SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHEAST TEXAS AND THEN SPREAD NORTH AND
WEST ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA OVERNIGHT. PRECIPITATION WILL BEGIN
AS A COLD RAIN IN THE SOUTHEAST... BUT TEMPERATURES BELOW FREEZING
ACROSS NORTHERN OKLAHOMA WILL CAUSE THE PRECIPITATION TO FALL AS
FREEZING RAIN... FREEZING DRIZZLE... AND PERHAPS SLEET. RAIN WILL
CHANGE OVER TO FREEZING PRECIPITATION FARTHER SOUTH OVERNIGHT AS
TEMPERATURES FALL TO BELOW FREEZING. PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS AND ICE
ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN LIGHT ACROSS MOST AREAS WITH
TOTALS OF A FEW HUNDREDTHS OF AN INCH. HOWEVER... SOME ISOLATED
AMOUNTS OVER A TENTH OF AN INCH MAY OCCUR IN SOME AREAS. THE
