If you are dreaming of a white Christmas in Central Kansas this year, you may have to just keep on dreaming.

A white Christmas in Central Kansas is rare. This year this is virtually no chance.

According to the National Weather Service, all this week through Saturday, high temperatures in the 50s are expected with overnight lows in the 30s, above freezing. There is a chance for rain Christmas night into Thursday.

For official records a white Christmas is defined as 1 inch or more of snow on the ground. It can either fall on Christmas day, or have been on the ground from a previous storm.
