantic, in cities such as Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., the winter weather is more likely to fall as freezing rain, leaving a light glaze of ice across the region.
Temperatures in the Northeast should moderate, returning closer to normal. The rest of the country is expected to remain unseasonably warm. Daytime high temperatures across the Southern Plains could be 15 to 20 degrees above average, resulting in highs well into the 60s and 70s for much of Texas.
