White Christmas Possible for High Desert?

Southern California residents dreaming of a white Christmas might get their wish. Weather experts are forecasting a possibility of wet and snowy conditions moving into the High Desert region just before the holiday. An atmospheric river event is anticipated to deliver precipitation from December 23rd through Christmas Day.

While the Victor Valley could experience rain, the San Bernardino and San Gabriel mountains are poised to become a picturesque winter landscape with snow. If conditions align favorably, portions of the Victor Valley might see snowfall ranging from a mere dusting to substantial accumulations. Temperatures are expected to drop significantly during this period.

Until this potential holiday weather arrives, the Victor Valley is enjoying milder conditions with high temperatures in the mid to high 70s. The first day of winter, the winter solstice, occurs on December 21, 2025, signaling the shortest day and longest night of the year in the northern hemisphere.
