The National Weather Service issued a SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT regarding the possibility of snow in the Tulsa area tomorrow.
Below, you may read the text of the statement:
ACCUMULATING SNOW STILL EXPECTED FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS TUESDAY NIGHT... AN UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM OVER THE GREAT BASIN TODAY WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS OKLAHOMA AND ARKANSAS LATE TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. MOISTURE WILL BE DRAWN NORTH INTO THE SYSTEM DURING THE DAY TUESDAY...AND THE LATEST DATA SUGGESTS THAT SURFACE TEMPERATURES SUPPORT JUST PLAIN RAIN DURING THE DAY TUESDAY. A CHANGE OVER TO SNOW IS FIRST EXPECTED DURING THE EVENING TO THE NORTH AND WEST OF TULSA AS COLDER AIR GRADUALLY WORKS ITS WAY EAST BENEATH THE UPPER SYSTEM AS IT MOVES OVERHEAD. THE RAIN WILL CHANGE OVER TO SNOW ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS AFTER MIDNIGHT TUESDAY NIGHT. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF BETWEEN 1 AND 3 INCHES ARE EXPECTED TO THE NORTHWEST OF TULSA AND ALSO OVER NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. MUCH OF THIS ACCUMULATION MAY BE CONFINED TO GRASSY AND ELEVATED SURFACES DUE TO THE MARGINAL AIR TEMPERATURE AND WARM GROUND. AN INCH OR LESS IS EXPECTED OUTSIDE OF THOSE AREAS. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN TOO WARM THROUGH THE EVENT ACROSS WEST CENTRAL ARKANSAS AND SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA TO SUPPORT ANY SNOW ACCUMULATION. STAY TUNED TO THE LATEST FORECASTS AND STATEMENTS FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN TULSA...AS THIS FORECAST WILL CONTINUE TO BE REFINED AS NEW DATA COMES IN.
