Should see some light snow bands develop across NW OK and sink to the SE this afternoon into this evening. No impacts expected except for maybe some temporary visibility issues with any moderate pockets.
The main show for this storm is going to be from Houston to New Orleans where they are expecting 4"+ of snow along the Gulf Coast. A very rare event that will surely produce some cool scenes of beaches covered in snow.
Wow, it got colder in Oklahoma than expected last night clear down to -17 in the panhandle. At my place it got to 1.6. At the rural Stillwater Mesonet it was 0. If I'm right, the official weather location for Stillwater is at the airport where it was a record breaking -2. Forecast low for Stillwater was 4.
It was as low -2 in Oklahoma County, according to Mesonet. For relief, it may get back to the low 50s on Friday.

I had one cold water pipe freeze up this morning that runs along an outside wall. But it thawed pretty quick on it's own. It is PEX so nothing burst. I think it got down to 5 where I am.
We had the same thing happen. Wasn’t expecting that cold of temps. A couple of our faucets lost water. Got them back with a space heater though. Seems like all is well.
Pattern change starts tomorrow with warmer temps and chances of rain next week starting Wednesday 1/29 through Friday 1/31. Watching the first week of February for another Arctic outbreak but nothing like what we just experienced and should moderate quickly.
Looking long-range, models are forecasting a classic southern plains winter storm around the last weekend of January. Will have to monitor that one.
The storm system Thursday into Friday is looking more impressive. Rain totals of 2-3” will be possible across most of the state with the highest totals in SE OK.
Expected rain totals keep dropping for central Oklahoma.
Really depends on what model you prefer this far out... GFS has gone lesser for west of I-35... NAM is still higher for OKC, moves the line to US-81, roughly. SE OK is modeled at nearly 6" on GFS but below 2" on NAM. The Canadian model uses I-44 as the dividing line...
So, per usual, it'll be a nowcast.![]()
Yea it isn't looking too great now. Looks like cold rain for E of I-44.
OKC looks to still get some action Wednesday night, but the real soaking will be SE.
