TULSA, Okla — A round of sleet today will move out this afternoon and evening. Even though amounts aren't as heavy as yesterday, any additional frozen precipitation on top of what we saw yesterday will keep road conditions potentially slick. Temps will hold in the mid 20s for highs.
We will get a break from the wintry weather tonight and most of the daytime hours Wednesday. However, a 3rd system approaches from the southwest Wednesday evening into Thursday morning with another round of wintry weather possible.
Freezing rain is the most likely form of precipitation with this 3rd system, but there is a question how far north the precipitation may reach. Very likely we'll see freezing rain near/south of I-40, with at least a chance up to about HWY 412 and Tulsa. North of 412, chances will be lowest with dry air dominating over northern parts of Green Country to the Kansas line. Ice accumulations may exceed a 1/4" in spots south of I-40 which is a concern. the morning drive Thursday morning will be slick in areas that do see freezing rain. We should warm above freezing Thursday afternoon.
Once this system departs, the melting will commence. Highs should easily reach the 40s again Friday with temps into the 50s this weekend, possibly pushing 60 on Sunday! There is light at the end of the winter tunnel!
