The NWS forecast is now right in line with Montgomery and my predictions. If we can only get lucky with a little moisture!

I still think CLL could see 8-9 degrees

And I’m certainly not throwing in the towel on potential precip late Christmas Eve.

It's very possible, although the Aggie UHI could mitigate by a few degrees.

It ain't over until it's over on precip! (except during the summer in CLL)

Often when the temperature does not go above freezing, it is cloudy. The forecast has it as clear.
Strong CAA could overcome that.

Where are you located? I looked across a few models…. I see nothing remotely in that range. I’m guessing some coastal areas could see low-mid 40s on Christmas but that would be it.

Must be some climo factored in, because the majors don’t show that.

I’m beginning to wonder if I pop above freezing Saturday…. Maybe 34-35 max.

Wife and I are supposed to fly out to Charlotte on Christmas day, then drive to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge on the 26th until the 29th for our 25th anniversary. Do you think we should cancel due to the weather, or should we be ok? Our main concern is driving across the Smokies on the 26th.

In Richmond about 15 to 20 miles south of Houston.

You folks should be just fine. It's going to be cold, but currently no precipitation in our local forecast for the 26th. North Carolina DOT does a remarkable job keeping I-40 open. There is some construction on I-40 near the Tennessee State Line in the Pigeon Gorge, but delays are nothing like the Houston metro area. Enjoy your trip and Happy Anniversary!
