    Green Country will see storms ramping up in coverage and intensity through this afternoon and evening. A Moderate Risk or level 4 out of 5 exists for our entire area. A dryline has already set up in western Oklahoma and may move farther to the east near I-35. Storms are expected to initiate ahead of the boundary in the early afternoon, with a second round along the dryline in the evening. All modes of severe weather will be possible for both rounds.

    TULSA, OKLA (KTUL) — A wintry mix including light snow, freezing drizzle, drizzle, and sleet is ongoing this morning across the metro. As we approach noon, the wintry mix will transition to snow. Snow will be heavy at times, with snowfall rates up to an inch per hour. This would lead to accumulation on roads and very dangerous travel.

Our far northern counties will fare the worst in terms of snow accumulation. 4-10" is very possible, with some folks ending up with a foot. The Tulsa metro will at least see 4", with lesser amounts as you go south.
