Britain is set for a wet and rainy weekend in the lead up to Christmas with little chance of any snow falling before the big day - but December 25 could see sunshine across the east.
Sunday will conclude a wet and rainy weekend in the lead up to Christmas and the chance of any snow falling before the big day remains low.
Parts of the north may even experience some freezing fog first thing on Christmas Eve as temperatures are expected to plummet to below zero over night on Sunday in the north.
But Simon Partridge, a Met Office meteorologist, told MailOnline: 'There will be though some bright, possibly even some sunny spells through the day on Christmas Day, particularly in the east.
'So east of the Pennines, east of Scotland and southeast England could see some reasonably bright or sunny spells during the day.'
Mr Partridge said Christmas Day would be 'a bit cloudier towards the west' but 'generally a dry, settled day'.
Fellow Met Office meteorologist Martin Bowles said that it's more likely to be a 'grey Christmas than a white Christmas' as the weather becomes more settled but dominated by cloud.

Today, the last shopping Saturday before Christmas Day, was set to be sunny for the most part before showers hit later this afternoon.
Mr Bowles said: 'This afternoon its set to be sunny with some showers in the north while the south of England will have a dry day.
'The average temperature is slightly above average for this time of year with a high of 8C expected in northern parts today and around 11C in the south.
'Tonight we're expecting some heavy rain coming in from the south west meaning it'll be a wet and windy start to Sunday but the rain should come to a halt as it moves across the country and it'll stay dry and bright in Scotland.'
Tomorrow is predicted to be a 'pretty damp day' with 'heavy bursts' of rain initially but 'becoming lighter and patchier as the day goes on'.
Christmas Eve will be a much more settled day weather wise although it isn't looking like there'll be any snow this festive season and the UK will have to settle with a 'grey feel' to the day.
Mr Bowles said: 'It'll be damp and grey in the south with a high on 11C but brighter in Scotland and the north with highs around 7C.

'There could be some freezing fog to start off with in the north however as temperatures will drop below zero overnight, but overall a decent weather day - great to finish off any last minute shopping.'
As for Christmas Day itself 'high pressure will dominate' and it'll be cloudy again without much chance of snow apart for the Scottish Highlands which might see a scattering on mountain tops.
Mr Bowles said: 'There'll be lots of cloud around with some sunny spells in the east and drizzle in the west in places such as Cumbria.
'It's certainly looking more like a grey Christmas, than a white Christmas. Boxing Day will also be mild and cloudy with it dry for most of the UK.'
The last official white Christmas was in 2010, when snow was widespread across Northern Ireland, Scotland, parts of Wales, the Midlands, north-east and far south-west England.
The Met Office said conditions were 'extremely unusual' because there was snow on the ground at 83 per cent of weather stations – the highest amount ever recorded.
Earlier this week heavy rain flooded parts of the country with Dunkeswell Aerodrome in Somerset experiencing 27mm (1.1in) of rain in 24 hours when the area was under a Met Office warning on Wednesday - nearly a quarter of its expected monthly average of 121mm (4.8in).
Parts of the Somerset Levels, which cover 160,000 acres, also flooded for the first time this year after the area was hit by a week's worth of rainfall in one day on Thursday.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
