Despite Recent Rainfall, Burn Bans Still in Effect
Consecutive Hours Below Freezing
Today's Records and Climate
Forecast confidence continues to increase for winter storm impacts across our region this weekend as an Arctic air mass surges south from Canada. Increasing Gulf and Pacific moisture will support rain early Friday before quickly transitioning to a wintry mix by late Friday through Saturday and Saturday night.
You may see more posts on social media about possible winter weather next weekend. Some computer models support this, while other show just rain. Forecast uncertainty remains high, so use trusted sources and continue to monitor the latest forecast.
While some areas saw beneficial rainfall late last week, the lack of rainfall in the forecast through early next week means that burn bans remain in place for several counties and parishes across our Four-State Region.
A prolonged period of subfreezing temperatures is expected tonight, with temperatures below freezing for 12 hours or greater across portions of southeast Oklahoma and south Arkansas.
