... Wintry precipitation looking likely for Sunday night into
Monday...

A mix of wintry precipitation is expected across eastern Oklahoma
and northwest Arkansas from late Sunday night... continuing into
the day Monday. The timing of precipitation could mean impacts for
the Monday morning commute.

An Arctic cold front will move southward today and tonight... ushering
the coldest air of the season into the area. Windy conditions
following the cold frontal passage could cause subzero wind chills
Saturday morning. The cold air will persist across the region
through the weekend.

A fast moving storm system will move out of the western United
States late in the weekend... resulting in precipitation
development across the plains region. With cold air already in
place... the precipitation will likely begin as snow or sleet across
most of northeast Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas late Sunday
night and early Monday morning... with rain or freezing rain across
southeast Oklahoma.

As the storm system moves closer to and over the area... low and
mid level temperatures will increase from south to north... which
will cause the snow and sleet to transition to rain or freezing
rain by Monday morning. Enough mid level dry air may move into
the region by Monday afternoon to result in a transition to
drizzle or freezing drizzle before precipitation ends Monday
night.

The highest snow accumulations will likely occur near the Kansas
and Missouri borders... as well as in the higher terrain areas of
northwest Arkansas. At this time... it appears that 1 to 3 inches
of snow accumulation will be possible... however... these forecast
amounts are not final. These amounts will be refined as new data
are analyzed over the weekend.

There is also the potential for some minor ice accumulations to
the south of the snow accumulations. Prolonged power outages or
similar major ice impacts are not expected... although minor ice
related impacts may occur as winds increase behind the system.

Details of this event continue to be refined... so interested
parties should monitor forecasts and future statements over the
weekend.
