The Christmas period brought wet weather to various parts of the United States, with forecasts predicting continued rainfall and potential flooding in certain regions. Santa's deliveries across the Midlands and CSRA were completed without getting wet, but the areas experienced a warm Christmas Day with showers moving in, and Alabama saw windy and wet conditions with rain expected to end later in the day. The southern Appalachians faced possible flash flooding due to widespread showers and storms, with the NWS warning of over two inches of rain in coastal South Carolina and issuing a Flood Watch for the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia. The Bay Area anticipated two rain systems post-Christmas, with the first expected on Wednesday, bringing 0.5-2 inches of rain in the North Bay and less than 1 inch elsewhere. East Alabama experienced heavier rain with thunder and wind gusts up to 30/40 mph. South Florida had light rain beginning with chances increasing throughout Christmas Day. A Flood Watch was in effect until Wednesday morning for the southern Blue Ridge, with rainfall totals possibly exceeding 2-3 inches. The Carolinas were advised to monitor forecasts for potential flooding, with a Flood Watch in effect for parts of western NC through the following morning. The Bay Area was preparing for gusty winds and several rounds of rain expected throughout the week.
