Expires 12:00 PM CST on February 13, 2012
Statement as of 4:21 am CST on February 12, 2012
... Winter Weather Advisory in effect from 6 PM this evening to
noon CST Monday...
The National Weather Service in Norman has issued a Winter
Weather Advisory for a mixture of snow... sleet... and freezing
rain... which is in effect from 6 PM this evening to noon CST
Monday.
* Timing: snow will move into western Oklahoma and western North
Texas late this afternoon... then spread eastward over the rest
of Oklahoma tonight. The snow is expected to mix with or change
to sleet and possibly light freezing rain after midnight.
Precipitation will end from west to east on Monday. With
temperatures expected to rise above freezing by early afternoon
Monday... any remaining precipitation thereafter will be rain.
* Snow and ice accumulations: widespread snow accumulations are
expected tonight and early Monday... averaging 2 inches or less.
Accumulations of ice due to light freezing rain or areas of
freezing drizzle will be very light. Some locations across
southern Oklahoma could see a few tenths of an inch of ice
accumulation before temperatures rise above freezing Monday.
* Main impact: roads... especially bridges and overpasses... may
become slick and hazardous due to the snow and sleet... and a
light glazing of ice will be possible due to freezing rain and
drizzle. Slick conditions will also be possible on untreated
sidewalks and parking lots.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
Be careful if you have to travel. Even small amounts of ice and
snow can make roads and sidewalks slick and dangerous.
