...POTENTIAL FOR A HIGH IMPACT WINTER STORM SUNDAY AND MONDAY...
A strong upper level storm system is expected to move across the
region Sunday into Monday, drawing moisture over a deepening and
very cold arctic air mass. As a result, several inches of snow is
expected, and can be heavy at times. The snow, combined with
gusty north winds will create a lot of blowing and drifting of
snow and dangerous travel conditions. In addition, there is some
potential for power outages as winds increase with ice on the
lines from the recent weather. It is still too early to get
specific regarding amounts and locations, but current indications
are that much if not all of eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas
will be impacted. We are still several days out, so the finer
details can change in the days ahead. Stay tuned to the latest
forecast updates.
