The National Weather Service forecasted that most of the United States will not have snow on the ground on Christmas Day, with only parts of the Rocky Mountains, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and areas close to the Canadian border potentially seeing snow. Some parts of the Northeast may experience snow showers on Tuesday, the day before Christmas. Despite the lack of snow in most areas, travelers were expected to take to the skies in the millions ahead of the holiday. The Transportation Security Administration reported that Friday and Saturday were projected to be the busiest days for air transportation during the holiday season. On Thursday, there were already 2.6 million air passengers. The AAA predicted a record number of travelers in the U. S. for the end of the year, with 119 million people expected to travel from Saturday to Jan. 1. Around 90% of these travelers are expected to drive to their destinations. While some parts of the Northeast may see snow showers, other regions like Kansas, Oklahoma, and most of Pennsylvania were unlikely to have a white Christmas this year. Buffalo, known for its snow, was forecasted to see snow on Monday night and Tuesday morning, but it could turn to rain. Overall, the holiday season will likely be green and brown in many parts of the U.S.
