WEATHER OVER FAR NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS…

THIS OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHWEST AND WEST CENTRAL ARKANSAS AS WELL AS
MUCH OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA.

.DAY ONE…THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT.

WINTER WEATHER.
SNOW ACCUMULATION.
RISK…LIMITED.
AREA…FAR NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.
ONSET…AFTER 11 PM.

DISCUSSION…
WIDESPREAD RAIN IS EXPECTED TO PUSH INTO EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND
NORTHWEST ARKANSAS THIS EVENING AS AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM APPROACHES THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. PRECIPITATION FOR MOST
LOCATIONS ACROSS THE REGION SHOULD REMAIN AS RAIN…THOUGH SNOW
AND OR SLEET WILL BE POSSIBLE TO MIX WITH THE RAIN AFTER 11 PM
ACROSS PORTIONS OF FAR NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.
ONLY MINOR ACCUMULATIONS OF SNOW AND OR SLEET AND LIMITED TRAVEL
IMPACTS ARE ANTICIPATED. SEE THE LATEST SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
/OKCSPSTSA/ FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT…
SPOTTER ACTIVATION NOT EXPECTED.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN…MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
MONDAY…WINTER WEATHER POTENTIAL.
TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY…NO HAZARDS.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION…
RAIN IS EXPECTED TO BE ONGOING ACROSS MOST OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND
NORTHWEST ARKANSAS MONDAY MORNING. SNOW AND OR SLEET MIXING WITH
RAIN WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO BE POSSIBLE ACROSS LOCATIONS ALONG AND
NEAR THE KANSAS AND MISSOURI BORDERS MONDAY MORNING. PRECIPITATION
IS EXPECTED TO BE ALL RAIN BY EARLY MONDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS THE
REGION. COLDER AIR ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE SYSTEM COULD ALLOW FOR
RAIN TO CHANGE BACK OVER TO LIGHT SNOW ACROSS PARTS OF NORTHEAST
OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS MONDAY NIGHT BEFORE THE
PRECIPITATION EXITS THE REGION.

ONCE THIS SYSTEM PUSHES OUT OF THE REGION…FAIRLY QUIET WEATHER
LOOKS TO BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE REST OF THE UPCOMING WEEK.
