Winter Storm and Blizzard Warnings issued for central and western OK

The anticipated winter storm is beginning to take shape.  The National Weather Service has issued a couple new warnings.  A Winter Storm Warning in effect for several counties in central Oklahoma from midnight on Monday to 6:00 a.m. on Tuesday.  The other is a Blizzard Warning for several counties in western Oklahoma, in effect from 6:00 p.m. today (Sunday) to 6:00 a.m. on Tuesday.

For a few other counties in Oklahoma, a Winter Storm Watch is in effect from Sunday to Monday night.

For now, Tulsa is not included in any of the watches or warnings.  However, I expect this to change tomorrow and as the system moves to the east.

This is shaping up to be a dangerous and life threatening storm.  Residents in the affected areas should avoid travel and be prepared for power outages.

I’ll post more on this storm as information becomes available.
