OKLAHOMA CITY -

Monday will be the warmest day of the next nine so Enjoy the sunshine and 50s.

Monday night and Tuesday are looking cloudy with some drizzle possible. Tuesday night into Wednesday we're projecting another round of drizzle with a chance for a light wintry mix in northwest Oklahoma on Wednesday morning.

The "SIBERIAN SLIDE" is headed our way. The front moves in on Thursday morning. Along the front, gusts 50 to 60 mph at times. Dangerous wind chills with values -5 to -25 degrees. Thursday snow will push in along and behind the front.

The totals don't look all that impressive, however, it will be blowing snow which could limit visibility and lead to significant drifts. The worst conditions look to be in northern and northeastern OK.

Most of Oklahoma will climb above freezing on Christmas Day.
