Weather Blog: Gloomy Skies Christmas Day, Storms Likely Thursday

Christmas Day still looks a little gloomy with cloudy skies, a low chance of drizzle, and highs in the upper 40s for many.

Temperatures climb a few degrees on Thursday but rain and storms are likely in the afternoon and evening. Right now, any severe threat looks to be in SE OK with quarter size hail and gusts to 60 mph possible.

This weekend we could see highs back to around 60 degrees with low rain chances. Some data tries to bring in a wintry mix to the west metro on New Year's Day, but other data says we are complete dry.

What to Expect for Christmas:

Wednesday (Christmas Day):

1. Weather: Cloudy, low chance of drizzle, and highs in upper 40s.
2. Travel Impact: No major weather disruptions expected across Oklahoma or the U.S.

When Does Winter Start?

Saturday marked the official start of winter, and while temperatures will dip slightly to the 40s, it’s shaping up to be a dry day.

If you’re planning a weekend getaway or just a stroll to admire Christmas lights, the weather should cooperate.

Christmas Week Forecast

It won’t be a white Christmas, but we’ll take the mild weather!

While snow lovers might be disappointed, this much-needed precipitation will be a welcome gift after a dry month.
