THIRDS OF OKLAHOMA AND PARTS OF NORTH TEXAS THIS WEEKEND.

LIGHT RAIN AND DRIZZLE MAY DEVELOP TONIGHT OVER MUCH OF SOUTHERN AND
CENTRAL OKLAHOMA... AND WESTERN NORTH TEXAS... MAINLY ALONG AND

THIS TIME... IT APPEARS THAT SOME ICE ACCUMULATION WILL BE LIKELY...
MAINLY OVER SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA. LESSER AMOUNTS WILL BE LIKELY FROM
WEST-CENTRAL OKLAHOMA... TO CENTRAL AND SOUTH-CENTRAL OKLAHOMA...
AND INTO NORTH TEXAS. SOME TRAVEL PROBLEMS ARE POSSIBLE...
ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTHWEST PARTS OF OKLAHOMA. MOST OF THE

AS TEMPERATURES RISE AGAIN ON SATURDAY... THE PRECIPITATION WILL
TURN TO RAIN. ANOTHER SURGE OF COLD AIR WILL AGAIN BRING
TEMPERATURES DOWN FOR SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY... RESULTING IN A
MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW... BUT NO SIGNIFICANT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE
CURRENTLY EXPECTED.
