A majority of this week is expected to be rain-free, forecasters say.

AccuWeather Meteorologist Evan Duffey said conditions for those out and about to purchase a Christmas tree or put up Christmas lights will be "fantastic."

A second AccuWeather senior meteorologist, Joe Lundberg, said the weather pattern is the result of a jet stream that has split the mild air from the south from the cooler air to the north.

In the northeast, high temperatures by Saturday are expected to challenge historical highs across cities like New York, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., according to AccuWeather.

Temperatures should surpass 60 degrees Saturday and could hit as high as 64 on Sunday in the area.

"To put into perspective how mild it will be, overnight low temperatures will be higher than the average daytime high temperature for this time of year," AccuWeather Meteorologist Michael Doll said. According to Accuweather, the end of the weekend is expected to be cooler with drenching rains on Sunday and Monday.

Though cooler air will return across the Eastern states next week, the weather will remain rather mild, according to the release, Snow lovers may have to wait until the new year for any significant snow across the eastern U.S., a product of El Nino.
