Oklahoma's freezing rain
The freezing line throughout this entire event has remained just west of the AR / OK border, stretching from NW Benton County through central Sequoyah County and point’s southward. We’ve had many calls and emails with reports of ice just now starting to form on trees and power lines just 10 miles west of the Fort Smith area. Remember, the first sign that precipitation has shifted to freezing rain will be icicles forming on tree branches.
Regardless of type, we would love to have your reports and help us “see” exactly what’s happening in the in-between areas. Also, thanks big time to everyone that has been emailing us and calling with the reports… keep em’ coming!
We’re still anticipating a falling of temperatures, as we're starting to see now, throughout the rest of the evening. This will give almost our entire area icy conditions. A feed of moisture back behind this present fetch continues to blossom and it’s likely that throughout the overnight we’ll continue to see light freezing drizzle which may mix in with some sleet in areas to the north and west. A few flurries can’t be ruled out by the time this system departs tomorrow and then it’s going to get COLD!
Taking a peak at the extended… we may be in for a bit more wintry weather by next weekend!

Hi Mike, I will keep my fingers crossed for ya too.
So far here in Howe Ok. the temp. has managed not to fall to quickly.
An hour ago it was 32*
what happened today, yall said this morning that fayetteville had reached its high of 34 and was going to slowly fall, well we hit 40 today in fayetteville and no ice, i changed my plans all weekend just because we had an ice storm warning all weekend and we didnt get anything but a cold rain wow what a botch of a forecast good job
im just messing with you guys about the above i know yalls job is very tough and sometimes its a crap shoot, good job this weekend and i hope yall get some sleep soon
It's currently 33.8*F in Booneville and maybe just maybe a freezing drizzle( i hope!). When are we going to get ice?!
Booneville will be close...you're hovering just above freezing. Light drizzle and light rain is now moving from central Oklahoma toward our area over the next several hours. If your temp is at 32 or below, you're going to see ice. Be careful!
Winter Weather Advisory now out for Sebastian, Crawford and Franklin counties from 9 pm till 4 am due to sleet and freezing rain expected with last round. Temp is still holding in Fort Smith though.
