BALTIMORE, MD – With the holidays drawing near, everyone in Baltimore, Maryland and along the Atlantic Corridor is wondering if December 25 might bring a wintry surprise. Forecasters are still debating the chances, while other parts of the country gear up for whatever the season has in store. Will this coastal region wake up to a dusting of holiday snow—or settle for a milder Christmas morning?
Patterns from the Past: Christmas Forecast 2024
Early forecasts point to certain central areas as having decent odds, although The 2025 Old Farmer’s Almanac predicts a generally milder winter for much of the country.
If you’re unsure about this year’s outcome, take a look at history. NOAA’s long record of weather data shows which parts of the country usually get a snowy holiday and which ones rarely do.
Northeast and Great Lakes
Northern areas like Maine, Minnesota, North Dakota, Michigan, and Wisconsin commonly have snow on the ground by late December. Minneapolis, for instance, has about an 80% chance of a white Christmas. In northern Michigan and Minnesota, it’s about three out of four years. New Hampshire’s White Mountains see snow nearly 97% of the time. Northern Vermont has odds ranging from 75% to 95%. Move toward coastal spots like Boston, and that figure falls to around 20%.
Western Regions
In the West, higher elevations help. Missoula, Montana, has about a 98% chance of snow. Idaho City, close to Boise, hits 94%. Salt Lake City sits near 50%. In Colorado, it depends on height: east of Denver, it’s around 40%, while southwest of Boulder jumps to 77%. Even Flagstaff, Arizona, lands near a 44% chance.
Lower Likelihood Elsewhere
Beyond these snowy zones, the odds go down. The Plains, Mid-Atlantic, South, and Texas-Oklahoma region usually stay mild. Washington, D.C., holds only about a 6% chance of snow on Christmas.
What to Expect
According to The 2025 Old Farmer’s Almanac, many U.S. regions probably won’t see a white Christmas. Northern Maine could still have some snow, but not so much for the rest of New England. The Atlantic Corridor, Appalachians, Southeast, Florida, Lower Great Lakes, and Upper Midwest lean away from snowy conditions. The Ohio Valley might see a slim possibility.
The Heartland looks more hopeful, and some High Plains areas north of I-70 might get snow. The Rockies also have a chance. Northern Arizona, the Desert Southwest, Pacific Northwest, and Pacific Southwest likely won’t see much. Alaska should remain snowy, while Hawaii will stay snow-free.
How Baltimore and the Atlantic Corridor Fit In
Baltimore and much of the Atlantic Corridor generally don’t witness snowy weather on Christmas. This year, conditions appear more inclined toward mild and dry rather than white. While some inland areas may hold onto a glimmer of hope, the odds here remain low.
Wrapping It Up
For Baltimore, Maryland, a white Christmas might be wishful thinking this time around. Although other parts of the country have varying chances, this coastal region is set to stay calm and mostly clear. Keep the forecasts in mind as you plan holiday festivities—snow or not, the season can still be merry and bright. Merry Christmas!
