Rain Showers are currently making their way across the state which is great news for the Month of December in Oklahoma! State Climatologist Gary McManus says the storm will be moving East, and then Dive South and the Rainfall pattern will mirror that movement, “We do have some pretty good totals thus far across far Western OK, especially for December.”
McManus says the current totals will continue to go up over the next few days as rain will continue through Friday Morning across parts of the state.
While the December Rain is much needed across Oklahoma, McManus says that most of the state probably won’t see snow for a White Christmas this year, “Now about that snow…you ain’t getting any. At least most of you. But we do have a winter storm warning for Cimarron County and a traveler’s advisory for Texas County, where we could see totals ranging from about 6 inches to the west to around an inch or so to the east.”
McManus says after this system moves through, we will be seeing clear skies throughout the next few days, and the possibility of some more precipitation over the New Year.. ” Notice that green spreading east? It does look like right around next weekend there will be another chance of moisture. LIQUID moisture, before you get too excited. Bitter cold? Ice? Snow? New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day, maybe? That’s how I remember Oklahoma working.”
