A snowman made of tires painted white looks out from a hillside next to Queen Road in Clay County. With warmer-than-usual temperatures in the forecast, the Charleston area isn’t likely to see real snowmen any time this Christmas week.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Dreaming of a white Christmas? Keep dreaming.
The Charleston area probably won’t see any snow that day. Temperatures are expected to stay relatively warm for the foreseeable future, said Jonathan Wolfe, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Charleston. There is a good chance of rain on Christmas Eve, Wolfe said.
“Christmas Day looks a little drier but not totally dry,” Wolfe said.
Temperatures for the holiday Friday are expected to be in the 50s and 60s, he said.
“Our probability of getting a white Christmas this year is low — quite low,” Wolfe said.
But while it’s unusual to be having 60- and 70-degree days in mid-December, it’s not all that common for the Charleston area to have snow on Christmas, either…
