The Plains will be smooth sailing under high pressure and bright sunshine after Santa`s visit this weekend. WeatherBug Meteorologist Kristin Clark has the latest in her exclusive WeatherBug National Outlook. Christmas Day Kids wishing for a bit of Christmas snow will have their dreams come true in the Mid-Mississippi Valley, Ohio Valley, and southern Appalachians. A few inches of snow will be possible by Christmas morning in some locations. Along the southern fringes of the storm, rain and a few thunderstorms will jolt the Gulf Coast. A few snow showers will also kick up in the Tennessee Valley and Mid-Atlantic bringing a Christmas feel to the weekend. Another wave of moisture rotating inland from the Pacific will approach the West Coast. Rain will soak the Interstate 5 corridor while more fresh powder piles up in the already snow-ravaged Sierra. Christmas travelers won`t have any problems making rounds from the Southwest into the Upper Midwest. A strong Canadian high pressure will provide dry and cool weather. A cup of hot chocolate or coffee will be needed to keep the northern Plains into the Northeast warm as highs peak in the teens to 20s. Highs will top out in the 30s from the Mid-South into the Mid-Atlantic. Warmer 50s will spread across the Gulf Coast while southern Florida and South Texas bask in the 60s and 70s. In the West, 30s and 40s will be found in the mountains with 50s and 60s for the coast and valleys. Warmer 70s across the Southwest will allow kids getting a brand new bicycle for Christmas the opportunity to try it out. Sunday The holiday spirit will be filled with cold, blustery weather and a few snow showers to wrap up the weekend in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. An East Coast storm will bear watching for Sunday afternoon and evening. As of now, it looks like the storm will continue to push farther away from the coast, bringing light snow showers from Atlanta to New York City. Residents along southeastern New England, and especially Cape Cod, will still have to watch out for the potential of a decent nor`easter bringing accumulating snow and strong winds. This forecast will be more fine-tuned as we move through Christmas Eve. As if the West needs more stormy skies, rain and mountain snow is in the offering. This time around the heaviest precipitation will pound the Northwest for places like Seattle and Portland, Ore. The Plains will squeeze out another beautiful, sunny day just as Santa retires back to the North Pole after his long trip across the globe. Jack Frost will be nipping at the northern Plains into the Northeast where teens and 20s will rule the day. Further south, 30s will grip the Mid-Atlantic while cool 40s spread through the Southeast. Pleasant, but relatively cool, 50s and 60s will warm southern Florida. The Plains into the West will see 40s and 50s with 30s for the highest peaks of the Mountain West. Highs in the 60s and 70s will reach into the Southwest.
