Below is the Winter Storm Warning we received this afternoon. So far, our other warnings, predicting between 4 to 10 inches of snow, have each produced a dusting and snow up to 2 inches. I'm beginning to remember the story about the Boy Who Cried Wolf. Time will tell.
LIGHT SNOW LATE THIS MORNING WAS SPREADING OVER MUCH OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION INDICATED BY RADAR WAS ALOFT WITH ONLY ISOLATED SURFACE REPORTS OF VERY LIGHT RAIN AND SNOW. PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY DURING THE AFTERNOON. SNOW MAY BECOME HEAVY AT TIMES...ESPECIALLY THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...AS THE UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM APPROACHES FROM THE WEST.
SNOWFALL TOTALS OF 5 TO 8 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE IN THE WARNING AREA...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS APPROACHING 10 INCHES IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN AREAS OF NORTHWEST ARKANSAS AND BENEATH CONVECTIVE BANDS THAT ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE OVER SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA LATER TODAY ISOLATED THUNDER WITH SNOW IS POSSIBLE LATE THIS AFTERNOON IN SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA.
PRECIPITATION WILL LIKELY REMAIN RAIN OR A MIXTURE OF RAIN AND SNOW IN FAR SOUTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA THIS AFTERNOON... WITH A GRADUAL CHANGE TO ALL SNOW TONIGHT. SNOWFALL TOTALS OF 4 TO 6 INCHES...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS...ARE POSSIBLE FOR THIS PORTION OF THE WARNING THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING.
ROAD CONDITIONS WILL WORSEN LATE TODAY AND ESPECIALLY TONIGHT. ADDITIONALLY... THE EXPECTED SNOWFALL RATES WILL REDUCE VISIBILITIES TO BELOW ONE HALF MILE AT TIMES...WHICH WILL FURTHER WORSEN DRIVING CONDITIONS. TRAVEL BY TONIGHT ACROSS THE WARNING AREA WILL BE DISCOURAGED.
THIS WINTER STORM WARNING MEANS SIGNIFICANT WINTER WEATHER IS EXPECTED. GUSTY WINDS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE. THIS WILL MAKE TRAVEL VERY HAZARDOUS OR IMPOSSIBLE.
