Christmas 2024 Travel Briefing: Weather Impacts and White Christmas Predictions

This briefing summarizes key weather information for the Christmas 2024 holiday period, drawing from several weather forecasts and news articles.

Main Themes:

• Unsettled weather leading up to Christmas: Many regions will experience rain, snow, and potentially disruptive weather in the days preceding Christmas.
• Warmer temperatures for many on Christmas Day: A warming trend is expected across much of the US, bringing above-average temperatures and reducing the likelihood of snow in many areas.
• Limited White Christmas potential: While higher elevations in the West and areas near the Canadian border have the best chances, widespread snow cover on Christmas morning is unlikely across the contiguous US.
• Travel disruptions possible: Travelers should anticipate potential delays due to weather, especially in the days leading up to Christmas.
