   Areas affected...Northwest Texas into western Oklahoma and southern
   Kansas

   Concerning...Freezing rain 

   Valid 271805Z - 272200Z

   SUMMARY...Scattered freezing rain will persist into the afternoon
   hours from northwest Texas into western/central Oklahoma and parts
   of southern Kansas, but a gradual decrease in precipitation coverage
   is expected heading into the late afternoon hours.

   DISCUSSION...Temperatures across central Oklahoma have warmed
   through the late morning hours to at or just above freezing roughly
   along and east of the I-44 corridor. To the west of this line,
   sub-freezing temperatures continue to support freezing rain as
   precipitation persists along the low/mid-level warm frontal zone
   from northwest TX into southern KS. Although this band of
   precipitation is expected to continue through the early/mid
   afternoon hours, gradual frontolysis may lead to increasingly
   scattered areas of freezing rain by 22-00 UTC. Warming within the
   lowest 1 km of the layer will limit the sleet potential to some
   degree, though an occasional mix of sleet and freezing rain will
   continue to be possible. 

   Freezing rain accumulation will continue to be most likely across
   northwest TX into western OK where temperatures will remain below
   freezing. The duration and coverage of freezing rain is less certain
   for central OK due to very gradual warming and temperatures hovering
   near the freezing mark. Regardless, the potential for widespread
   power outages will remain high as ice accumulation on trees,
   combined with 10-15 mph wind, continues. Temperature trends will
   continue to be monitored through the afternoon and evening hours
   ahead of another round of precipitation that is expected later
   tonight.
