NEXT!




If'n I was a dictator...wait, not big enough. If'n I was MASTER OF ALL TIME AND
SPACE, the first thing I'd do is all Eddie Money, all the time. Everybody gets
Two Tickets to Paradise. But the second thing I'd do is switch December and
January this winter. THIS is the weather we were supposed to have for the
Holidays, right? I mean, it hasn't snowed much, but at least it's cold. Our cold
front overnight is plodding its way through the state, bring its happiness
(glass half empty translation: sadness) and joy (misery) to all it touches. A
chance for some wintry precip this afternoon is something to watch. It only takes
a bit of freezing drizzle to have you saying hello to the ditch, or worse. Our
friends at the Tulsa NWS give us a look at this afternoon, but this extends down
into central OK as well. Not a big threat at all, just something to keep in mind.



Tomorrow is going to be bone-chilling, however, with strong north winds and
wind chills down to the zero mark. The Panhandle and far NW corner of the state
might have a bit of snow. Not enough for a Braum's alert for those folks, but
maybe a few slippery roads.









We'll warm back up in a couple of days, but we're gonna be faced with around
48 consecutive hours of below freezing weather. I know, not exactly February
2021 cold, but pretty significant nonetheless.
