TULSA, Okla. — We've got a lot to talk about, as a result our forecast discussion is longer than usual! Three rounds of precipitation during the work week that will give us rain, a wintry mix, and some snow with travel problems likely for some of us as well.
Round 1: We stay dry most of Monday, with an exception near/south of I-40 where some light rain and showers are possible into the afternoon. Rain may not arrive in Tulsa until Monday evening. Stays liquid, but may start to see a mix and/or light snow develop near the OK/KS line into Tuesday morning. This does not look heavy, but may cause some slick spots. Precipitation moves out Tuesday afternoon.
Round 2: Arrives early Wednesday morning. Tulsa and I-44 look to be borderline near freezing… freezing line and north will see freezing rain, sleet, and some snow. While it is still difficult to know where things will line up at the moment, travel problems will be likely in areas where temps stay at or below freezing. South of the freezing line is, expect a cold rain. Precipitation moves out Wednesday afternoon/evening.
Round 3: Data is now hinting we could see a quick moving system bring a round of light snow Thursday. Thursday’s system does not look like a big winter storm, but might be enough for minor accumulation if trends continue. We’ll keep you updated!
Valentine's Day looks dry and chilly, but yet another storm system looks to arrive Saturday bringing rain, and maybe a change to snow if enough cold air can push in before the precipitation moves out. This system is still a long way down the road however. We’ll keep monitoring.
Stay updated as we go through the week as some adjustments will likely be made as we get closer.
