We may be missing out on a white Christmas this year, but that won't stop it from being a pleasant holiday in our neighborhoods. The day will feature clouds and some sunshine, with temperatures checking in around ten degrees above average in the low to mid 40s. If you're saving your travel for Christmas Day, you'll be in good shape during the day. It's late Thursday night into Friday, where things will get a bit more dicey.

A new storm system moving into the Great Lakes late Thursday night will bring rain and possibly a wintry mix to the region heading into Friday. That mix could briefly include some sleet or freezing rain before daybreak on Friday, but will trend toward all rain as highs reach the mid 40s in the afternoon. Regardless, be prepare to add some travel time if you plan on hitting the roads and dial back your speed a bit.
