Christmas is only a day away, and there may yet be some areas of the United States where one can expect a white Christmas on Monday.
This year’s Christmas is going to be lacking snow in a majority of the United States, likely due to the weather phenomenon El Nino. However, while many places are not expected to get snow this year, some areas of the U.S. have issued weather warnings over potential snowfalls.
EVERYTHING STANDING IN THE WAY OF NATIONWIDE ADOPTION OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES
Here’s where you can expect to possibly wake up to some snow tomorrow:
Nebraska
The Cornhusker State could be in for a very heavy snowfall, which could last all the way through Wednesday. Snowfall could be up to 14 inches, with heavy winds going at 50 miles per hour.
As such, the National Weather Service has issued a blizzard warning, which will start at midnight on Christmas and last till 6 a.m. on Wednesday. NWS has also warned that travel should be restricted to only emergencies, and those who do brave the weather ought to bring a winter survival kit with them.
South Dakota
North of Nebraska, South Dakota is also expected to see some potential heavy snow, with the forecast being anywhere between 6-12 inches. The snowfall is expected to accumulate all through the end of Tuesday.
Minnesota
Snowfall in the Twin Cities, Minneapolis and St. Paul, is a possibility, as both cities are expected to undergo rain, which could turn into snowflakes. However, residents of the cities should not expect an official white Christmas, as one inch of snowfall is not expected to accumulate through any potential snowfall.

Ahead of Christmas, other areas of states in the U.S. that were predicted to have a chance of snow included Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. This year’s Christmas could possibly be the warmest Christmas in the country for the past 20 years, according to the Weather Channel.
The lack of snow in many parts of the U.S. is likely due to El Nino, which was declared earlier this year by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a division of the NWS. El Nino refers to a climate phenomenon that brings about warmer sea temperatures near the equator and happens roughly every two to seven years.
