Portland - Snow Amount Forecast Christmas Weekend

By Rod Hill on 2021-12-22


Snow update time. Keep in mind the graphic shows current output from weather models that generally agree through the day Wednesday. Tomorrow, timelines, snow amounts, temps etc will likely change somewhat. I am giving you daily details, in an effort to paint a possible picture of what to expect as the cold air arrives. Understand that updates and changes are LIKELY!





Christmas Day seems to be settling in as a wet mix at low elevations with temps above freezing. Sticking snow could begin at 500' or closer to 1,000 feet. The snow chance for the valley floor begins Saturday overnight into Sunday. Amounts listed are based on the best info currently available. The air may stay cold enough for the totals to stack up day after day. I do see a dry break Monday pm and Tuesday morning. Cold east winds developing Tuesday could lead to calm wind areas Wednesday and Thursday mornings dipping into the teens.


Multiple snow chances show up through the 10th day of January.
