We could see some breezy conditions at times but nothing too dramatic is expected. If you are traveling to the PNW, there is currently a system impacting them and bringing mized precipitation. This is the only place throughout the United States that we could see impacts. Now, what everyone wants to know, will we see a white Christmas? The chances are on the up, but the forecast could still change. We will have an incoming storm system moving in Wednesday morning. These snow chances likely won't pick up until the evening hours on Wednesday. Snow showers will start in the higher terrain and eventually work their way onto I-25. Some places will still be above freezing and temperatures will still be warm, so they may see rain first. As we go into the overnight hours into Thursday morning, snow will continue and then make its way out of the area by Thursday morning.____Curious about the First Alert 5 Weather Storm Impact Scale?
