A Wet Thanksgiving for Green Country

NWS Graphic

It is going to be a cold and wet holiday weekend across Oklahoma. 

If you are traveling to western Oklahoma, be aware of a Winter Storm Watch posted for the area west of I-35 with up to a quarter of an inch of ice possible. If you are traveling into Kansas, much of that state is under a Winter Weather Advisory. Here in Tulsa, we are expected to stay just above freezing and are covered by a Flash Flood Watch.

The National Weather Service says we should see heavy rain starting on Thanksgiving afternoon. It will continue through the weekend.  Forecasters say we could see 5-to-7 inches of rain during the weekend. That is more than enough to cause flash and river/creek flooding. A worst case forecast shows us getting over 10-inches of rain.
