SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK247 PM CST TUE DEC 25 2007

...A WINTRY MIX OF PRECIPITATION IS LIKELY TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...

A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH OKLAHOMA AND NORTH TEXAS AND AN UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM OVER NEW MEXICO WILL APPROACH THE SOUTHERN PLAINS CHRISTMAS NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE COLD FRONT WILL BRING COOLER TEMPERATURES TO THE AREA WHILE THE STORM SYSTEM WILL HELP IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF PRECIPITATION. DRY AIR INITIALLY WILL PREVENT MUCH PRECIPITATION FROM DEVELOPING ON CHRISTMAS EVENING AND ONLY WESTERN OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN NORTH TEXAS WILL HAVE THE CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION BEFORE MIDNIGHT. HOWEVER MOISTURE WILL INCREASE ALLOWING RAIN AND SNOW TO BECOME MORE LIKELY ON WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH THE HIGHEST CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION IN SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTH TEXAS. PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO END WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AS THE STORM SYSTEM MOVES EAST OF THE AREA. THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE IN THE FORM OF SNOW ACROSS NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA AND RAIN ACROSS SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA.

ELSEWHERE THE PRECIPITATION MAY BEGIN AS RAIN BEFORE MIXING WITH OR CHANGING TO SNOW. MOST AREAS WILL SEE AN INCH OR LESS OF SNOW ACCUMULATIONS...ALTHOUGH SMALL AREAS MAY RECEIVE MORE THAN AN INCH. ALTHOUGH WIDESPREAD TRAVEL PROBLEMS ARE NOT ANTICIPATED...THE SNOW AND COLD TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT AND WEDNESDAY MORNING MAY CREATE SLICK CONDITIONS ON BRIDGES AND ISOLATED SLICK SPOTS ON ROADWAYS. TEMPERATURES WILL RISE ABOVE FREEZING ACROSS OKLAHOMA AND NORTH TEXAS ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON ALLOWING CONDITIONS TO IMPROVE.

ANYONE PLANNING TO TRAVEL LATE TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY MORNING SHOULD REMAIN ALERT FOR SLICK ROADS...AND MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS AND STATEMENTS.

lot of
improvement on this report, and I would expect that to continue over the
next 12
to 24 hours. Thanks.
