Unseasonable warmth for Christmas?

So much for a White Christmas. The computer models have flip-flopped even more than usual, and are now predicting rain, rain, rain and more rain for Wednesday and Christmas Eve with temperatures reaching the 50s. This map from NOAA shows that we could easily see two inches of rain this week:
Right now, northwest Iowa seems poised to get the biggest snow. There is, however, always a chance that the computer models could flip-flop yet again and predict lower temperatures, giving us a rain-changing-to-snow scenario for Christmas Eve. As we've seen time and time again, the computer simulations are no match for Mother Nature's unpredictable antics.
