VIDEO: 2015 Could Start With More Wintry Weather Across Oklahoma

After a cold front brought sleet and snow to parts of Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas over the weekend, National Weather Service forecasters say we’re in for another Arctic blast and wintry precipitation.

Starting Monday evening temperatures will fall into the teens and 20s, and breezes from the north will drop wind chills into the teens, to as low as 5 degrees below zero early Tuesday and Wednesday morning.

That front could produce a half-inch of light snow across parts of northwest Oklahoma Tuesday night into New Year’s Eve, but that’s not expected to accumulate except in the far northwestern corner of the state.

Starting New Year’s Day there’s a chance for widespread wintry precipitation as surface temperatures hover just above freezing. Whether we see freezing rain, snow or sleet all depends on how warm it gets.

By Friday afternoon that could change over to rain.
