Thunderstorms and Heavy Rains Across Portions of the Central and Eastern US; Heat Expands to Portions of the East

Widespread showers and thunderstorms, some severe, may produce heavy downpours and flash flooding across much of the eastern and central U.S. Dangerous heat will continue in the Pacific Northwest and expand across portions of the East. Deep tropical moisture and associated thunderstorms will bring heavy rainfall and localized flash flooding across portions of Florida into the central Gulf Coast. Read More >

While climatology generally says the local area can expect a white Christmas (an inch of snow on the ground or falling that day) about 60-80% of the time, Mother Nature may not always cooperate.

The recent snowfall has left a blanket of snow across much of the area, especially for those from I-94 southward to the I-90 corridor. Will is stick around for Christmas?

Another weather system could bring more snow to a wintry mix to parts of the area Monday. Details aren't clear on what will fall, and where, with this system yet - so stayed tuned. Otherwise, after a cold weekend temperatures will be on the rise as we move through the new week and into Christmas. Highs into the mid to upper 30s are currently expected for some locations - working to compact and melt the snow. However, those hours of melting will be short. If you have a few inches of snow now, chances are pretty good you can keep it into Christmas. Keep your fingers crossed "white" Christmas lovers.
