Areas affected...Portions of West Texas into central Oklahoma

Concerning...Winter mixed precipitation

Valid 241634Z - 242030Z

SUMMARY...An expanding area of mostly sleet will continue northeast
through the afternoon.

DISCUSSION...An area of showery precipitation continues to expand
from West Texas into southwest Oklahoma this morning. The
precipitation coverage is already more expansive than shown by any
12Z guidance and it continues to expand. This area of showers is
mostly sleet thus far, but KTLX CC and the 12Z OUN RAOB would imply
it will become mostly snow as it approaches I-40 across central
Oklahoma.

Sleet accumulation of 0.1 to 0.2 inches per hour and snowfall
accumulation of 0.5 to 1 inch per hour are possible within the
heavier showers/bands from Northwest Texas into central Oklahoma
through mid-afternoon.

Expect this area of precipitation to weaken as it moves farther
northeast during the afternoon. This will likely result in more
scattered precipitation coverage across this region for a few hours
during the late afternoon before precipitation rapidly expands this
evening ahead of the approaching main trough.
