The White Christmas Forecast for 2023: What to Expect

The chance of having a white Christmas in Portland, Oregon is slim, with only a 2% chance of snowfall at the Portland International Airport on Christmas Day. In the past, there have been only two years with significant snowfall on Christmas, and this year's forecast predicts warmer temperatures than normal. While precipitation is expected, it will likely be in the form of rain due to the warmer conditions. Higher elevations may see snow from previous snow events near the Cascade mountain passes.
