The National Weather Service in Norman has issued a Blizzard
Warning... which is in effect from 7 am this morning to 1 PM CDT
Saturday.
Snow is forecast to begin falling over far northwest Oklahoma
early this morning. Snow will spread southeast and become heavy
at times during the day. Total snow accumulations are expected to
exceed 6 inches in most areas... with amounts of 12 inches or more
possible... especially over far northwest Oklahoma. Very strong
winds will cause blizzard conditions at times through early
Saturday. This will cause near white-out conditions which will
make travel very dangerous.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A Blizzard Warning means severe winter weather conditions are
expected or occurring. Falling and blowing snow with strong winds
and poor visibilities are likely. This will lead to whiteout
conditions... making travel extremely dangerous. If you must
travel... have a winter survival kit with you. If you get
stranded... stay with your vehicle.
