Christmas Day Temperature Outlook

Fair, dry, and mild. Plenty of sunshine. Generally light winds. Temperatures warmer than average.

Here's a Christmas Day outlook for the country. Right now looks like a high likelihood of above normal temperatures no matter where you are, either here in the Borderland or elsewhere. Doesn't look like any precipitation chances around this area, but if you are heading into east Texas into the NE U.S. or the NW U.S. there is a chance for some precipitation(snow chances look mainly over the mountain west).

Saturday is the day of the 2024 Winter Solstice. It's the point during the Earth's revolution around the sun, when the the Earth's norther Axis is pointing away from the sun. This means the suns direct rays hit the Earth's surface the furthest south of the equator. This gives the northern hemispheres some of it's shortest days/longest nights.

No snow for the Borderland...we won't be cold enough, and there won't be any precipitation of any kind. The day will be dry, and mostly sunny. Despite chilly morning temperatures, the lows and the afternoon high temperatures will be warmer than the Christmas Day average across the region.
