Widespread travel problems, school closures expected Monday afternoon to Wednesday AM

** Freezing Drizzle, Sleet & Snow Monday through Tuesday **
** Widespread travel problems, school closures expected Monday afternoon to Wednesday AM **Sunday will be a day between weather systems. Morning cloud cover across much of central and western Oklahoma will move into eastern Oklahoma during the day. With sunshine, high temperatures should make the 40s in many areas. Some parts of southwest OK may touch 50 while northern OK may not get out of the 30s.Winds gradually veer to the northeast on Monday. Shortly after sunrise, stratus and sleet should break out across northwest and west-central Oklahoma, with snow across the Oklahoma panhandle. It is expected to become widespread quickly, as shown by our Adonis Microcast model in agreement with GFS and NAM-WRF maps. South and east of the sleet area, widespread freezing drizzle is expected. NAM-WRF grids place all areas roughly northwest of I-44 and north of Altus below freezing for the entire day. Southeast of that line, some light mix then rain should be expected.
Please refer to this website for a graphical depiction of precipitation type: http://weather.cod.edu/loops/wrfUS.preciptype.html T
his will be a prolonged event but fortunately one of light intensity. GFS and to some extent the WRF-NAM has been showing more intense uplift and higher Omega fields on Tuesday. This should lead to slightly heavier precipitation. 0Z NAM suggests the precip types will slide southeast Tuesday morning, with snow in northwest OK and sleet near I-44 and freezing drizzle across much of southeast OK and northern Arkansas.GFS historically does a better job with areal coverage of light winter precipitation of any variety, while NAM does a better job with peak intensity areas. Despite GFS's higher QPF/storm totals, I tend to believe in these types of situations the WRF-NAM will do better with peak totals given past history. Therefore, I think amounts of a quarter to half inch can be expected. This would lead to widespread travel problems, school and business closures, but minimal impacts to power lines and trees.Here are some model depictions.. first, total sleet for the event:0z/12z NAM:http://wxcaster4.com/nam/CONUS1_NAM212_SFC_ACCUM-SLEET_84HR.gif6z/18z GFS:http://wxcaster4.com/gfs/CONUS2_GFS0P5_SFC_ACCUM-SLEET_84HR.gifand here's the depiction for total freezing rain:0z/12z NAM:http://wxcaster4.com/nam/CONUS1_NAM212_SFC_ACCUM-FZRN_84HR.gif6z/18z GFS:http://wxcaster4.com/gfs/CONUS2_GFS0P5_SFC_ACCUM-FZRN_84HR.gif
The event should wind down Tuesday afternoon. Tuesday temperatures will likely not move much at all. Less than a 4 degree spread in the low and high is likely in many areas, especially southwest, central and northeast OK. The next shift will likely need to drop Tuesday a couple more degrees.GFS, NAM and old ECMWF showed a positively tilted long wave trough moving through by sunrise Wednesday. However, with the highly tilted trough, no precipitation is expected. Moisture should be robbed by the system which will be to our southeast. I suspect winds will go light southerly by day's end. ECMWF has had this trough passing Thursday morning the past two runs and has been discounted.A fairly strong front arrives Thursday morning. I have it through OKC at sunrise. It should bring strong north winds and falling temperatures. I have a suspicion by Thursday afternoon it will be in the 30s, and it may not get out of the 30s that morning, so the next shift will probably need to drop temperatures more. There is some indication in the pressure and wind fields that the cold air may be lagging behind the initial frontal passage. A second weaker long wave trough passes Thursday evening and I'm only giving it 20% pops, with 30% in northwest Oklahoma (light snow?).West winds and downsloping finally arrive Friday with a huge warm-up. I have gone above guidance on temps Thursday and Friday as history shows MOS has been under forecasting highs with such dry air in place. Granted the low levels will be slightly moister with a quarter to half inch of precipitation in the top soil, but some evaporation will have occurred with strong north winds the day before and scanty totals to begin with.Southwest wind returns on Saturday and I have kept my previous shift forecast of 63 for OKC. The past two days, GFS has erroneously left a remnant cut off low behind the long wave troughs as they passed. NWS model bias page says UKMET handles phasing of the northern and southern branches of the jet stream best. ECMWF does not have this low either so I am discarding any cloud cover or precipitation the GFS develops on Saturday, and going with a southwest wind and above guidance number temps.A front arrives Saturday evening. New GFS grids from IPS meteostar are trending to lower temperatures as I had yesterday.. looks like some 40s are in order for Sunday.Beyond the 7 Day, the GFS has been very consistent with a ridge overhead, sunshine and a south breeze for several days, with near record warmth. If this verifies and the moisture comes up, we could be looking at the first severe weather episode of the spring season around February 6th.
That's a big "if" though.OKC 23/46 27/32 25/30 24/41 34/40 21/56 30/63 32/49 30/63 34/68 41/73 50/75POPS: 80% Monday & Tuesday, 20%

Major Winter Storm To Impact Nation This Week

, Major ice storm possible over north central arkansas,
.cold air will remain over the state through much of this week.
Warm air will move over this cold air, with a classic ice storm
Scenario being set up over northern arkansas.
, winter storm watch in effect from monday afternoon through
Wednesday afternoon,
The national weather service in little rock has issued a winter
Storm watch, which is in effect from monday afternoon through
Wednesday afternoon.
Cold air will remain across the state through much of this
Week. Warm air will move over this cold air, and set the stage
For a major icing event. This will include areas in north central
Arkansas, mainly north of a line from fort smith, to
Clinton, to heber springs, to newport.
Precipitation will start out as a rain, sleet mix beginning
Monday afternoon, before changing over to a freezing rain and
Sleet mix monday evening. The upper level system will move across
The area tuesday, with freezing rain continuing.
As of now, ice accumulation totals appear to be significant,
With a major ice storm likely across north central arkansas.
Also, this will be a long duration event, only adding to the
Hazardous nature. Trees and power lines will likely become ice
Covered, leading to possible loss of power in north central
Arkansas.
This is a developing situation, and many factors will determine
Where the most significant icing occurs. The watch and possible
Warning area may change based on the eventual track of the storm.
Continue to monitor the latest forecasts from the national weather
Service.
A winter storm watch means there is a potential for significant
Snow, sleet, or ice accumulations that may impact travel. Residents
In the watch area should prepare winter storm conditions. Make
Sure your car is winterized and in good working order. Also make
Sure you have an adequate supply of food, water and the necessary
Medication to last through the duration of the winter storm.
, freezing rain possible monday night through wednesday along and
North of i-40,
A cold front along the northern gulf of mexico will move north as
A warm front tonight and stall out across the mid south monday
Night into tuesday. Increasing low level moisture along this front
Will result in precipitation developing late monday afternoon into
Monday evening across the mid south. Meanwhile, cold air will
Remain in place across areas mainly along and north of i-40 with
Low temperatures monday night at or slightly below freezing. As a
Result, some of the precipitation will change over to freezing
Rain especially across northwest tennessee. There is still some uncertainty
With the timing of the precipitation, temperatures when the
Precipitation occurs and the amount of precipitation expected.
Persons across the mid south should stay tuned to the latest
Information from the national weather service regarding this
Winter weather event.
, significant icing possible over northeast arkansas, the
Missouri bootheel and northwest tennessee monday night through
Tuesday,
.cold air at the surface will be in place across northeast
Arkansas, the missouri bootheel and northwest tennessee.
Precipitation will develop late monday afternoon across central
Arkansas and spread east over the midsouth. With temperatures at
The surface below freezing, rainfall that does occur will freeze
On contact.
, winter storm watch in effect from monday evening through
Tuesday afternoon,
The national weather service in memphis has issued a winter storm
Watch, which is in effect from monday evening through tuesday
Afternoon.
Surface temperatures will be at or below freezing monday evening
Through tuesday across northeast arkansas, the missouri bootheel
And northwest tennessee. Rain will develop by monday evening and
Will freeze on contact with exposed surfaces. Significant ice
Accumulations are possible beginning monday night through tuesday

A large cold canadian air mass will build over the region
Today and tonight. This airmass will continue to provide a conduit
Of surface sub freezing air into our region through wednesday.
Warm air above the sub freezing air and weather disturbances
Moving south of our region will set the stage for sleet and
Freezing rain over parts of eastern oklahoma and northwest
Arkansas monday afternoon through wednesday.
This situation often results in significant freezing rain or
Sleet for our area. Areas from about interstate 44 northwest are
Almost assured of a mixture of freezing rain and sleet. Places
South of a mcalester to fort smith line will be warm enough that
Significant freezing rain is less likely, at least through the
Day tuesday. However, even a slight change in the track of the
System could give even southeast sections periods of a wintry mix
As well.
At this time..it looks like the most likely area of significant
Ice accumulation will be near an okmulgee oklahoma to eureka
Springs arkansas axis. However, slight warming or cooling at
The surface will shift where the most significant freezing rain
Occurs.
A winter storm watch means a significant accumulation of ice or
Sleet is expected in the watch area.
Residents in the watch area should prepare for winter storm
Conditions. Make sure your car is winterized and in good working
Order. Also make sure you have an adequate supply of food, water
And the necessary medication to last through the duration of the
Winter storm.
Significant ice accumulation on trees and power lines may
Occur, which could cause power outages. Do not go near downed
Lines, Assume they are live and report any downed lines or power
Outages to your electric company.
