Rain is likely Wednesday morning. The wind will begin increasing Wednesday afternoon, and the rain should switch to snow by Wednesday late afternoon or early evening. The bulk of the snow will stick after that and until about sunrise on Christmas morning. During that time the wind could gust to 30 mph. Some sun will be out later Christmas Day. There are slight chances of rain-then-snow on Friday, and the weekend looks cold.
