... Winter Storm Watch remains in effect from midnight CST tonight through Monday morning...
A Winter Storm Watch remains in effect from midnight CST tonight through Monday morning.
A combination of much colder air along with an upper level storm system tracking east out of The Four Corners region and southern rockies will bring chances for snow across the Oklahoma Panhandle and the northern Texas Panhandle late tonight through Monday morning. The heaviest snow accumulations are expected mainly Sunday afternoon through Monday morning when as much as six inches will be possible. In addition... northerly winds of 15 to 25 mph with higher gusts may cause areas of blowing snow which will result in reduced visibilities.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A Winter Storm Watch means there is a potential for significant snow... sleet... or ice accumulations that may impact travel. Continue to monitor the latest forecasts.
