The holiday atmosphere in Oklahoma City this Christmas is being complemented by a light drizzle and a foggy mist, making for a Christmas Day that's less 'white Christmas' and more 'wet Christmas'. The NWS details a touch of fog persisting until 11 am and overcast skies with a high near 49, carried lightly by a north northeast wind moving at 3 to 6 mph, as reported by the National Weather Service (NWS), Oklahoma City.
Vision is likely to partially clear as the day unfolds, but don't expect to sight Santa's sleigh through the mist—it's waving merely two miles of visibility for those out and about. Tonight, the clouds continue their stay, with the temperature marginally dropping to around 46 degrees and an east wind softly shifting around 5 mph before becoming calm in the evening. The NWS forecast has also included a 70% chance of precipitation for Thursday with potential showers and thunderstorms forecasted for mid-morning to noon, and showers likely to continue past noon.
As we transition into Thursday night, a 40% chance of showers could manifest before midnight, afterwards possibly making way to only a chance of sprinkles. Conditions thereafter show an amenability to marginal improvement; the clouds persisting, albeit with a low around 44 degrees, while the north wind moves at around 5 mph and then calms later in the evening.
For those planning ahead into the weekend, the weather is teasingly beginning to offer better news. Friday makes room for mostly cloudy skies and highs reaching near a more comfortable 59 degrees, before ebbing into a mostly cloudy night around 44. Saturday and Sunday promise mostly sunny days, with their respective highs at approximately 61 and 63 degrees and lows at 41 and 43 degrees. The start of the following week even hints at uninterrupted sunshine with Monday projected to reach 65 degrees at its warmth-peak, according to the NWS forecast.
