Even if precipitation is all snow, would we expect accumulations? Current ground temperatures around the OKC metro are above freezing, so snow accumulations if any would likely be on elevated and cold surfaces only unless rates are heavy enough, which seems unlikely at the moment. #okwx

As such, model trends and observations will be key over the next 24 hours to deduce what potential impacts there may be. Depending on the factors at play, precipitation could start off as a light freezing rain before changing to a wet snow as the day goes on. #okwx

The ~800mb warm nose is projected to become a battleground over south central Oklahoma, with small movements north or south having impacts on what precip. type is seen. As the morning goes on, this warm nose will cool so that most of the lower atmosphere will be below freezing. #okwx

However, two issues that may dictate precipitation type are apparent with near surface temperatures at or above freezing and a warm nose between 700 and 850mb. Guidance has trended warmer with surface temperatures, but recent cold air shots have kept daytime highs colder. #okwx

Forecast soundings over north Cleveland County for tomorrow morning have some spread in low-level moisture, with the RDPS and HRRR containing more moisture and generally trending up as well. The DGZ does look well saturated in all three mesoscale models with lift in the region. #okwx

Yes! Looks very similar off of Superior and Michigan. Unfortunately can’t see off Huron here.

Interesting to hear, thank you! I was thinking that last night as well if this is something that could become more common or not.

These are supposed to be GIFs but don’t seem to be working on the app (at least for me so far). They should work on the website!
