Synopsis:
Christmas Eve will feature mostly sunny skies as high pressure slides in from the Great Lakes. It will be brisk.
Christmas Day is looking dry at this time under a mostly cloudy sky. Temperatures will be close to the average high for the holiday. The average high is in the lower 40s.
Low pressure will move from the Midwest to off the Mid-Atlantic coast Friday and Friday night. The latest computer guidance suggests that high pressure over Southeastern Canada will supply enough cold air for the potential of accumulating snow Friday late afternoon and night. A mix is possible over central and Southern areas. Confidence continues to increase. A few to several inches of snow is possible. We’ll continue to monitor the latest guidance and have a clearer picture shortly.
Any precipitation on Saturday will taper off during the afternoon hours. Skies will remain cloudy.
A cold front will approach Sunday. The day will start off dry. A mix to rain is possible for Northern areas during the afternoon Sunday. Showers are expected elsewhere.
Stay tuned.
