CLEVELAND — Other than some clouds moving back in, it will be quiet and cold overnight. Many areas will fall back through the teens for overnight lows, but thankfully, there will only be a light breeze, so there will not be much of a wind chill to deal with.
Temperatures start to rebound on Monday. It will be more seasonal, with highs in the upper 30s to low 40s. Daytime hours look dry on Monday with increasing clouds. The next system arrives by Monday evening and will bring a wintry mix of rain and snow showers that will continue on Christmas Eve morning. A quick 1-2'' of snow will be possible in some areas. This means there is a *small* chance for some folks to wake up to a White Christmas (which by definition is at least 1 inch of snow on the ground at 7 am Christmas morning).
Any snow on the ground, though, will be fleeting! We continue to warm on Christmas Day, with temperatures in the low to mid-40s. So even if there is snow on the ground for some in the morning, by the afternoon, it will look green for many due to melting snow. Plus, some light rain showers will also be possible on Wednesday.
The warming trend continues during the end of the week. The 50s look feasible by Friday!
