Statement as of 5:06 am CST on February 11, 2012

... Possible winter weather to affect portions of southeast
Oklahoma... southwest Arkansas and extreme northeast Texas from
Sunday night into Monday...

As an Arctic ridge of high pressure moves into central portions of
the country... cold and dry conditions will be found areawide on
Saturday and Sunday... with lows in the teens and 20s and highs
only in the 40s.

During the overnight hours on Sunday... a low pressure system will
be approaching from The Four Corners region of the country. In
advance of this system... an abundance of moisture will be pulled
up from the Gulf of Mexico.

At this time it appears that enough cold air will be present for a
mixture of wintry precipitation across portions of southeast
Oklahoma... southwest Arkansas and extreme northeast Texas. Snow
and sleet will be common along a line from Broken Bow Oklahoma... to
De Queen... to Prescott Arkansas. Freezing rain and sleet are
possible from Clarksville to Mount Pleasant Texas... eastward to
El Dorado Arkansas.

Light wintry precipitation can begin as early as Sunday evening... with
heavier precipitation beginning after midnight. Below freezing
temperatures will be common across this area... which may allow
for light ice accumulations and greater impacts on roadways.
Precipitation will likely transition to rain by mid morning on
Monday... as temperatures climb above freezing.

There is still a little uncertainty with this storm system at
this time. Additional forecasts will help fine tune the
details... especially with regards to possible accumulations and
exact precipitation type.
