Record-high temperatures, cross-country storm forecast this holiday weekend
ABC News
Parts of the U.S. will have record high holiday temperatures this weekend while a cross country storm will bring snow to Nebraska and South Dakota.
Record-high temperatures are possible this holiday weekend with temperatures in Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and North Dakota forecast to reach the 40s and 50s.
On Sunday -- Christmas Eve -- records may be broken in some places, like Minneapolis, Minnesota, where the record high is 46 degrees from 1957 and the forecast high this year is nearly 10 degrees higher than that record, in the middle 50s.
Other places like Duluth, Minnesota; Green Bay, Wisconsin; Sioux Falls, South Dakota; and Cedar Rapids, Iowa, may break high temperature records as well.
On Christmas Day, Green Bay will be near a record-high with temperatures nearing 50 degrees.
Saturday morning, one system is beginning its end -- there is rain around the Great Lakes and that will lead to some snow for upstate New York, Vermont and New Hampshire later Saturday and on Sunday. The next cross-country storm is already bringing snow to the Rockies and rain to the Desert Southwest.
