Tulsa, OK – A winter storm is set to impact northeast Oklahoma on Wednesday, bringing freezing rain, sleet, and snow to the region. Residents should prepare for slippery roads, especially in the morning and afternoon, as temperatures drop below freezing.
According to the National Weather Service, precipitation will begin as rain before transitioning to a wintry mix. Ice accumulation is possible in higher elevations, and untreated roads could become hazardous. Wind gusts up to 25 mph will make travel difficult.
