Christmas week winter storm will bring snow, high winds and heavy rainExpect a wet, windy and, yes, even white Christmas week, as a powerful storm system makes its way across the country through Friday.

 

Heavy snow and high winds are expected to cause blizzard conditions in the Plains and the upper Midwest, including Minneapolis, on Wednesday. Heavy rain is expected across the Midwest, while severe thunderstorms are likely across the Gulf Coast, including in New Orleans.

 

On Christmas Eve, snow and wind are expected across the Great Lakes and the Ohio Valley, while soaking rain and high winds will spread over the East Coast. Severe thunderstorms for parts of southern Virginia and the eastern Carolinas could be capable of destructive winds and isolated tornadoes.

 

On Christmas, windswept rain and a flood risk will persist for parts of the Northeast and New England, especially during the morning hours.

 

More than 100 million people are under some sort of winter storm warning or watch.

 

Heavy rain of 1-3 inches over deep snowpack could spark flood concerns across the Northeast and New England.

 

Snowfall totals will be 3-6 inches from the Upper Midwest to the Ohio Valley with isolated totals up to 12 inches near downwind of the Great Lakes and in the Appalachian Mountains.

 

Wind gusts of 50-65 mph on the East Coast on Thursday and Friday could cause downed trees and significant power outages.
