While there are no chances of a white Christmas this year in Northern Virginia, according to forecasters, we will at least see colder, wintry temperatures by then.

Christmas Day on Wednesday is expected to be sunny with a high of 35 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.

The weather leading up to Christmas Day is warm and rainy. Monday's rainfall was expected to be over by 2 p.m., according to the National Weather Service. The high Monday was around 60 degrees, and temperatures began to dip by Monday afternoon, with a Monday night low of 35 degrees.

On Tuesday, the warm balmy temperatures from the past few days are gone, with temperatures reaching a high of just 39 degrees. Northern Virginia has a chance of snow showers Tuesday afternoon, a 40 percent chance, after 3 p.m. Forecasters say any snow that falls will not stick.

Christmas Day through Friday is expected to be sunny and chilly with highs in the 30s and 40s.
