***Winter Weather Alerts all across eastern Oklahoma and southeast Kansas from until tomorrow morning for accumulating snow and ice***
Snow will continue for areas along and north of HWY 412 this afternoon and evening. Along I-40 the changeover to snow is expected through the afternoon with a wintry mix change to snow this evening south of I-40. Travel is strongly discouraged and roads will be slick and snow/ice covered.
Snowfall amounts of 4" to 7" are likely in northeast parts of our forecast area with amounts less than 2" in southern portions of the region. In the Tulsa metro, a 2" to 5" snow total looks likely. The snow should exit the area by midnight Tuesday night.
Also, be ready for the dangerous bitter cold! Northeast 10-20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph will push wind chills well below zero into Wednesday morning with temperatures falling into the teens and single digits.
Record cold temperatures are likely with forecast record cold lows and highs Wednesday through Friday morning. Even Tulsa may drop below zero Thursday morning! Highs between 10° and 20° Wednesday and Thursday. Then upper 20s on Friday.
We should be finally above freezing by Saturday afternoon with highs near 40° and even 60s showing up NEXT week.
