.NEAR TERM...
(Through Sunday)
Issued at 1220 AM CST Sun Jan 25 2026

We`re finally coming to the tail end of the snowfall. Overnight
snowfall continues to be driven by warm air advection, followed by
one last synoptically driven band Sunday morning as the upper wave
moves through. There remains a low chance for some lingering
flurries into the afternoon, but most of the accumulating snow
should be done by noon.

As for amounts, we`re looking at another 2 to 5 inches of snow,
mainly along an Altus to Stillwater line, with the highest totals
expected in central / north central Oklahoma. That said, deformation
banding + high SLRs could result in some locally higher amounts.
Sleet continues in south central Oklahoma, though that should
gradually transition to snow over the next several hours.

The extreme cold continues as well (unfortunately, that will persist
for a while longer). This morning we will again see wind chills in
the -5 to -20 degree range, with highs confined to the teens.

.SHORT TERM...
(Sunday night through Tuesday night)
Issued at 1220 AM CST Sun Jan 25 2026

A second wave moves through Monday morning which may result in a few
flurries in northwest Oklahoma.

More significantly, the dangerously cold wind chills continue, with
minimum values ranging from -5 to -15 degrees. Afternoon highs will
remain well below freezing (in the 20s), given snowpack and a
persistent cold air mass, despite sunny skies.

Tuesday morning lows will be in the single digits to lower teens,
with wind chills ranging from -5 to -10 degrees.

By Tuesday afternoon we may see highs start to come above freezing
(though snowpack adds some uncertainty here).

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday through Saturday)
Issued at 1220 AM CST Sun Jan 25 2026

Temperatures will remain below normal with highs in the 30s and 40s
and lows in the teens mid to late week. An upper low over the
northeast CONUS will bring another wave through next weekend.
Currently, this appears to be a glancing blow bringing slightly
cooler temperatures and low chances for light snow, but there is
still a decent amount of spread in the ensemble solutions. Beyond
that, ensembles show a gradual warming trend into next week.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 456 AM CST Sun Jan 25 2026

A final band of snow with IFR/LIFR visibilities is near I-44
currently and moving eastward. Behind it, conditions are improving
with MVFR ceilings trending toward IFR throughout the morning.
There is some potential for blowing snow to reduce visibilities as
winds increase out of the north during the day. Winds should
reduce and skies should begin to clear out after sunset.
