.SHORT TERM...
(Today)
Issued at 349 AM CST Fri Jan 10 2025

Snow will taper off and end from west to east this morning and
early afternoon. Additional snow accumulation of an inch or two
will remain possible across northwest Arkansas and far eastern
Oklahoma, with only minor additional accumulation farther west.
Temperatures today will remain cold, but most places will get a
few degrees above freezing which will help start the melting
process.

We have received approximately 6 inches of snow officially here in
Tulsa, which is the heaviest snowfall from a single storm since
the record breaking snow of 14 inches on January 31st-February
1st of 2011.
