Light Snowfall Possible For Southwest Oklahoma This Thursday

Another round of wintry precipitation is headed for Oklahoma this Thursday. It will come on the tail of a second cold air mass that's expected to move in Wednesday evening. It's looking like southwest Oklahoma will be the ones impacted by the next round of wintry precipitation.

Early Monday morning, portions of northern, central and northeast Oklahoma were impacted by wintry precipitation after a blast of arctic air Sunday. These areas saw near-invisible ice accumulate on bridges and elevated surfaces.

The Oklahoma High Patrol responded to over 300 accidents due to the wintry precipitation from midnight to 9 a.m. Monday.

Light snowfall is expected across southwest Oklahoma this Thursday.

Icy conditions aren't expected with the second round of wintry precipitation on Thursday, but all Oklahoma residents know that can change quickly. As of Tuesday, local meteorologists are only expecting light snowfall with the possibility of a wintry mix, particularly for those in far southern Oklahoma.

According to KFOR Chief Meteorologist Mike Morgan, some areas in southwest Oklahoma may see some accumulation from the light snowfall, including Elk City, Hobart, Lawton, Altus, Chickasha and the surrounding areas.
