Oklahoma schools closed, moving to remote learning Wednesday

ALERT WEATHER UPDATE. HERE WE GO RIGHT AT TOP OF THE NOON HOUR. METEOROLOGIST JONATHAN CONDER HERE WANT TO GIVE YOU A RADAR UPDATE. THE TREND HAS DEFINITELY BEEN DOWN, BUT I KIND OF WANT TO SEE HOW THE ROADS HAVE BEEN. THERE’S BEEN A LITTLE BIT OF DRIZZLE HERE AND THERE. YOU DON’T SEE MUCH ON OUR LIVE RADAR. AND I WAS TRACKING A LITTLE WAVE OF DRIZZLE THAT WAS TRYING TO REDEVELOP JUST WEST OF OKC. BUT I THINK IT’S REALLY STARTED TO DISSIPATE. SO LET’S CHECK OUT THE ROADS KIND OF LOOKS LIKE THE LHP JUST NORTH AND NORTHWEST HIGHWAY. METEOROLOGIST TAYLOR COX, YOU’VE BEEN OUT ALL MORNING LONG. HAVE YOU SEEN A LOT OF WRECKS WHERE YOU’RE AT? RIGHT NOW? HEY, JONATHAN. IN SOUTH OKC, WE DEFINITELY SAW THOSE WRECKS EARLIER, JUST ABOUT AN HOUR OR TWO AGO. BUT NOW WE ARE ON LAKE HEFNER PARKWAY, JUST SOUTH OF THE LAKE. AND ACTUALLY YOU CAN SEE IT ON THE LEFT SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN. AND THIS ROD LOOKS PRETTY DRY. I’VE ACTUALLY BEEN PRETTY IMPRESSED ABOUT HOW DRY THE HIGHWAYS ARE IN NORTH OKC, BUT IT’S STILL THOSE BACK ROADS. THE NEIGHBORHOOD ROADS, THE ON AND OFF RAMPS THAT YOU STILL NEED TO BE AWARE OF AS YOU HEAD HOME, AS YOU HEAD OUT FOR LUNCH TODAY. BACK TO YOU. VERY GOOD. SO THE WEST SIDE OF THE METRO AND DIDN’T GET AS MUCH OF THAT DRIZZLE AS THE SOUTH SIDE. SO GREAT REPORT. LOOKING WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT NOW. A LOT OF PEOPLE MIGHT NEED TO GET OUT NOW ON NOTICE ON THE RADAR HERE. THAT IS NOT RAIN. THAT’S GROUND CLUTTER. THERE’S OUR RADAR HERE AT THE STATION. YOU CAN’T CHANGE A THING ABOUT THAT. NOW, LET’S GO TO SOUTHWEST OKC. IT LOOKS LIKE JUST NORTH OF I TO 40, I’M GUESSING ABOUT WESTERN FIELD METEOROLOGIST MICHAEL ARMSTRONG MICHAEL, YOU’VE BEEN OUT ALL MORNING TOO. HOW ARE THE ROADS THAT PART OF TOWN? YEAH, WE’RE DOWN HERE ON THE SOUTH SIDE, JUST NORTH OF BY 240. AND, YOU KNOW, IT’S BEEN KIND OF SPOTTY HERE AND THERE. THIS SIDE ROADS, IF YOU LOOK, WE’RE ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS RIGHT NOW, JONATHAN, IN BETWEEN PENN AND WESTERN AND THEY’RE THEY’RE REALLY PRETTY GOOD. I MEAN, YOU GET EVEN PRETTY GOOD TRACTION IN THESE AREAS. BUT AGAIN, IT JUST KIND OF GOES TO SHOW THE SPOTTY NESS OF THIS. SOME AREAS ARE SLICKER THAN OTHERS. SO WE HAVEN’T SEEN ANY OTHER CRASHES SINCE THAT ONE THAT WAS INVOLVING THAT OHV UNIT THERE JUST A LITTLE BIT AGO. AND REALLY THE VOLUME OF OF CRASHES HAVE BEEN VERY, VERY LOW ALL MORNING LONG. SO THAT’S AT LEAST SOME GOOD SIGN. BUT THERE ARE STILL SOME AREAS TO WATCH OUT FOR. ALL RIGHT, MIKE, APPRECIATE THAT. AND I DON’T THINK WE CAN GET MUCH MORE REALLY HERE THIS AFTERNOON IN THIS EVENING. SO APPRECIATE THE VIEW FROM STORM COMMANDERS THERE, THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. I WANT TO GO OVER TO THE SHAWNEE AREA. KYLIE THOMAS IS THERE. KYLIE, IT’S LOOKING PRETTY CLEAR ON RADAR OVER YOU RIGHT NOW, BUT I FEEL LIKE POTTAWATTAMIE COUNTY HAD A LOT MORE OF THAT DRIZZLE HERE OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF HOURS. HOW ARE THE ROADS SHAPING UP WHERE YOU’RE AT? YEAH, HERE IN SHAWNEE, WE’RE JUST OFF THE KICKAPOO AND I-4, WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE STREETS ARE VERY MUCH STILL WET AND SLUSH. SHE VERY SLICK IN SOME SPOTS, SPECIFICALLY HERE ON THE TURNS. WE JUST BARELY SAW A CAR, ALMOST SPIN OUT HERE ON THE OFF RAMP OF I-40 WHERE ALL OF THAT SLUSH IS BUILDING UP. SO IF YOU’RE GOING TO GET OFF THE I-40 EXIT, YOU’RE GOING TO WANT TO BE CAREFUL. BUT THE DRIVE HERE ON I-40 WAS ACTUALLY PRETTY CLEAR. MOST OF THOSE ROADWAYS DIDN’T HAVE ANYTHING LEFT ON THEM EXCEPT FOR SOME STRIPS OF SLEET. BUT WE’VE SEEN SEVERAL ODOT CARS SANDING AND PLOWING THE ROADWAYS, TRYING TO MAKE SURE THOSE WHO DO HAVE TO GET ON THE INTERSTATES ARE SAFE AS THEY’RE TRAVELING TODAY. SO WE’LL STAY HERE AND REPORT AS WE GET SOME MORE SNOW. AND IF NOT, THEN WE’LL TAKE A GET BACK TO YOU. ALL RIGHT, KYLE. YEAH, LOOKING PRETTY GOOD. I MEAN, THERE’S AGAIN, NOT MUCH FALLING FROM THE SKY TO YOUR EYES. WE STILL HAVE POCKETS OF DRIZZLE, FREEZING DRIZZLE, FREEZING RAIN AND MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF SLEET, BUT I DON’T SEE MUCH MORE BACK BUILDING BACK TO THE WEST. SO AGAIN, OUT NEAR KATY AND WYNNEWOOD. SO THIS IS KIND OF THE TAIL END OF IT, AT LEAST FOR ACCUMULATING SHOWERS A LITTLE BIT IN YOUR CUSHING THIS MOVING TO THE NORTHEAST, LOOKING TO THE NORTH PONCA CITY YOU’RE NOW DRYING OUT. THIS IS GOOD. EVERYTHING IS REALLY WINDING DOWN. STILL HAVE SOME SIGNIFICANT ICING EAST OF DALLAS AND UP TOWARDS THE EYE AREA. SO TO TALK PROBABILITIES, THEY’RE A LOT LOWER NOW. LET’S GO TO THE MAPS. WESTERN OKLAHOMA, LOW CHANCE POCKETS OF DRIZZLE. HIGHER CHANCES, EASTERN OKLAHOMA. BUT WE’RE JUST TRENDING DOWN HERE THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THERE WON’T BE MUCH MORE ON RADAR HERE IN ABOUT AN HOUR. SO ADDITIONAL SLEET IF WE DON’T, WE’RE GOING TO GET MUCH MORE SNOW. CASEY WOULD JUST BE A GLAZING. IF WE SEE ANY MORE, BE MAYBE A QUARTER INCH OVER NEAR MCALLISTER WHEN IT COMES TO FREEZING RAIN. AGAIN, A GLAZE. NOT EVERYBODY GETS IT A LITTLE BIT MORE IN SOUTHIE, EASTERN OKLAHOMA. NOW THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES EXTENDED AND THE WINTER STORM WARNING. THAT’S UNTIL 6 A.M. ON THURSDAY. SO I WAS CALLING THIS ROUND NUMBER TWO. NOW, ROUND NUMBER THREE IS TOMORROW NIGHT. TEMPERATURES NOW WE’RE GETTING THERE SLOWLY. 20 IN OKC. 19 IS STILLWATER LOOKING OUTSIDE, REAL CLOUDY, WON’T SEE MUCH SUNLIGHT. SO WE’RE ONLY GOING TO GAIN A FEW MORE DEGREES. I’LL BRING US UP TO 20 TO 23 BY 5:00. I DON’T THINK WE’RE SEEING MUCH MELTING, BUT YOU CAN TELL WHERE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TREATING OUR CREWS HAVE BEEN TREATING THE ROADS. THEY’RE SLUSHY, THEY’RE NOT GLAZED, FROZEN OVER, WHICH IS GOOD. HIGHS IN THE TWENTIES TODAY. TEENS TONIGHT QUIET. AND THEN TOMORROW’S QUIET AND WE’RE NEAR FREEZING. SO WE’LL GET A LITTLE MELT. AND THEN TOMORROW AFTERNOON, MIXED SHOWERS COME UP ALONG THE RED, BUT THEY WON’T MAKE IT TO OKC PROBABLY TILL AFTER 6 P.M. AND THEN TOMORROW NIGHT WE GO TO HIGH CHANCES. OKAY, SO I’VE BEEN TALKING TO DAMON. HE WAS IN HERE THIS MORNING. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THIS. HOW MUCH ICE THIS IS THE FINAL ROUND WEDNESDAY EVENING. WIDESPREAD POTENTIAL, A QUARTER INCH OF SLEET, LOTS OF ICE PELLETS ON THE ROADS AND THEN ADDITIONAL YOU MAY SEE A QUARTER INCH OF EVEN SOME SOME FREEZING RAIN. SO THERE MIGHT BE SOME ELEVATED SURFACES THAT WOULD GET ICED UP AND MAYBE SOME TREES AND SOME BRIDGES. OKAY. THAT’S A FINAL ROUND. IT’S GOING BE PRETTY SLICK. THURSDAY MORNING, I PUT ON A SCALE LIKE 1 TO 5, TRYING TO FORECAST HOW THE CONDITIONS WILL AND HOW THEY’RE GOING TO BE. I PUT IT AT LEAST A THREE, BUT I DON’T THINK WE’RE AT FIVE WATCHING IT. SO IT ENDS BY THURSDAY MORNING AND THEN WE HAVE A THAW. WE GET INTO NEXT. WELL, THIS WEEKEND LOOKS AMAZING. AND NEXT WEEK STARTS OFF IN THE SIXTIES AND ANOTHER COLD FRONT, BUT NO ICE NEXT WEEK. OKAY. JUST LITTLE RAIN NEXT TUESDAY MORNING. AND AS YOUR LATEST 5+5 FIVE DAY FORECAST. RIGH
