Cleon is Here: The Winter Weather Latest Maps
Fri, 06 Dec 2013 05:47:18 CST
Winter Storm Cleon continues to bring an early dose of winter to much of Oklahoma. That includes a swath of southwest Oklahoma up to the edge of the Oklahoma City metro that has already received four to six inches of snow- based on the map above. This map comes from the National Weather Service office in Norman- and does not reflect eastern Oklahoma which has also seen snow in the northeast and northcentral- and lots of ice in the southeast.
According the Oklahoma Highway patrol- the three Oklahoma Panhandle counties have "received some snowfall, roadways are reported to be mostly clear. Roadways could be considered to be slick in spots. Be sure to pay attention to bridges."
According to the daily blog put out by Alan Crone of the News on 6 in Tulsa- the opposite corner from the Panhandle is getting iced- badly. "Far southeastern OK, west Ark, and NE Texas are experiencing a major ice storm. Damage to the power grid with loss of power is expected across extreme southeastern OK."
Crone adds "The 2nd wave of this three wave system is over central and eastern OK at this hour and is producing snow across the I-44 corridor. Some sleet is still possible near the I-40 area with freezing rain the primary precip mode across far southeastern OK. Very little snow has occurred across southern Kansas but a few locations have received a dusting. A short term winter weather advisory has been issued for far southeastern Kansas.
"The short term data suggest this band of snow will continue from southwestern OK into the northeastern part of the state with moderate snowfall southeast of the I-44 corridor."
