[NWS Topeka @NWSTopeka]

[NWS Topeka @NWSTopeka]

[NWS Weather Prediction Center @NWSWPC]

A winter storm is expected to begin impacting the Central Plains by Saturday night, with heavy snow and significant icing potential spreading eastward to the Mid-Atlantic by early next week. See our latest Key Messages below. ❄️

[NWS Springfield @NWSSpringfield]

Much of the area currently has a 40-60% chance to see at least minor travel impacts this weekend into Monday due to a winter system moving through the region. These impacts may be from ice, snow, or both. More details on timing and amounts will be determined in the coming days.

[NWS Omaha @NWSOmaha]

The ingredients for a strong winter storm are set to come together Saturday into Sunday, where 4+ inches of snow are likely (50-70% chance). Be wary of travelling southeast, with the greatest travel disruptions expected to be in Kansas and Missouri!

[NWS Lincoln IL @NWSLincolnIL]

Increasing likelihood of an impactful winter storm event across central and southeast Illinois late this weekend. Continue to monitor the forecast for updates. #ILwx

[National Weather Service @NWS]

Mild temperatures will continue across the U.S. for the rest of 2024. However, as we turn the calendar to 2025, there is a strong signal for below normal temperatures for the first couple weeks of January across most of the country. The Southwest and Alaska hold on to better chances for above normal temperatures.

The winter solstice marks a special moment as the shortest day and longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. @NOAA's newest satellite, GOES-19, captured this celestial event from space while undergoing post-launch testing. #WinterSolstice 🌎🛰️ https://t.co/wmmOzbThfU

[NOAA Climate.gov @NOAAClimate]

Are you dreaming of a white Christmas this year?

While the map shows the historical probability that at least 1 inch of snow will be observed on December 25, the actual conditions in any year may vary widely. (So you're saying there's a chance?!)
