Winter Storm Warning

Statement as of 9:42 PM CDT on March 20, 2010

Expires 5:00 PM EDT on March 21, 2010


... Winter Storm Warning now in effect until 4 PM CDT Sunday...

The Winter Storm Warning is now in effect until 4 PM CDT Sunday.

An Arctic air mass continues to push southeast ahead of a strong
upper level storm system over southern Oklahoma and North Texas
this evening. Temperatures are expected to remain in the lower
and mid 30s tonight... with areas of snow developing tonight atop
this cold air mass over the warning area. Snowfall is expected to
increase in coverage and intensity late tonight through Sunday.

Total snowfall accumulations of two to five inches will be
possible mainly northwest of a Clarksville Texas... to Texarkana
and Nashville Arkansas line... with isolated amounts nearing seven
inches possible across northern McCurtain County Oklahoma. The
significant snowfall will diminish late Sunday afternoon or
evening... as this storm system begins to drift east away from the
region.

Temperatures are expected to remain near or slightly above
freezing tonight and Sunday as the snow moves into the area.
Thus... snowfall accumulations will occur mainly on elevated and
grassy surfaces. However... patchy ice may develop on some
bridges... overpasses... and secondary roadways... where
temperatures fall to or below freezing late tonight and Sunday
morning.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Winter Storm Warning means significant amounts of snow are
expected. Strong winds are also possible. This will make travel
very hazardous or impossible.





Lake Wind Advisory

Statement as of 9:16 PM CDT on March 20, 2010

Expires 8:00 PM EDT on March 21, 2010


... Lake Wind Advisory remains in effect until 7 PM CDT Sunday...

A lake Wind Advisory remains in effect until 7 PM CDT Sunday.

A very tight pressure gradient will persist across the entire four
state region through Sunday evening... beneath a very strong upper level low
pressure system that will slowly shift east across the Red River
valley of northeast Texas and southeast Oklahoma tonight... and into
southwest Arkansas and north Louisiana Sunday. This will result in west
northwest winds of 15 to 25 mph... with gusts to 35 mph. These gusty winds
should begin to subside by Sunday evening as this storm system begins
to depart the area.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A lake Wind Advisory indicates that winds will cause rough chop
on area lakes. Small boats will be especially prone to capsizing.
