Christmas Day will certainly feature some above-average temperatures. However, it won’t be the warmest Christmas we’ve seen. Lynchburg and Roanoke only have to go back to 2021 to recall the warmest Christmas on record.

Not looking good for this year...

Since forecast high temperatures are in the 50s, we won’t see any snow on Christmas this year.
