Severe weather is possible this week! Stay weather aware and tune in daily for updates from NWS or local media. Now is the time to prepare for severe weather. #okwx #WXprep #ReadyOK

Elevated to near critical fire weather conditions will be expected Tuesday afternoon across much of the area. With vegetation already very dry across the entire area, make sure you are doing your part to prevent fires from starting! #okwx #txwx

Fire weather danger continues today across Oklahoma and north Texas with the worst conditions late morning into the afternoon. A cold front will gradually shift the winds from the west to the northwest and to the north this afternoon and evening as it moves south. #okwx #texomawx

With fire weather conditions continuing today, it is important to practice wildfire safety as all it takes is one spark to cause a wildfire. Here’s some important information on what causes wildfires: #okwx #texomawx

Elevated to near critical fire weather conditions are expected Monday afternoon as temperatures rise into the upper 70s to low 80s °F with breezy winds. The worst fire weather conditions will be across northwest Oklahoma, where the lowest humidity is forecast. #okwx #texomawx

For those of you who have had enough of winter the past couple weeks (raises hand 🙋‍♂️), much warmer temperatures are on the way! Highs in the 60s and 70s are in the forecast for much of the area, which will be up to 20 degrees above normal for this time of year. #okwx #txwx

Friendly reminder to heat your home safely to prevent an accidental fire! ✅ Keep things that can burn 3+ feet from heat sources 🔌 Plug space heaters directly into outlets ❌ Never use your oven to heat your home 💤 Turn off heating sources when you leave the room or go to sleep #FireSafety @MEM_Fire @CityOfMemphis

Temperatures are expected to drop below freezing again tonight (they already have in much of northern and western OK). This means any liquid left from yesterday's melting will refreeze. Be careful this morning and watch out for black ice. #okwx #texomawx

We didn't get any new snow last night, but secondary/rural roads that didn't get fully cleared yesterday have refrozen overnight. Give yourself extra time today and remember to always leave extra distance between yourself and other vehicles on icy roads.

Greatest snow accumulations (>6") expected across north/central OK. These snow totals include sleet accumulations of up to 2" across portions of south central/S OK & western N TX. Greatest chances for ice is expected from western N TX into S OK with a corridor of 0.25" possible.

A strong cold front Fri will bring cold arctic air to OK/TX through early next week. Breezy winds will make way for dangerously cold wind chills Sat through Mon morning. Some areas may not rise above freezing for at least 48 hours. Protect the 4 Ps! #txwx #okwx

Chance for >1" of snow across the area is high (>70%). A corridor of higher probs for greater snow amounts may set up across central OK and may be subject to change with the evolution of the system. The highest chances for a glaze of ice will be across S OK and into western N TX.

Continuing to see a potential for an impactful winter weather event Fri-Sun. The main takeaway is hazardous travel conditions are likely for portions of OK & N TX. Wintry mix will be possible Fri, especially S of I-40, before snow becomes the more likely precip type. #txwx #okwx

Fire weather conditions are expected across much of the area on Friday. Strong, northerly winds and low humidity will combine with dry vegetation to create conditions favorable for wildfire ignitions and spread. Be sure to practice wildfire prevention! #okwx #txwx

Colder weather arrives tonight into Thursday with a chance of a wintry mix, including freezing drizzle. Precipitation will be light, but it doesn't take a lot to cause slick roads. Be sure to check the weather conditions Thursday morning before you head out! #okwx #texomawx

Colder air will continue to move into the area tonight with lows in the 30s and 40s expected. Strong northerly winds will make it feel much colder, with wind chills in the 20s and 30s. Bundle up tomorrow morning! #okwx #texomawx

Next weather system comes through Tuesday bringing a strong cold front during the morning hours. Windy behind the front with north winds gusting 30-40 mph. Rain chances increase with the front with higher chances north & east where a thunderstorms are possible. #okwx #texomawx

🍃Already seeing winds increasing this morning with gusts up to 40mph, especially across N/central OK. The cold front has entered NW OK and will be into N TX by late this evening. Expect breezy NW winds with gusts up to 30-40mph possible immediately behind the front. #okwx #txwx

The chance for showers and thunderstorms increases late Thursday and continues through Saturday with the potential for several rounds of rain. Heavy rainfall with a risk for flooding and some severe weather are possible. #okwx #texomawx

Our next storm system will be coming off the Pacific across the Southwestern U.S. reaching the Southern Plains late in the week. Chances are highest Thursday night when the main system is coming through which will push our next cold front through late Friday. #okwx #texomawx
