Status Quo For Now
No major update from our current thinking. However, freezing drizzle continues across the metro and although the roads are not frozen yet, once the sun begins to set around 5 p.m., look for bridges to glaze over. As we head into the evening hours, several roadways will ice over making travel slick and hazardous overnight.

Ominous Situation Developing
New computer model data is in, and it paints an ominous picture for much of central Oklahoma. The data suggests that a widespread freezing-rain event will unfold tonight through 6 a.m. Precipiation amounts will range from .25 of an inch of ice on the west side of the metro to a half inch on the east side, with up to an inch over parts of east central Oklahoma.
After the freezing rain transitions to snow, look for the highest snow totals to be confined across central Oklahoma with as much as a foot of snow expected. The reason for the change is that the upper low out west is digging a bit more south before coming right across southern Oklahoma. It is also slowing down a bit, which suggests snow lingering into our drivetime tomorrow afternoon. We will continue to monitor and update as necessary.

Models Indicate Even MORE Snow
Looking at the latest computer data from the models, the snowfall forecast continues to increase. Some models are saying as much as 8 to 12 inches of snow in the metro with over 20 inches in parts of north and northeast Oklahoma.
However, the models typically underestimate the layer of warm air in the atmosphere, which helps melt the snow into more of a sleet and freezing rain. We believe that will be the case for this event as well. Look for freezing drizzle and rain to continue through midnight with sleet mixing in around 3 a.m. with snow by 5 a.m. Heavy and blowing snow will continue through your morning rush hour into the early part of Thursday afternoon. We will continue to monitor new incoming data and adjust the forecast as necessary.
