Temps and wind on Monday.

Only a slight chance for patchy ice this afternoon.

Future ice totals across the state.

Freezing rain/sleet will continue to develop across the state through the morning. This afternoon most of the precipitation pushes into eastern Oklahoma.

Future sleet totals in Oklahoma.

A second wave of precipitation arrives tonight and tomorrow morning. This could again cause slick roads at times. Highest ice totals will be in southeastern Oklahoma. Could see up to .5" in areas.

Power outages possible in certain parts of the state.

This could cause some power outages and tree damage. The biggest concern across most of the state with this event is sleet causing slick roads and freezing rain causing patchy black ice. We will remain below freezing until Wednesday afternoon, so pipe bursting temps are a concern.
