afternoon across parts of eastern Oklahoma... mainly along and
west of U.S. Highway 69. Precipitation has remained as rain thus
far across far eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas but will
gradually change over to snow by Sunday morning. Snow has
tapered off for the moment in some areas... however it will
begin to increase later this evening as a strong low pressure
system moves closer to the region. Thus another period of heavy
snow is likely across eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas
tonight and Sunday morning.
* A heavier band with accumulations of 8 to 14 inches still
appears likely over far northeastern Oklahoma and the northwest
corner of Arkansas through Sunday afternoon. Snow amounts of 3
to 6 inches will be common elsewhere. Areas of blowing snow with
reduced visibility will be common as well... especially in areas
to the north and west of Tulsa.
Impacts...
* travel has already become very hazardous across much of
northeast Oklahoma... and conditions are expected to deteriorate
elsewhere overnight. Power outages are likely in some areas due
to the accumulation of heavy wet snow on power lines combined
