Christmas weather in Asheville: No snow is forecast

(This story has been updated with additional information.)

Are you dreaming of a white Christmas? The National Weather Service is here to burst your bubble.

Most North Carolinians know that there is generally a high chance of snow on Christmas Day. In fact, the last real snow the Western North Carolina region had on Christmas – aside from isolated areas like Asheville – was over a decade ago. This year the region may see slightly less sunny weather on December 25, but it won’t be white.

Here’s what NWS meteorologists said about Christmas weather in Asheville and WNC in 2024.

Asheville Christmas Weather 2024

Parts of WNC will see some precipitation on December 25th this year. However, NWS meteorologist Doug Outlaw told Citizen Times that there is a 30-40% chance of rain in Asheville and surrounding areas.

Overall, conditions on Christmas Day are expected to be mostly cloudy and the temperature will be 54 degrees, far too high to keep snow on the ground.

When was the last white Christmas in Asheville?

“The last Christmas snow across the region, including the mountains of North Carolina and even into the Greenville area, was in 2010,” Outlaw said. “So that was 14 years ago.”

While larger areas of the region may not have seen heavier snow on Christmas since 2010, records (and recollections of area residents) show that Asheville itself experienced a white Christmas in 2020.
