Chicago Area Forecast
Chicago Area Forecast
Santa and his pal Rudolph can expect easy traveling conditions when they drop off presents in the Chicago area. Christmas Eve is expected to be cooler than the spring like weather on Wednesday but high temperatures will still remain above average in the mid 40s. Mostly sunny skies make Thursday the perfect day to check out all the holiday decorations downtown or to go skate around the ice rinks of Millennium Park. Unfortunately, Chicagoans won’t get a white Christmas on Friday but they will wake up to a pleasant and sunny Christmas day. High temperatures will be in the mid 40s again with a small chance of some light showers Christmas evening.
New York City Area Forecast
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.
Denver Area Forecast
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.
