White Christmas 2023 Forecast - Who Has the Best Chance Out West and East

As Christmas Day approaches, you may wonder what the chances are of waking up to a picturesque, snow-covered landscape on December 25th. Well, if you live out West, it looks promising, thanks to a couple of storm systems.

However, if you reside in the Eastern half of the country, you probably shouldn't get your hopes up.

Out in the Western United States, the weather pattern is coming together to provide the possibility of a travel-snarling, landscape-coating snow event leading up to Christmas.

A weather disturbance approaching the Pacific Northwest on Friday evening will join forces with another system over the Southwestern states. The two will merge into one larger storm that will sweep through much of the Intermountain West and High Plains over the weekend.

It will bring widespread snow showers from Saturday through Sunday morning. The Pacific Northwest will also see precipitation, but it will fall as rain and snow mix.
