Next weekend, a significant blizzard will move across the heart of the country on its way to the east coast, giving several states the chance to have a white Christmas. The low-pressure system is anticipated to form by Thursday and bring with it very cold weather as it moves across the nation.
As a result, during Christmas weekend, snowfall may occur in states in the northeast and southeast, the midwest, and the southern and northern plains. Up until Christmas Eve this Saturday, much of the country is expected to see “widespread gusty winds,” “bitter cold,” “heavy rain and heavy snow,” and “widespread gusty winds,” according to the National Weather Service (NWS).
The NWS Weather Prediction Center tweeted, “Be sure to pay close attention to the forecast this week as details become certain.
According to AccuWeather, the storm’s first phase could start on Wednesday in the inner west, with Denver perhaps receiving several inches of snowfall.
All the way from Nashville, Tennessee, to as far south as Dallas, Texas, and even farther north into Chicago, Illinois, meteorologists are predicting at least some snow.

After consuming frigid air in the central United States and warmer air in the southeast, the storm may get more “strong,” according to AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Jon Porter.
According to Porter in an article on Sunday for AccuWeather, “major East Coast storms over the decades have happened in this type of configuration, bringing the chance for heavy snow and rain, strong winds, coastal flooding, severe thunderstorms, and even tornadoes on the southern side of the storm.”
Forecasts for a light wintry mixture of rain and snow in the northeastern part of the United States, especially close to the nation’s capital of Washington, D.C., could change as the storm intensifies.
