	Winter Weather Advisory
Statement as of 4:32 AM CST on November 15, 2009 ... Winter Weather Advisory in effect until 6 am CST Monday... The National Weather Service in Amarillo has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for snow... which is in effect until 6 am CST Monday for the Oklahoma Panhandle. The Winter Storm Watch is no longer in effect. A combination of much colder air along with an upper level storm system tracking east out of The Four Corners region east into southern Kansas today through Monday will bring chances for snow across the Oklahoma Panhandle mainly later today through tonight. Snowfall accumulations through Monday morning are expected to range from one to three inches across the central and eastern Oklahoma Panhandle to up to six inches across the western Oklahoma. Precautionary/preparedness actions... A Winter Weather Advisory means that periods of snow... sleet... or freezing rain will cause travel difficulties. Be prepared for slippery roads and limited visibilities... and use caution while driving. Roads... bridges... and overpasses in the advisory area may become slick and hazardous. Accumulation of snow on roadways... bridges and overpasses may make travel treacherous. Exercise caution if travel is necessary. Schneider/sjohnson

Mainly snow... though periods of a wintry mix of rain and snow are expected. Affected area... The Oklahoma Panhandle will have the largest accumulations and biggest impacts. Across the Texas Panhandle... periods of snow are possible... but little to no accumulations are expected. Forecast timing of the event... Mostly rain is expected through the day on today... with the exception of the far western Oklahoma Panhandle. By early this evening... snow is expected across the western Oklahoma and northwestern Texas panhandles. By midnight Sunday night... much of the region... with the exception of the far southeastern Texas Panhandle... will see mainly snow. The snow should Switch Back to rain Monday morning. The precipitation will end from southeast to northwest starting early Monday morning. Potential impacts... Snow accumulations of 1 to 6 inches are possible in the Oklahoma Panhandle. Across Texas Panhandle... any snow accumulations should be less than an inch. Across the region... northerly winds of 10 to 20 mph with higher gusts will be possible today through Monday afternoon. Roads could become snow packed across the Oklahoma Panhandle this evening through Monday morning. Across the region... including locations with light snow accumulations... strong northerly winds could lead to reduced visibilities due to blowing snow this evening through Monday morning. Some melting of the snow is possible by Monday afternoon as temperatures rise above freezing. Discussion... The surface cold front is still expected to arrive in the Oklahoma Panhandle by this morning... and in the southern Texas Panhandle by mid afternoon on Sunday. The upper level low is now expected to track across the central Texas Panhandle Sunday night... this is further north than previously expected. Therefore... lower snow accumulations are expected than previous forecasts. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect through Monday for the Oklahoma Panhandle.
