One of our local forecasters is predicting a near blizzard event for parts of Oklahoma with wide spread 5 to 10 inches of snow and a area that could get 12 to 22 inches just west of Tulsa. Winter storm warning continues for a large part Of the southern plains. The cold air is spreading to the southeast very fast with rain developing behind the front. Freezing temps now expected across most of the state by morning.Central into eastern Oklahoma will see snowfall for at leats 24 hours. Blowing and drifting snow still expected with drifts from 2 to 4 feet. Parts of Kansas and Missouri will also see heavy snow. For northwest Arkansas precip type is still a big question will it change over to snow by saturday evening or wait until towards the end of the winter storm. There also could be a window where there will be some ice before the change over to all snow. It still appears this will be a high impact storm. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing winter weather situation.
