Will New York City experience a White Christmas in 2024? The National Weather Service defines a White Christmas as having at least one inch of snow on the ground by 7 a.m. on Christmas Day. Let's explore the forecast.

Christmas Eve Snow

Christmas Eve brought snowfall to parts of the tri-state area. Coastal areas saw around an inch, while Northwest New Jersey, the Catskills, and Hudson Valley experienced 2-3 inches.

However, afternoon temperatures above freezing melted much of this snow, dashing hopes for a White Christmas near the coast.

White Christmas Chances

Higher elevations in New Jersey, the Poconos, Catskills, and Hudson Valley are likely to see a White Christmas. Coastal areas, however, are less likely to meet the one-inch threshold.

Christmas and Hanukkah Weather

Christmas Day and the first night of Hanukkah are expected to be calm with temperatures in the mid-30s and clear skies.
