Christmas Day Weather Forecast Released For Connecticut

CONNECTICUT — If you don't love snow and freezing cold temps then this forecast is for you. There is no snow, no rain, no ice, and no freezing temps in the forecast through Christmas Day.

The National Weather Service has published its Christmas Day forecast and it's more early spring than midwinter. On Christmas Day, Connecticut is expected to see plenty of sunshine and temps in the low to mid 40s. There is a zero percent chance of precipitation.

A long term forecast released earlier this month by the Old Farmer's Almanac had raised hopes for Christmas romantics, predicting a chance of snow on the big day. Historical data gathered over years by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, however, shows the chances of Christmas Day snow were never good.

And before we get to Christmas Day, we'll see a slight warmup today and Saturday from the freezing cold temps we've been experiencing the past few days. Temps should hover around the freezing mark in Connecticut today and Saturday before we rise into the 40s on Sunday.

Connecticut could hit 50 degrees on Monday and mid 40s on Tuesday. Enjoy the brief warmup as we know January is right around the corner.
