National Weather Service, accumulating snow possible this week

From National Weather Service, Norman:

ACCUMULATING SNOW POSSIBLE THIS WEEK…

MULTIPLE STORM SYSTEMS WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION THIS WEEK AND
YIELD THE POSSIBILITY OF ACCUMULATING SNOW. THE FIRST SYSTEM WILL
AFFECT WESTERN NORTH TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA TUESDAY NIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY AS IT MOVES INTO THE REGION FROM SOUTHWEST TEXAS. AT
THIS TIME…IT APPEARS THAT PRECIPITATION WILL BEGIN ACROSS
WESTERN NORTH TEXAS AND SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA TUESDAY EVENING AND
SPREAD EAST AND NORTHEAST TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. THE
GREATEST CHANCES OF SNOW WILL EXIST FROM WESTERN NORTH
TEXAS…NORTHEAST THROUGH SOUTHERN AND NORTHERN OKLAHOMA.
PORTIONS OF SOUTH-CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA MAY ACTUALLY SEE
MORE OF A RAIN AND SNOW MIXTURE. ALTHOUGH MOST SNOW ACCUMULATIONS
WILL BE LIGHT…SOME LOCATIONS COULD RECEIVE A COUPLE OF INCHES
BEFORE THE SNOW ENDS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

ANOTHER QUICK MOVING STORM SYSTEM WILL APPROACH THE REGION FROM
THE CENTRAL ROCKIES ON THURSDAY. MOISTURE WILL BE LIMITED FOR THIS
SYSTEM…BUT LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS APPEAR POSSIBLE OVER
NORTHERN TEXAS AND THE SOUTHERN HALF OF OKLAHOMA.

EVEN THOUGH WE ARE EXPECTING SOME MORE SNOW…THE STORM SYSTEMS
THIS WEEK WILL PALE IN COMPARISON WITH THE BLIZZARD THAT JUST
AFFECTED THE REGION. WINDS WILL NOT BE NEAR AS STRONG AND THE SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE MUCH LESS.

From National Weather Service, Tulsa:

EXTENDED DISCUSSION…
AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE OVER THE PACIFIC OCEAN WILL TRACK INTO
NORTHERN MEXICO TUESDAY MORNING AND THEN TURN NORTHEAST ACROSS
EASTERN OKLAHOMA TUESDAY NIGHT. A PERIOD OF SNOW IS EXPECTED WITH
THIS SYSTEM TUESDAY NIGHT AND EARLY WEDNESDAY. SNOWFALL OF 1 TO 3
INCHES IS POSSIBLE. AT THIS TIME NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA IS THE MOST
LIKELY AREA TO RECEIVE THE HIGHER AMOUNTS OF SNOW. HOWEVER THIS
SYSTEM IS OUTSIDE THE U.S. OBSERVATION NETWORK AND THIS LEADS TO
EXTRA UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THIS SYSTEM. SO CHANGES IN THE SNOW
AMOUNTS AND PLACEMENT OF THE SNOW WILL LIKELY OCCUR AS LATER
INFORMATION BECOMES AVAILABLE.

A SECOND UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE IS EXPECTED TO RACE ACROSS THE
AREA ON THURSDAY FROM THE NORTHWEST. THIS SYSTEM WILL ALSO BRING A
CHANCE OF SNOW TO THE AREA.

From National Weather, Amarillo, Texas:

MOISTURE WILL QUICKLY BUILD DOWN TO THE SURFACE BY TUESDAY
MORNING. THICKNESS VALUES SHOW THAT THE AIR WILL BE COLD ENOUGH FOR
SNOW. AT THIS TIME…THE TRACK OF THE SYSTEM BRING LIGHT AMOUNTS OF
ONE HALF TO ONE INCH TO THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE TEXAS PANHANDLE.
AS USUAL…ANY SHIFT IN THE SYSTEM MOVEMENT WILL CHANGE THE LOCATION
OF SNOW AMOUNTS. ANOTHER MINOR SYSTEM FORMS ON THE HEELS OF THE FIRST
AND TRACK ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST TEXAS PANHANDLE WEDNESDAY. AMOUNTS
SHOULD BE LIGHT FROM THE SECOND DISTURBANCE.
