Meteorologists across Oklahoma were having a hard time this month pinning down Oklahoma's Christmas forecast. Some radars were indicating cool weather and winter precipitation, while others were leaning towards mild and dry conditions. Now that we're a few days away from Christmas, Oklahomans can now be more confident in the weather predictions for the holiday.

According to the National Weather Service in Norman, the last weekend of holiday shopping in Oklahoma will be dry, cool and sunny - the perfect weather for getting last minute gifts! But when we get even closer to Christmas, rain is expected to return to Oklahoma.

A second Pacific system will move into Oklahoma the evening of Christmas Eve and into Christmas Day. But during the day on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, Oklahoma is expected to remain cloudy and overcast.
