HOLLIDAY...LAKESIDE CITY...HENRIETTA 927 PM CST WED NOV 20 2013 ...MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES AND WINTRY PRECIPITATION EXPECTED ACROSS OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN NORTH TEXAS... A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA THURSDAY AFTERNOON...AND QUICKLY PUSH SOUTH ACROSS THE REST OF OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN NORTH TEXAS THURSDAY NIGHT. STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS WILL BE SEEN FOLLOWING THE FRONT AND LAST THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. FREEZING RAIN APPEARS LIKELY BEHIND THE FRONT...BEGINNING THURSDAY EVENING ACROSS FAR NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA...AND FARTHER SOUTH TOWARD THE INTERSTATE-44 CORRIDOR FRIDAY MORNING. A MIXTURE OF SLEET AND LIGHT SNOW WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE ACROSS FAR WESTERN PARTS OF OKLAHOMA. ALTHOUGH THERE IS A LIKELIHOOD FOR BRIEF PERIODS OF FREEZING RAIN...IT IS STILL DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE EXACTLY HOW MUCH ICE ACCUMULATION MAY OCCUR AND WHERE THE HEAVIEST AMOUNTS WILL BE. WE CURRENTLY BELIEVE THAT MOST ICE ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE AROUND ONE-TENTH OF AN INCH OR LESS. WHERE ICE DOES ACCUMULATE...IT WILL BE CONFINED TO ELEVATED SURFACES SUCH AS BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES... TREES...CARS...AND POWERLINES. SINCE MANY TREES STILL HAVE MOST OF THEIR LEAVES...THE STRONG WIND AND WEIGHT OF ANY ICE WILL INCREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR DOWNED LIMBS. THESE DOWNED LIMBS COULD RESULT IN SPORADIC POWER OUTAGES. IN ADDITION TO THE WINTRY PRECIPITATION...WIND CHILLS IN THE TEENS AND 20S ARE EXPECTED BEHIND THE FRONT THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING. BE SURE TO MONITOR THE FORECAST. YOU CAN STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE LATEST FORECAST BY VISITING OUR WEBSITE...LISTENING TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO...OR BY FOLLOWING NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN ON FACEBOOK AND TWITTER. $$ This weather bulletin was brought to you by BlackwellSkywarn Website.
