.SHORT TERM...
(Through Sunday afternoon)
Issued at 1218 PM CST Sat Jan 24 2026

Precip has expanded from W TX through central OK early this
afternoon within a broad fetch of strengthening upglide. This
precip will continue eastward with deteriorating conditions across
E OK and NW AR through the afternoon. Precipitation shield will
further solidly this evening to our west as the primary wave axis
begins to track east. Precip coverage and intensity is expected
to increase area wide from late evening and continue overnight
before diminishing from west to east Sunday afternoon.

Precipitation type remains a challenge especially along and south
of Interstate 40. Substantial warm nose sampled in 12z RAOBS
across N TX and guidance favors the ongoing warm advection pattern
advecting this warmer layer northward into the overnight hours
all while the near sfc layer remains very cold. Expectation
remains predominate sleet through a corridor across SE OK through
late tonight with snow most likely from Interstate 40 northward.
Freezing rain and sleet mix remains the favored typed across
extreme SE OK where localized ice accumulations have already
produced some impacts to the power grid. A transition to all snow
is likely by early Sunday morning as the entire column cools with
the wave passage.

Heavy snow and sleet accumulations remain forecast especially
from Saturday evening through late Sunday morning with peak
intensities likely in the midnight to early morning hours.
Heaviest snows north of Interstate 40 and extending across all NE
OK into NW AR with localized 12 plus inch totals likely especially
into the higher terrain of NW AR. The snow sleet transition zone
will reduce overall totals where sleet is predominant however
treacherous travel will remain a hazard. Any additional icing
remains forecast to be light with a note that any more prolonged
icing would quickly become an issue if freezing rain dominates the
precip type across far SE OK.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday night through Saturday)
Issued at 1218 PM CST Sat Jan 24 2026

Snow tapers off across western AR by Sunday evening. The
widespread sleet and snow footprint will largely influence
temperatues through at least mid next week. Sunday night and
Monday night both offer potential for extremely cold overnight low
temps and dangerous wind chill values which could be life
threatening with any prolonged exposure. A slow moderation in
temperatures is forecast mid to late week but likely below normal
temps into next weekend.

minor improvement beginning toward the end of this fcst period.
