A Winter Weather Advisory has been posted for central and northern Oklahoma from 9pm tonight (Monday) through 9am Tuesday. Light freezing drizzle may cause limited ice accumulations on exposed objects. While impacts are expected to remain low, the morning commute in Oklahoma City may prove difficult, IF freezing precipitation should occur. Surface temperatures will be at or below freezing tonight and in the early morning hours. Light freezing drizzle/rain is expected in the advisory area.
Conditions will rapidly improve on Tuesday as surface temperatures warm above freezing. Impacts are not expected in southern Oklahoma where temperatures should be above freezing and also farther removed from the upper system.
As usual, winter weather, and particularly adverse winter weather, is more difficult to forecast and determine with as much advance warning and accuracy as Springtime severe weather. All personnel are strongly encouraged to monitor on-going weather conditions, forecasts and observations, and to make tentative plans to allow additional time for the Tuesday morning commute, should it be necessary.
The Oklahoma County Office of Emergency Management will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as necessary.
