Power outages in western and southwestern Oklahoma are still significant as tree limbs and heavily weighted power lines an poles continue to be problematic. Outages are occurring in our area, although typically smaller and of shorter duration.
Although precipitation is still falling, there is some good news in two areas. One, we are moving more toward receiving sleet as opposed to freezing rain. Secondly, for some odd reason the “back edge” of the precipitation coming from north Texas has rapidly cut off, with at least a temporary reprieve in precipitation an estimated four hours from Oklahoma City (if it stays as it is). This will not be the end of precipitation as regeneration is anticipated, but it may represent a reduction in overall amounts. Meteorologists are still calling for sleet and/or freezing rain in our area through 10 PM tonight, followed by snow into at least mid-day tomorrow. Actual accumulations are uncertain, but still potentially two inches of ice/sleet and possibly up to eight inches of snow.
We are continuing to monitor the situation and will provide updates as necessary.
