AN UPPER-LEVEL DISTURBANCE OVER THE PACIFIC OCEAN WILL TRACK
INTO NORTHERN MEXICO TUESDAY MORNING AND THEN TURN NORTHEAST
ACROSS EASTERN OKLAHOMA TUESDAY NIGHT. A PERIOD OF SNOW IS
EXPECTED WITH THIS SYSTEM TUESDAY NIGHT AND EARLY WEDNESDAY.
SNOWFALL OF 1 TO 3 INCHES IS POSSIBLE. AT THIS TIME
NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA IS THE MOST LIKELY AREA TO RECEIVE THE HIGHER
AMOUNTS OF SNOW. HOWEVER THIS SYSTEM IS OUTSIDE THE U.S.
OBSERVATION NETWORK AND THIS LEADS TO EXTRA UNCERTAINTY ABOUT
THIS SYSTEM. SO CHANGES IN THE SNOW AMOUNTS AND PLACEMENT OF
THE SNOW WILL LIKELY OCCUR AS LATER INFORMATION BECOMES AVAILABLE.
A SECOND UPPER-LEVEL DISTURBANCE IS EXPECTED TO RACE ACROSS
THE AREA ON THURSDAY FROM THE NORTHWEST. THIS SYSTEM
WILL ALSO BRING A CHANCE OF SNOW TO THE AREA.
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANNING STATEMENT...
WHILE THE APPROACHING DISTURBANCES ARE NOT LIKELY TO BECOME
MAJOR STORMS...THEY COULD PRODUCE ACCUMULATING SNOWS.
EMERGENCY MANAGERS SHOULD FACTOR IN THE POSSIBILITY OF ADDITIONAL
SNOW AS THEY CONTINUE DEAL WITH THE AFTERMATH OF THE CHRISTMAS
EVE STORM.
