Christmas Week Outlook
Monday, December 23, 2024
Active weather will continue this holiday week and into the weekend with multiple fronts passing through the region. There will be a brief break between systems late Tuesday into Wednesday. Otherwise, expect a strong front to arrive just about every day. Snow levels will bottom out with the Christmas (Wednesday) night into Thursday system, then quickly rise again by Friday. Given the expected precipitation amounts, coupled with high snow levels, there is the potential for flooding on mainstem rivers by the end of the week and into the weekend.
