Jed's Weather Blog: Get Excited About Some Ugly Weather!

OKLAHOMA CITY -

Great news! Tomorrow will be a REALLY UGLY day! Not the typical response, but because we are so dry, most of us are pretty excited about precipitation chances. This storm will come out in two rounds: The first tomorrow morning and the second Thursday morning.

Rain and a winter mix will move into the state tonight. Winds will also begin increasing, too. The rain/winter mix line is expected to line up from Woodward to Stillwater. North of this line expect everything; from rain to freezing rain to sleet to snow! There may even be some accumulation before the rain sets in later in the day. I highly discourage travel into Kansas. It will get really tough in the Sunflower State as this winter storm unleashes lots of wicked weather!

It will turn out to be a raw, wet and windy Wednesday! The worst conditions will be in the northern part of the state.

The next round moves into Oklahoma as a line of storms impacting much of the state and a winter event in the panhandle area. The storm line could produce severe weather, but I doubt it will be widespread. Wind damage will be the primary threat.

By noon Thursday, the precip will end.

And I think most Oklahoman's will be happy with the amounts they receive! Again, great news!

    Tornadoes play a more significant role in the Great Plains of the United States than anywhere else on the planet, and Oklahoma is the epicenter. Let's have a look at some of the reasons why and when the peak of the tornado season arrives.

  • Spring is without question my favorite season of the year, but fall isn't too far behind.  Thankfully I'm not an allergy sufferer, or I suspect my choice would be different.
    Spring is without question my favorite season of the year, but fall isn't too far behind.  I suspect one of the big reasons I can say that is because I don't suffer from allergies the way many of you do. In my blog today I will take a closer look at what's causing problems and when it'll be over!
