New York City Area Forecast

Mild temperatures along with some sunshine will greet Tri-State area residents on Christmas Day ensuring that the grounds from Central Park all the way to the peaks of the Catskills remain void of any natural snow cover. Temperatures will climb into the 60s for many places with only a light breeze that will help make Christmas feel more like the middle of spring. The continued above average temperatures through the holidays are helping to set the stage for what could be a record breaking warm December.

Mainly cloudy and chilly temperatures are in store for Denver on Christmas; however, snowflakes will not be too far away. A disturbance crossing Colorado will bring a fresh covering of snow to the ski resorts west of the city, particularly from Christmas eve night through Christmas morning. Several inches of new snow can be expected from Thursday night through Christmas morning for the Ski resorts with localized amounts in excess of 6 inches likely along the west and southwest facing slopes. In Denver itself, some flurries cannot be ruled out, but impacts to travel are not anticipated. The forecast for natural snow in the mountains should give some holiday cheer to skiers looking to do some Christmas Day skiing, though the drive getting to the ski resorts could prove treacherous in some areas.

Another storm will threaten the area over the weekend with more mountain snow chances as well as the chance for snow in Denver by Saturday night and Sunday.

Weather won’t cause any problems for any of the metro areas in California Christmas Day, but some light snow may fall across portions of the Sierra-Nevadas on Christmas morning around the Lake Tahoe area, one of the few places in the country that may be able to wake up Christmas morning to some fresh snow. But, the afternoon and evening hours are looking dry all across the Golden State. While temperatures will be close to seasonable levels in the Bay Area, the central valleys and southern California, you’ll need the heavy coats up in the mountains, where temperatures will be more than 20 degrees below average in the Sierras, with highs only in the 20s. The mercury may drop below zero in a few places Christmas night.

It looks to be a seasonable Christmas Day for the major metro areas of Portland, Oregon, as well as Tacoma and Seattle, Washington, with highs in the low to mid 40s.

Otherwise, it’s shaping up to be a dry Christmas Day across the Pacific Northwest.
