At 1030 am...an upper level low centered over northern Louisiana was moving slowly east.

Scattered light snow was falling over areas east of a line from Shawnee...to Sulphur...to Ardmore. Through this morning...light snow will persist across portions of east central and southeastern Oklahoma...with very little accumulation expected. Due to temperatures near or above freezing... the snow will have minimal impact on travel as roads should be mostly wet.

Winds will be from the north at 20 to 25 mph...with some gusts to around 35 mph.
