Latest from the National Weather Service




Latest from the National Weather Service-

I have attached several graphic products representing the predicted conditions for tonight and into CHRISTmas Eve. Please remember to plan ahead and to check local weather conditions before traveling, including your destination and points in between. If traveling into areas with colder temperatures and the possibility of freezing precipitation, it is wise to take additional clothing, coats or a blanket in case the unexpected should occur. A roadside safety kit including flashlight, gloves, warm hat and footwear, bottled water, high protein snack foods, some type of “traction aiding” material such as sand or cat litter, etc. should be taken with you.

Mild weather will persist today southeast of the interstate 44 corridor... while cooler temperatures will prevail over northwest Oklahoma. Scattered thunderstorms will affect southern and eastern Oklahoma. A few areas of light freezing drizzle may also occur over far northwest Oklahoma...but temperatures will warm a few degrees by mid morning. This afternoon... severe storms will be possible over part of southeast Oklahoma. From late today into Thursday, the colder air will spread southward causing a change to snow. Accumulating snow, with areas of blowing/drifting snow, are most likely to affect parts of northern and central Oklahoma. As the storm begins to shift to the east on Christmas Eve, blustery north winds will bring in the coldest air yet this season.

Looks like we may have a white CHRISTmas!
