Christmas Weather: What to Expect Across the U. S.

The Old Farmer’s Almanac has shared its weather predictions for the Christmas week, hinting at a mix of winter conditions nationwide. This forecast is especially important for those planning holiday trips, as it gives a heads-up on what to expect. In the Northeast, Upper Midwest, Lower Lakes, eastern Ohio Valley, and Alaska, snow is likely. This could mean a white Christmas for some, but also tricky travel conditions. Meanwhile, the northern Pacific Northwest and Alaska Panhandle might see stormy and rainy weather. The Intermountain West and High Plains could experience a mix of rain and snow showers. The Pacific Southwest is expected to stay dry for most of the week, but showers might pop up later as people head home from their holiday travels. On the brighter side, the Southeast, Florida, Texas-Oklahoma regions, Atlantic Corridor, and Hawaii are looking at sunny skies with little rain. This should make travel smoother for those heading to or from these areas. The Deep South will see a mix of sunny and rainy weather, while the Atlantic Corridor might start with rain and snow showers before clearing up. In the Appalachians, the north will likely see sunshine early on, with snow moving in closer to the holiday. The Desert Southwest is expected to start sunny but could see a few isolated showers later in the week. The Old Farmer’s Almanac is known for its long-standing tradition of providing weather forecasts and practical advice. It’s a go-to resource for many, especially during the holidays. The publication has also released its forecast for Thanksgiving, predicting a mix of sunny and rainy conditions across the U. S. , with possible snow in northern areas.
