WINTER STORM WARNING for Central Oklahoma

NORMAN DOME, anniliated
0100Z: grounds: dry
0300Z: 1/4"-1/2" ice/sleet across all metro OKC
of note, 9am thr morning temp: 70* yet ground cannot accomodate this much ice and sleet in this short amount of time much like a rain downpour. I honestly never thought sleet and freezing rain could come down that hard in the form of a "toad strangler". But this has caught everyone including WFOOUN completely by surprise. Heres an excerpt from the AFD

TONIGHT CENTRAL AND NORTHERN OKLAHOMA WILL BE CLOSER TO THE JET STREAK AND MID LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS. DEEPER LIFT MAY SATURATE THE DRY LAYER AND ADD SOME LIGHT SNOW TO THE MIX IN THESE AREAS. SNOW AMOUNTS SHOULD BE VERY LIGHT...HOWEVER...GIVEN THE DRY AIR AND LACK OF STRONG LIFT.
