Any hopes of a white Christmas that the weekend chill brought will be dashed in the eastern United States, with this Christmas Eve shaping up to be the warmest on record in many communities.
According to AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Tom Kines, "On Christmas Eve, parts of the mid-Atlantic and New England could be just as warm as they were on the Fourth of July."
Record high temperatures, including some record warm minimum temperatures, are likely to be set from Florida to Maine.
Records in the major cities of the Eastern states date back to the middle 1800s.
Another northward bulge in the jet stream will be responsible for the warmth in the East this week.
The jet stream is a strong river of air high in the atmosphere that guides weather systems and separates warm air to the south from cold air to the north.
Christmas Eve will feel more like Easter with highs ranging from the 50s in Maine to the 70s in the mid-Atlantic and the lower 80s in parts of the Southeast. That equates to highs that are 15 to 35 degrees Fahrenheit above normal.
"Temperatures could touch 80 as far north as the mid-Atlantic states," Pastelok said.
Widespread record highs will not only be challenged but also shattered in many towns and cities. The potential exists for records to be topped by more than 10 degrees from Atlanta to Washington, D.C., to Philadelphia to New York City and to Burlington, Vermont.
"It appears high temperatures will be in the 70s on Christmas Eve in New York City, which is about 35 degrees above normal for the date," AccuWeather Meteorologist Bill Deger said. "It was also unusually warm last Christmas Eve in 2014, when Central Park reached 58 F for a high."

Subtropical air will be drawn northward along with the warmth and will make it feel humid to some people.
Along with erasing any hopes for a white Christmas, the warmth will mean residents can leave the heavy winter jackets, hats or mittens at home when heading out for last-minute shopping or to Christmas Eve services.
The only chance of a white Christmas will be in the Tug Hill region of New York state, east of Lake Ontario, and northern Maine, where old snow may remain on the ground.
The warmth will come despite some clouds and a couple of showers in the area. Those wanting to take advantage of the warmth by caroling, taking a walk, firing up the grill or engaging in any other outdoor activity should plan to keep an umbrella handy.
The passage of a cold front will ease the extreme warmth in the Northeast for Christmas Day, but temperatures will still be well above normal for the holiday. In the Southeast, Friday will likely be a repeat of Thursday.
Since temperatures will be so high during the overnight hours on Thursday, record highs for Christmas day may be set before dawn in a number of locations.
According to AccuWeather Meteorologist Ed Vallee, the return of persistent cold will not be the theme for the remainder of 2015.
"The extreme warmth of late will certainly be muted after Christmas Day, but above-average temperatures continuing through the end of the month will set the stage for December monthly temperature records to be broken in some areas of the East," he said.

To
all the climate change alarmists,you've been caught redhanded when it
was exposed,about 5-10 years ago,through emails,that many "scientific"
organizations that you all rely on for your climate change "proof", like
NOAA, were fudging the temperature data to support the supposed
"settled science" (Remember Climate-gate anyone?). Also,you were exposed
when the AlGore carbon credits were exposed for the fraud that they are
as well as all the crony capitalist green energy companies like
Solyndra were "on the dole" and getting kick-backs from the government.
All this climate change nonsense isn't about "saving the planet", but
lining the pockets and greasing the wheels for these crony capitalist
green energy (solar-panel, wind-turbine, wind-farm), companies. Funny
how you never hear the climate alarmists talk about that,but how evil
all other companies and industries like the oil industry are yet their
crony capitalist buddies are exempt from said criticism.

spring" "At least ya got your health" LOL
Ted Cooke ·
The
daily record will still not be as high as monthly highs, and even if
they meet them 1) we're talking about temperature records from all
different kinds of dates, even into the 1800's when there was still a
"mini" ice age, and 2) The Roman and Viking era temperature spikes
notwithstanding (three or four degress on average warmer than today) we
are still warming up from a big ice age, so we would expect warmer
temperatures. The reall shocker is no warming at all in the past two
decades according to the ~only~ temperature reading method which is
double checked - sattelite data (double checked by weather baloons).

While
the East Coast is warm, on the West Coast -- actually everyplace west
of the Rockies -- we have excellent snows, first time in three years of
winter drought, and blistering cold temps in the forecast starting
tomorrow and lasting out for weeks, with the colder months of Jan-Feb
lying ahead. In the same last three years, the East Coast got those
blistering cold temps, and piles of snow. So, a reversal of fortunes.
Our drought is now seriously reduced, and the East gets a relief from
the cold waves... everyone should be happy! But of course, the warmer
Nazis will preach more gloom and doom, and proclaim weather to be
climate when it suits them, and vice versa.

Then, I'll be happier...at least, compared to how I'm feeling now.
The best way to make everyone happy (except for warm weather lovers who want warm weather all year round) is for the Jet Stream to dip down South and become more zonal, stretching from Southern California East to Florida. North of the Jet Stream should be typical cold and snowy weather. South of the Jet Stream should be warm for the warm weather lovers.

use data compiled from different forms of archeology that show the
earth has experienced many warming and cooling periods, which means when
tempratures are not maintaining , they are either lowering or raising.

highs in the low 30s;/upper 20s, lows in the single digits, and snow
(maybe) on Christmas Day. In other words, not much new and different.
Of course, that means absolutley nothing in the greater scheme of things, just like the warm weather in the Northeast means nothing!

“CO2

refrain among the scientists who researched or observed the event.
“This event is a milestone on a road to unprecedented climate change for the human race, Dr. Ed Hawkins, a climatologist at the University of Reading, told the Guardian. “The last time the Earth had this much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere was more than a million years ago, when modern humans hadn’t even evolved yet.” The environmentalist Bill McKibben echoed the sentiment, too: "We're in new territory for human beings—it's been millions of years since there's been this much carbon in the atmosphere.”

global temperatures — that's incontrovertible. Yup, there's a lot of
regional and temporal varaibility — equally incontrovertible. And yup,
there's one hell of a lot of FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) being
sown by those who stand to lose in a move from 'hunter-gatherer'
extractive energy to a more managed, sustain able energy system. Yup,
we've got a lot of work to do — and those who refuse to do it had better
grow a pair before this clear, physics-based increase in troposdpheric,

from now, let alone 75. I also doubt (forgive my heresy) that if
warming is happening that man's activities are the controling factor. I
also question whether the predeicted effects are catastrophic as
predicted. Global cooling would be a much more serious concen as it
would portend shorter growing seasons, less land in climates suitable
for farming, and greater energy requirements. This crisis has become an
excuse for greater government control worldwide over people's lives
with big money in the form of subsidies for "green" energy which is a
marginal solution with existing technology.

Boston - Last year record snow. This year lots of rain and record highs.
Thinking you're the generation to witness climate shift from post glacial or interglacial to "warm" is akin to believing you will witness the 2nd coming. What are the odds? Even with man's considerable efforts we have only increased C02 by 1 in 10,000 in the atmosphere on whole.
Hard to believe the roar associated with a 1 in 10,000 increase in something that not only occurs naturally but is essential to all life on land.
Hang in there folks, the only thing that you can count on is change.
PS I'm by far more worried about serious on going air and water pollution.

Jeffrey L. Bass ·
I'm
not convinced that methane will not play a role in the next few decades
on climatic changes, and seems like the most northern latitudes are
experiencing weather anomolies that are way out of the norm. As for the
air pollution, seems like China and India are going to have a
competition to get the worst air quality - in some cases probably
cutting 10-15 years off the average lifespan. That seems a more
immediate and challenging issue than climate change, in that we see the
effects already playing out in those countries (increased COPD, cancer,
etc).
John Smith
EXCELLENT

saved in snow removal costs. Millions less gallons of fossil fuels used
to heat homes and run plow trucks and warming cars. Millions of pounds
less salt contaminating the environment. Hundreds fewer homes burned to
the ground in attempts to heat them with unsafe appliances. Fewer people
freezing to death. Tens of thousands fewer car accidents that
necessitate resources to fix. Tens of thousands fewer heart attacks
shoveling snow. Tens of thousands fewer people dying and being injured
in ice and snow related falls.

Many

up my winter clothes and put them in the attic for summer and vice

bring them out in the middle of Oct. but over the years, they come out
later and later. I find in general that I need fewer and fewer cold
weather clothes as the years pass. I'm in central NC. I've decided a few
sweaters to layer with is about all I need these days and a light
weight coat. I live in a state that's always been on the border between
the warm South and the cold North. We are definitely (with a few
exceptions) like the warm South these days.

I've

climate change caused by global warming is about extremes. The scales
seem to be permanently out of balance and weather patterns are over the

since the late 80's didn't bother me. You folks who can rationalize it
are having a good time, for now. Unfortunately for me, I know something
is very wrong and I fear for all our children and grandchildren.
Paul Drapiewski ·
You
are right about "late 80s". It was cold in the 60s and 70s and very
cold between 1981 and 1986. I swear it was November of 1986 that it
changed. We had a very warm winter, and while we have had some very
cold spells since, (VERY cold in fact), in general, it has been really
warm since that very date. Really seems like a gear shifted then.
James Moro
I'm
now thinking that this winter here in the northeast is going to be one
of the mildest, and least snowiest ever, if there's a winter this year, i
thinking it will hit 70 degrees by early March, and we'll be in spring
by mid March, unlike last year which didn't arrive until the middle of
April. I'm thinking next summer will be a very hot summer with many days
above 90 even a couple of days hitting at least 100.
Cory Morrison ·
I
disagree that winter is cancelled this year. However, I do agree that
next summer could be hot in the East (Hottest since 2012 in many areas)

I agree to a point how relocating to a different place if one doesn't

before telling me to move North when I complain about warm weather), I
disagree that "our hearts are in Fort Lauderdale". Warm weather fans
may have their hearts in Fort Lauderdale and other warm places in the

This
El Niño event is definitely unprecedented with the sheer depth and
magnitude of the warmth. In terms of the Eastern Pacific waters, they
are saying that an El Niño of this size and intensity has never been
measured before. I would not be surprised if this ends up being a year
without winter and, in the end, if they say this is something of a once
in 500 or 1000 year event. I miss the winter weather here in Southeast
Pennsylvania. Sure, it's unpleasant and disruptive at times but that's
what makes the seasons different. If you live in the Northeast and
don't like winter, move to Florida.
Jeffrey L. Bass ·
or
at least South Carolina - haha. I don't mind a winter break, last
February at Rehoboth had temps comparable to the upper Midwest - yuck.
Cory Morrison ·
Just do not complain when the heat comes in the summer, because that is what makes summer different too.
Also, do you realize how mind-blowing last February was in terms of the magnitude and persistency of the cold, like Wayne Langhuber said earlier, over FIFTEEN degrees below normal in some cases (Even many people who do winter sports thought it was too severely cold)? And that some people simply do not have much of a choice to live where they are for family or financial reasons? I can accept my area's climate norms, which have highs around 30F, with maybe some 20s and 40s mixed in during the winter (Cold enough for skiing in most cases), but the persistent below 0F rubbish from recent winters is what is good-for-nothing.

This December is 10 degrees above normal, but last Feb was 16 degrees
BELOW normal. So the current warmth is a much smaller anomaly in
comparison, and is a way of nature getting even. plus the high arctic
is colder compared to previous years so that will help the polar bears.
and the west is finally getting much needed precipitation. so win win
win across the board.

answer David's question about why people are preferring this warmth to

Over
population? Hard to get around in the snow. It's not hard to get around
in the snow and ice if you are properly prepared. Granted, when it gets
icy in Dallas that's an issue, but the entire northern part of the
country manages to do OK all winter long despite the snow.
Jeffrey L. Bass ·
I
would agree with Joseph, the majority of the world population lives in
warmer areas of the world. Canada, with a massive land area, only has
about 10% of the population of the United States. Even the majority of
the population of the US tends to live in the more temperate areas.
Living in cold areas just requires far more resources and effort than
warmer climes.
William Smith ·
I
am highly skeptical of this,though,because so many times when they
forecast these temperatures to be so high,they tend to end up short of
the mark. I can't tell you how many times they'd forecast it to be 70
degrees especially this time of year and it ends up being 65 degrees,or
when they forecast 100+ in the summer and it's only 92 or 93 degrees
(which is pretty hot in and of itself,mind you).It's the same,sometimes
with rainfall and snowfall predictions (most notably when we were
supposed to get 3 feet of snow but only got 8 or 9 inches last January
27),as well.Not that it's not going to be super-warm if it's 65 degrees
that day as opposed to 70 and I'm not saying it's not going to
happen,but I'll just remain skeptical. I'll believe it when I see that
thermometer hit 70 on Thursday (Christmas Eve).
William Smith ·
Though
unusual,70's in December has happened here before. In 2006 or
2007,there was one day in December,early December mind you,but December
nonetheless,where it was about 70 degrees and this was at like 1 or 2AM
and I was sweating my ass off. I had to take my fan that I had stored up
in the closet back in October down and my sheets were drenched in
sweat. Then, in January of 2007,it was about 70 degrees one day as
well,and that's in the middle of January that one year. I'm sure lots of
people around here in the NYC area will be out in shorts on Thursday

50-something inches of snow out of their driveways every winter,as well.

This
warm pattern was fun in early November, but I've seen more than enough
of it and I don't want to see any more of it until the about the 3rd
week of March. Until then, any warm up needs to be 2 days or less. A
cold spell like the 2nd half of January 2000 and first week of February
2000 would do me great. Andrew Crossett, it sure does feel like a
preview of Hell which is also where this weather pattern needs to go
straight to.

Hodgson Last Christmas Eve it was 55 degrees here (in upstate New
York). This year it's supposed to be 66. At that rate by Christmas 2016,
we will have to run the air conditioner.

William Smith exactly right! Heating bills are lower and driving much easier thanks to this years el nino

Andrew Crossett winter of 2014, year of no summer in 2014, and Feb 2015 were Hell for me!

Andrew
Crossett When it warms up this week, my air conditioner is going back
on. I've had a brief break this weekend and, so far, today, without
needing it.

Some
are still here! I am HATING these record-high temperatures. Christmas
time is supposed to be COLD and it's even better with a little snow. I
get very cranky when it's abnormally warm lol

What
people like or hope for doesn't have any effect on the weather. People
who love a mild winter aren't the cause of such a thing happening.

prevent the real warm air from arriving in DC on Thursday Dec 2 2015

December
2nd has already passed, and it was on a Wednesday this year. Even next
year, due to the leap year, December 2nd will be on a Friday.
