9. It is now 7:30 pm on Tuesday night. More than half an inch of ice has frozen on limbs, powerlines and elevated structures in much of northwest Oklahoma. Examine the most recent discussion products from the Storm Prediction Center and the Norman WFO.
- Will the ice storm continue in the upcoming hours?
Answer.
- Yes, both discussions are quite confident that precipitation will continue throughout most of the state. In areas with a cold-enough and deep-enough surface layer, the rain may freeze before hitting the ground (sleet or ice pellets).
The Bottom Line.
-
Again, nothing provides a better briefing about the range of possibilities than a forecast discussion.
