Winter Storm!

I hope you all are having a great Friday!  Winter has finally made a strong comeback, and things are going to get very interesting late this weekend into early next week.  Cold air is currently draining into Texas and Oklahoma.  Tomorrow's high temperatures will range from 28-32 in Oklahoma, while north Texas will struggle to reach the mid 30's.  Lows will be very cold too, ranging from the teens in Oklahoma to low 20's in north Texas.  (Windchills in northern/central Oklahoma will be close to -5!)  Sunday a system that's currently on the west coast will begin to impact our area.  This system will aid in warm/moist air will overriding the cold-dome creating precipitation.  Initially temperatures will be cold enough for light wintry precip across parts of north Texas and all of southern Oklahoma.  North Texas and southern Oklahoma will see light sleet/rain slowly transition to rain overnight Sunday into Monday; however, central/eastern/northern Oklahoma will see a more prolonged period of winter precip likely starting as snow Sunday evening before transitioning to a sleet/freezing drizzle event during Monday.  Accumulations appear to be relatively light due to marginal temperatures and light precip, but parts of central/northern/eastern Oklahoma could pick up 1-3" with isolated 4" amounts.  The frozen precip will likely impact travel Monday morning in Oklahoma.  Please continue to check back as this forecast will need to be fine tuned.  The snow maps below are preliminary and will be adjusted as needed.  (Some adjustment of precip to the north/south may be needed.  A temperature difference of 1-2 degrees could totally change the "ballgame.")  Keep in mind that this event is a couple days out and a lot can change over the next several hours!  Please share this to spread the word on the possibility of winter weather impacting parts of the area.  We have winter weather safety tips as well as definitions at http://www.primoweather.com/winter.html
