EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
An Arctic cold front will push through the region late Friday night
into Saturday morning, ushering in a very cold air-mass. Isolated
thunderstorms will be possible ahead of the front Friday night, a
few of which could be strong across southeast Oklahoma with the
threat for hail.
The precipitation will transition from rain to a wintry mix to
snow as colder air filters into the area behind the arctic front.
Travel impacts will be possible with the potential for accumulating
snow greatest along and north of I-40. North winds will gust 30
to 40 mph behind the front. It is important to note that we are
still several days out and the details will continue to be refined
in the coming days. Stay tuned to the latest forecasts as we get
closer to the weekend.
In addition to the potential travel impact from accumulating snow,
dangerous wind chills are likely Saturday night into Sunday morning.
Wind chills in the single digits are expected as temperatures drop
into the teens across much of the area with north winds at 10 to
20 mph.
Another fast moving low pressure system will move into the Southern
Plains on Monday with strong and gusty south winds developing
during the day.
