Winter Weather Update-1/27/10





Updates and additional information continue to come in and I have attached the latest graphic products from the National Weather Service. Additional meetings and conference calls are scheduled for various points during the day today and I will provide information updates as necessary and available. Again, winter weather is difficult to track and specifically forecast, however, the consistency in available models and information we receive tends to indicate pretty much what we have been saying, at least at this point. There will likely be some modifications as the event and storm elements draw closer to the state.

Latest from the National Weather Service-

Mild weather will continue today, before a strong cold front and storm system approach from late tonight through early Friday. This storm will produce a mixture of heavy rain, ice, sleet, and snow over Oklahoma and western north Texas. Most of the precipitation will occur Thursday, which will be windy and much colder. Snow is expected in northern Oklahoma. Central and southern Oklahoma are expecting freezing rain and sleet before the snow. The precipitation will end Friday morning while the cold air will persist into Saturday. A warming trend begins on Monday.
