Christmas Day 2019 Weather Forecast Released For Maryland

MARYLAND — If you don't want to shiver in freezing Arctic air and drive on snow-covered highways to reach your Christmas gathering, then this forecast is a gift for you. There is no snow, no rain, no ice, and no bitter cold in the Maryland forecast through Christmas Day.

The National Weather Service has published its Christmas Day forecast and it feels more early spring than the first week of winter. On Christmas Day, Maryland is expected to see plenty of sunshine and high temperatures in the upper 40s to low 50s. There is zero percent chance of precipitation.

A long term forecast released earlier this month by the Old Farmer's Almanac had raised hopes for Christmas romantics, predicting a chance of rain then snow on the big day. Historical data gathered over years by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, however, shows the chances of Christmas Day snow were never good.

And before we get to Christmas Day, we'll see a cool weekend followed by temps rebounding into the 50s on Monday and Tuesday. The second half of next week should be pleasant with no hint of storms and highs in the upper 40s.

Enjoy the brief warmup — January is right around the corner.
