RAIN AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO SPREAD ACROSS EASTERN

STORMS HAVE BECOME STRONG WITH SMALL HAIL AND BRIEF GUSTY WINDS. MOST
PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH THE APPROACHING UPPER LOW WILL
REMAIN IN LIQUID FORM INTO THE AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...COLDER AIR
WILL FILTER INTO PARTS OF NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND A CHANGEOVER TO
SNOW IS EXPECTED TO START OVER OSAGE AND PAWNEE COUNTIES DURING THE
MID AFTERNOON HOURS. THIS CHANGEOVER FROM RAIN TO SNOW WILL
CONTINUE TO SHIFT EASTWARD THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT ACROSS THE
REMAINDER OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA...WEST CENTRAL AND NORTHWEST
ARKANSAS.

GUSTY WINDS AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM IN THE 25 TO 35 MPH RANGE WILL
DEVELOP LATE THIS MORNING ACROSS EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST
ARKANSAS. STRONG GUSTY WINDS IN THE 40 TO NEAR 50 MPH RANGE ARE
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP NORTHWEST OF INTERSTATE 44 ON THE BACKSIDE OF
THE SYSTEM THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THESE STRONG WINDS WILL
CREATE AREAS OF BLOWING SNOW WITH REDUCED VISIBILITIES.

AT THIS TIME...THE FORECAST TRACK OF THE UPPER SYSTEM REMAINS
FAVORABLE FOR HIGHEST SNOWFALL AMOUNTS TO ACCUMULATE ACROSS PARTS
OF FAR NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA...MAINLY IN AREAS NORTH AND WEST OF
TULSA...AND IN PARTICULAR FAR NORTHWEST OSAGE COUNTY WHERE
10 TO 12 INCHES OF SNOW WILL BE POSSIBLE. LESSER AMOUNTS TO THE

WINTER STORM WARNINGS ARE EFFECTIVE THIS AFTERNOON FOR NORTHEAST
OKLAHOMA. SEE /OKCWSWTSA/ FOR THE LATEST DETAILS.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
PERSONS ALONG AND NORTH OF A SHAMROCK...VERA...NOWATA LINE SHOULD
PREPARE FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS WITH BLOWING AND DRIFTING
SNOW...ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTHWEST OSAGE COUNTY WHERE TRAVEL
IMPACTS WILL BE MOST FELT. CONDITIONS ACROSS THOSE AREAS WILL MAKE
TRAVEL EXTREMELY DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE. MAKE SURE ADEQUATE
SUPPLIES OF FOOD...WATER AND NECESSARY MEDICATIONS ARE ON HAND TO
LAST THROUGH THE DURATION OF THE WINTER STORM.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.
TUESDAY...WINTER WEATHER POTENTIAL...HIGH WIND POTENTIAL.
WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...NO HAZARDS.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
SNOW IS EXPECTED TO TAPER OFF TUESDAY MORNING FROM WEST TO EAST
AND END ACROSS NORTHWEST ARKANSAS DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS AS
THE SYSTEM EXITS OFF TO THE NORTHEAST. IN THE WAKE OF THIS
SYSTEM...COOLER BUT DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED FOR THE REST OF THE
WEEK...AND INTO NEXT WEEKEND.
