... Widespread wintry mix expected late Sunday through early Monday...
As a storm system approaches the region... precipitation is expected
to begin late Sunday afternoon across far western Oklahoma and
adjacent parts of North Texas... then spread north and east Sunday
night. It appears that precipitation will start as snow at most
locations... then transition to a mixture of sleet and freezing rain
late Sunday night... before switching to rain or drizzle on Monday.
The greatest chance for accumulating snow is forecast to occur
across western Oklahoma Sunday evening... then across north-central
Oklahoma overnight Sunday into Monday morning. The greatest chance
of snow and sleet will occur from around Wichita Falls up through
Oklahoma City. The greatest chance for a glazing of ice from
freezing rain will be over south-central and southeast Oklahoma.
Current forecasts suggest that accumulations will be relatively
light and should not cause significant disruptions to travel or
power supplies. The maximum snow total expected is around three
inches. The maximum ice accumulations are expected to be less than
one-quarter inch. However... with it being quite cold through
Sunday... slick and hazardous bridges... overpasses... and sidewalks
may form quickly once precipitation begins.
You should check NOAA Weather Radio... or your favorite internet
and TV sources for the latest information on the upcoming winter
weather.
