Is it going to snow on Christmas Eve

The National Weather Service is predicting light snow around Massachusetts late tonight into Christmas Eve.

Signs point to a strong likelihood that it will snow on Christmas Eve this year, according to the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration’s forecaster’s discussion.

“The bulk of the forcing will pass north of the area, but there will be a band of light snow moving in from the west towards day break Tuesday,” the discussion said. “The light snow will be short-lived at any given location due to the narrow corridor of forcing.”

It would likely be less than an inch of snow, according to forecasts. For it to be officially considered a white Christmas, at least an inch of snow would have to be sticking to the ground.
