I spy a cold front.

Another interesting thing from WeatherBug... There's no ice. There's even a chance of a little snow with the morning round then the main event hits around 4pm tomorrow and it's nonstop snow. No sleet to be found ?? we are gonna get buried if we skip the ice

 

[BufordWX]

OUN has winter precipitation starting here by about 6-7 AM. Will be interesting to watch how things unfold upstream this evening.

Apparently Channel 9 in OKC mentioned thundersnow ?

It should be noted that warmth before a snowstorm is not unusual here. It also hit 70 before the February 2011(ironically around the same dates) blizzard which is the record here at 14 inches. This storm has some similarities tbh it also went and was a big blizzard up in the Midwest I believe

Same for our '94 Ice Storm. 70's or so day before.

@Brent HRRR is looking like a good time for us Tomorrow night.

 

[NWMSGuy]

What hour range is the HRRR pretty solid with forecasting?

 

[Brent]

Still showing a foot here. This is unbelievable. Heck I'd be happy with half that ?

 

[Mr. Golf]

Could someone post the 0z nam sleet and fzr map if they have it available?

Winter Storm Warning in Dallas... This much ice would be problematic and probably test the power again. On the positive unlike last February the entire state isn't going to be brutally cold so that may help but yeah this much ice is a problem either way

..WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 6 PM WEDNESDAY TO 6 PM CST
THURSDAY...

* WHAT...A transition from rain to freezing rain then to sleet and
snow. Total snow accumulations of up to two inches and ice
accumulations of two tenths to half an inch.

One thing I am interested in watching tomorrow is how the front is progressing. Right now most models show OKC and Tulsa getting below freezing by 12z-15z, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that actually happens a few hours earlier like around 09z. Last year played out similarly as the cold air filtered in several hours earlier then originally thought. This could mean earlier onset of freezing rain Wednesday morning.

Here we are at 09z and temperatures just hit 32 at OKC and about to go below freezing in Tulsa. Probably gonna get some freezing drizzle in spots through the morning.
