It will be timed with an upper-level storm coming in from the west.

This will spark rain and storms to the south and blowing snow to the north. The exact track of the low will determine who sees what impacts.

Future forecast.

Especially into northern Oklahoma, where accumulating snow is possible. The cut-off for winter precip will be around I-40.

That means the OKC metro may see rain change over to ice to sleet to eventually some light snow by Monday night.

As of now, the worst travel conditions look to be in Kansas and Missouri with slick spots possible in northern Oklahoma by Monday morning.

2024 Weather Recap

Snowfall: Oklahoma City recorded just 3.4 inches of snow this year, well below the average of 7.6 inches. We had small amounts in January, February, and March but nothing major.
Rainfall: On the flip side, it was a wetter-than-average year with 37.11 inches of rain—three-quarters of an inch above normal. November stood out as the wettest month of the year, with a historic rainfall total, while August also brought significant amounts.
Severe Weather: Oklahoma saw 152 tornadoes in 2024, just shy of the record 149 set in 2020. Among the most active counties were Roger Mills and Ottawa, with six tornadoes each. While there were no EF-5 tornadoes, two EF-4s caused devastating impacts to several communities.
