Oklahoma is bracing for another winter storm as an arctic blast is set to bring several inches of snow and icy road conditions. The latest snow projections indicate that areas from Ponca City to Tulsa could see 5 to 10 inches of snow, while Enid and Stillwater are expected to receive 3 to 5 inches. Some parts of the state may only see a dusting to 1 inch of snow. Freezing drizzle is expected early Tuesday morning before turning into snow in the afternoon, with heavier accumulation in northern Oklahoma.
The areas under a winter storm warning will likely see more snow than those under a winter weather advisory. Various state agencies, including the Oklahoma National Guard, are mobilizing resources to protect public safety and maintain essential services. Road clearing, treatment, and maintenance efforts are underway, with crews pre-treating roads and highways. In addition to the snow and ice, extreme cold temperatures are expected to follow, with wind chills reaching -15 to -25.
Schools and universities have announced closures and transitions to virtual learning due to the anticipated weather conditions. Public safety reminders and safety tips for motorists have been issued, urging drivers to avoid unnecessary travel and exercise caution on roadways. A list of overnight shelters is available for those in need during the cold temperatures. Residents are advised to stay updated on weather alerts and to take necessary precautions.
