Discussion
After an unusual cold spell for this warm month, temperatures will rebound over the next few days and could reach record high levels once again by Wednesday and Thursday (Christmas Eve) in much of the eastern half of the nation. Unfortunately, the warm up is likely to be accompanied by some rain with a shower threat extending from later today through Thursday. A cool front will slide through by Friday and it’ll turn slightly cooler to end the week, but temperatures will remain above normal for this time of year on Christmas Day.
