The precipitation will eventually change to all light snow
across much of the area except far southeast Oklahoma and
west-central Arkansas. The precipitation will end by late
afternoon from west to east as the upper level disturbance
exits the region. Snowfall totals are expected to be in
the 1 to 3 inch range across much of northeast Oklahoma and
northwest Arkansas with locally higher amounts across Osage,
Pawnee and Washington Counties in northeast Oklahoma. There will
also be light ice and sleet accumulations as well. These snow
and ice accumulations will likely make untreated roadways slick.

Gusty north-northwest winds this morning will create wind chill
values in the single digits to teens across northeast Oklahoma.
