Weather Synopsis...A strong winter storm will approach the region Friday, leading to widespread moderate to heavy snow over the weekend. Accumulating snows could begin as early as late Friday across western north Texas and southwest Oklahoma, then spread northeast. Portions of south-central and southeast Oklahoma, along with north Texas, will likely see a mixture of sleet and rain with the snow. Although the forecasted snow amounts will likely fluctuate as new date becomes available, we are fairly certain that this winter storm will have severe impacts on travel and commerce for portions of Oklahoma and western north Texas.
