Overview
- Saturday features sunshine and a rebound from a chilly start, with breezy conditions and highs reaching the 50s in the Ohio Valley and low 70s along the Gulf Coast.
- A weak, largely washed-out front brings more clouds and a light, scattered shower chance Sunday, around 20–30% in Gulf Coast areas such as New Orleans.
- Highs trend well above seasonal norms through Christmas, commonly in the 60s–70s and locally near 80 in Texas, with Houston near record territory.
- Jackson forecasters say Christmas could rank among the five warmest on record near 77 degrees, while coastal Georgia eyes lower 70s under mostly sunny skies.
- Northern markets see a temperature seesaw—Cincinnati and Louisville turn cooler Sunday before warming next week—with limited, mainly light shower chances early in the week and generally minor travel impacts like morning fog and occasional gusty winds.
