...FREEZING DRIZZLE AND FREEZING RAIN POSSIBLE TONIGHT...

A STRONG COLD FRONT LOCATED OVER NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA WILL PUSH
SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST TONIGHT. TEMPERATURES IMMEDIATELY BEHIND
THE FRONT WILL QUICKLY FALL INTO THE UPPER 20S WITH A BREEZY
NORTH WIND. SHALLOW MOISTURE AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL BE LIFTED
AS THE FRONT APPROACHES WHICH MAY RESULT IN AREAS OF FREEZING
DRIZZLE OR VERY LIGHT FREEZING RAIN. AN UPPER AIR DISTURBANCE
WILL ALSO AID IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF LIGHT RAIN OR SLEET ACROSS
PARTS OF SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. TEMPERATURES
ACROSS SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA ARE AT OR JUST ABOVE FREEZING SO
LIGHT FREEZING RAIN MAY OCCUR ACROSS THIS REGION INTO THE
EVENING HOURS.

PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS ALONG AND NEAR THE FRONT ARE EXPECTED TO
BE VERY LIGHT...BUT STILL MAY CAUSE A FEW SLICK SPOTS
TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY ON BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES. IT IS IMPORTANT
TO REMAIN INFORMED OF THE LATEST WEATHER CONDITION AND FORECAST
AS THIS NEW ROUND OF COLD AIR ENTERS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS.
