Slim Chances of a White Christmas Across the Lower 48
The chances of having a White Christmas this year are slim, as the temperature forecast for Michigan and the Great Lakes region shows an 80-90% chance of warmer-than-normal temperatures. The rest of the US, except for southern Florida, also expects warmer weather. Additionally, the precipitation forecast indicates drier-than-normal conditions, making it unlikely for a significant amount of snow to accumulate. Only the Upper Peninsula and parts of northeast Lower Michigan may have a trace of snow on Christmas morning, while the rest of the region is likely to have a brown and warm Christmas. This is attributed to the influence of El Niño.
