AccuWeather 45-Day Forecast: What Are Your Odds for a White Christmas?

November 11,2014; 5:12PM,EST
 
 
Temperature and precipitation trends in AccuWeather's 45-Day Forecast can help give you a glimpse at your odds of a white Christmas.
AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski said that people should not use long-range forecasts as a strict guide but rather look at how the weather patterns evolve.

A typical weather pattern involves a storm crossing the United States every three to five days or so, and long-range forecasts can show the trends in precipitation and temperatures as a result.
"On average, a given weather pattern may last three to five days, but there are some exceptions where you can lock into longer patterns of sunshine or cloudy weather," Sosnowski said.

Drier and milder spells versus colder and snowy periods can be spotted in the AccuWeather 45-Day Forecast. Weather trends can be observed by watching how far above or below normal temperatures are expected to be and by following the chance of precipitation and precipitation amounts.
Each day in the AccuWeather 45-Day Forecast includes the forecast high and low temperatures, the patented AccuWeather RealFeel® temperature, sky conditions and chance of precipitation, wind speed and direction, rain, snow and ice amounts, thunderstorm probability, cloud cover and UV index.
Along with the forecast, historical information, such as normal temperatures, records and temperatures recorded one year ago, is provided.
If the pattern leading up to Christmas features below-normal temperatures and unsettled weather, it may give you an early preview as to whether you can expect a white Christmas.
"You can also use this as a tool to figure out when to plan holiday shopping trips or when the best travel days might be," Sosnowski said.
