Snow is making its way into the state today and into tomorrow.

A winter storm may bring record-breaking snowfall, slick roads, and freezing temperatures.

With snow expected to blanket much of the state, including the potential to surpass Oklahoma City’s Jan. 9 record of two inches set in 1977.

What is the weather like on Thursday?

The storm timeline begins this morning, with a mix of rain, sleet, and snow likely.

Roads may stay mostly clear during the day due to near-freezing temperatures and sunlight.

However, after sunset, temperatures will fall into the 20s, causing snow and ice to freeze on roads, especially on bridges and overpasses.

Snowfall will continue overnight, tapering off to flurries by early tomorrow morning.

Totals across the state range from one to six inches.
