Winter wreaks havoc on area roads

TULSA — Drivers on the Inner Dispersal Loop around downtown started to have problems shortly after 3:00pm Tuesday.

FOX23 and NEWS102.3 KRMG Chief Meteorologist James Aydelott has been telling us that the winter weather was headed to Green Country Tuesday afternoon and evening, and now it has arrived.

Freezing rain and sleet are in the forecast across parts of Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas, leaving roads slick and hazardous in the region.

The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for Tulsa County until midnight. Counties to the south and east of Tulsa are also in the advisory.

The National Weather Service says power outages are unlikely, as wind speeds are expected to remain light with accumulations near a tenth of an inch.

Sunshine returns Wednesday with highs in the 40s.
