Things are pretty quiet early on this Wednesday all across the Nation’s midsection, but by this time tomorrow we will see the radar start to “light up” over the southern Plains as a crippling winter storm gets underway. Daybreak tomorrow will find snow in the northern Texas panhandle and rain further south, but already by midday there will be moderate to heavy snow falling throughout the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles as well as northwestern Oklahoma. Southeast of there we will see a band of freezing rain from the southeastern Texas panhandle northeastward into northeastern Oklahoma. By evening, things will likely not be a lot different. Friday morning will find snow continuing to fall over far southern Kansas southward through the panhandles and much of Oklahoma, as well as in northern Arkansas and southern Missouri. Freezing rain still will be falling in far southeastern Oklahoma and extending eastward into parts of Arkansas and Tennessee. Late Friday finds the precipitation gone in the Plains, but snow in the northern Delta, a narrow band of mixed precipitation south of there, and heavy rain further south. By Saturday morning the storm will be blanketing North Carolina and Virginia with snow, and rain in the Southeast. Wintry precipitation totals from this storm will be very big. As a general rule, six to twelve inches of snow will fall over far southern Kansas, eastern New Mexico, all of the panhandles of Texas and Oklahoma, and all of the rest of Oklahoma except for the far southeast part of the state. However, for the northern Texas panhandle through western Oklahoma, snowfall amounts of 18-24 inches will be more common. Four to eight inches of snow is likely for the northern Delta. Big ice accumulations from the storm look likely for the southeastern Texas panhandle northeastward across central Oklahoma and into northwestern Arkansas. The winter wheat crop in that region will benefit from this moisture, but it will be a storm that will paralyze transportation, cause widespread power outages, and stress cattle in the big feedlot operations located in this area. The Midwest will miss out on the bulk of the precipitation from this storm, with cold weather there the bigger story over the next five days with temperatures running 10-15 degrees below normal.
