A high-impact winter storm is becoming likely on Friday and into the weekend. Here is a look at the timeline of precipitation and associated impacts.

Accumulating snow is likely across much of Oklahoma and western-north Texas this weekend. A corridor of higher snowfall amounts may also set up across central Oklahoma, though this area is subject to change. Additionally, at least of glaze of ice is possible across central and southern Oklahoma and into western-north Texas, with the highest chances near and south of the Red River.

Snow is most likely te precipitation type for northern Oklahoma Friday with the remainder of the area has the potential for a wintry mix (rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow). Snow will start to become the predominant precipitation type by Saturday and Saturday night across Oklahoma with a potential for wintry mix (freezing rain, sleet, snow) to continue to linger across portions of southern Oklahoma and into western north Texas.

Much colder air is expected to move into the area behind a front on Friday. This colder air along with breezy winds could lead to dangerously cold wind chills through the weekend and into early next week. Some locations may go at least 48 hours without the actual air temperature climbing above freezing, especially across northern Oklahoma.
