Northern U.S. states and higher elevations have the best chances of a white Christmas, while southern and western areas are far less likely to see snow this year.

Now, the National Weather Service (NWS) Climate Prediction Center expects a high chance of above-average temperatures for much of the U.S. over Christmas, with the highest possibilities expected in the Plains states, the South, and into the Midwest. Most of these states also are expecting below-average precipitation during the same time frame.

While snow starts late Christmas Eve, the worst conditions should arrive on Wednesday night and continue through Christmas Day, with heavy snow and dangerous travel, especially above 6,500 feet.

Right now, it appears as though this will be a daytime event on Tuesday. Snow is favored in central and northern New England, while a wintry mix is likely as you head farther south. Considering our snow cover will be washed away after Friday's rain, Tuesday's storm will be our last chance to whiten the ground before Christmas.

This year is expected to be the busiest on record for holiday travel, but rough weather can make getting to your Christmas destination even harder.
