The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Norman, OK wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Mar 1, 11:27 AM CST, 33 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 1127 AM CST Fri Mar 1 2019 .AVIATION... Lingering low ceilings keep MVFR and IFR conditions across the forecast area. These low ceilings are expected to lift in the next few hours and result in widespread VFR conditions at all sites at 21Z. This should last until tomorrow morning, when the next surge of cold air will shift the winds out of the north and bring ceilings back down to MVFR conditions. Zwink && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 859 AM CST Fri Mar 1 2019/ UPDATE... Did a quick update to lower high temperatures, as much as 10 degrees in some locations, for today. Cloud cover and ice accumulations still around in some areas are expected to have an impact on the warm up again today. The low clouds continue across portions of the fa and spread back west overnight/early this morning. Satellite now shows mid level moisture and a layer of cloud cover spread north across the fa. Current thoughts are that at least portions of the fa will likely stay cloudy a good part of the day, if not all day hence lowering temperatures. Unlike yesterday with the temperatures not raising much in areas that stayed cloudy, temperatures are at least expected to warm some due to the loss of CAA. How much is the question. Overall, a tricky temperature forecast. New forecast highs still might not be low enough or if the clouds decrease more than expected then new highs may be too cool. Will continue to monitor trends and make adjustments if needed. PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 547 AM CST Fri Mar 1 2019/ AVIATION... Some freezing fog has developed over CSM early this morning, and will continue for a couple more hours. Elsewhere, expect MVFR to IFR cigs through late this morning and mid to high clouds replacing them by this afternoon. Winds will gradually become southeasterly throughout the day. MVFR cigs will likely return late tonight into Saturday morning, especially for TAF locations along and south of I-40. PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 451 AM CST Fri Mar 1 2019/ DISCUSSION... Some fog has developed on the eastern fringe of the stratus across western OK this morning, while additional stratus surges northward out of northwestern TX. Temperatures will remain fairly tricky today thanks to the shallow cold airmass in place and the aforementioned stratus. Decided to lean a lot closer to NAM12 temps and RAP13/HRRR stratus for today, which will keep high temps well below normal. By tonight still expect some stratus, especially near the Red River, and increasing mid to high clouds over most of the area. Surface winds will remain northerly throughout Saturday as a subtle cold front moves. Near early tomorrow morning, isentropic ascent should result in some drizzle developing across western north TX and portions of southern OK. This lift should maximize by mid day Saturday south of I-40 and west of I-35, and shift eastward overnight over SE OK. High chance PoPs of rain and drizzle are therefore expected across this area into early Sunday morning. Meanwhile, another modified arctic airmass will dive south across OK late Saturday night through Sunday morning, while a mid to upper level shortwave trough moves over the TX panhandle. Winter precipitation is expected to develop after midnight Saturday through Sunday with this feature. A quick round of moderate to perhaps heavy snowfall will accompany it over northern OK, while sleet and freezing rain develop further south over central OK. For now, will not issue any headlines as snowfall amounts should remain below 4 inches for most of northern OK. However, it is very likely a winter weather advisory will be issued later today or tonight for areas along and north of I-44. Ice accumulations should remain limited since temps will remain cold enough through the layer where the heaviest precip is expected. However, some sleet amounts south of the snow line Sunday (perhaps over central OK) could exceed one half to one inch if elevated convection develops. For now, decided not to include thunder in the grids but this will be watched closely in upcoming forecasts. Most of the precip should come to an end by mid day Sunday as the shortwave trough quickly exits the region. In addition to winter precipitation, very cold wind chills are expected both Sunday and Monday morning. Below zero wind chills will be common along and north of I-40 by Monday morning. A brief round of very light snowfall will also be possible Monday morning across portions of northwestern OK with a subtle mid level shortwave trough and just enough moisture present. Additional snowfall accumulation will most likely remain below an inch with this feature. Temps will remain below avg through at least Thu, if not Friday. Additional PoPs for rain, and maybe even thunderstorms, could be introduced Thu if confidence increases with regards to another shortwave trough traversing the region. Regardless, it appears another cold front will impact the area into day 8. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Some accumulations of the wintry precipitation is expected with the heaviest snow amounts expected in northern Oklahoma and ice accumulations of less than a tenth of an inch possible in some areas.
