At 7:13am, the major winter storm is rapidly developing over the southern Plains and is spreading east and north. The purple shades are ice! This is a very serious storm that will cause power interruptions and road closures. Please plan accordingly -- there may be power outages in Oklahoma and the southeast Texas Panhandle that will last for days.
UPDATE 8:48am: Power failures are now being reported in southwest Oklahoma. Interstate 40 is blocked by an accident in far western Oklahoma. It is likely that I-40 will have to be closed before the day is over. I-35 and I-44 will see seriously deteriorating conditions as the day progresses in Oklahoma and there is a chance they will be closed, also.
