Temperature and precipitation trends in AccuWeather's 45-Day Forecast can help give you a glimpse at your odds of a white Christmas.
"AccuWeather's exclusive 45-Day Forecast allows people to effectively plan for the holidays, forecasting what the weather has in store for their area further out than they would otherwise have," said Dr. Joel N. Myers, founder, president and chairman of AccuWeather. "People can make decisions during one of the most significant travel times of the year through AccuWeather's detailed, localized information, checking back throughout the season as they count down to the holidays."

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," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist 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.
