The KRMG Morning News goes in-depth on the winter weather outlook for 2017-18.

TULSA, Ok — Although winter doesn’t offically start for another three weeks, KRMG wanted to see what the experts think is on tap for Oklahoma.

“We’re in a pattern with a mild La Niña” National Weather Service meteorologist in charge Steve Piltz told us. “That could mean a milder than normal winter but that doesn’t mean there won’t be snow,” he continued.

Fox23 and KRMG chief meteorologist James Aydelotte agrees. “We’ve had some of out worst winter storms in years with a mild La Niña.”

NWS hydrologist Nicole McGavock is charged with doing research  into the history of weather patterns. She’s found one trend seems to be taking hold. “Since the mid 70’s, it’s been getting consistently warmer,” she began. “While the average temperature may be up slightly, the high’s tend to be hotter.”

We asked all three when they expect Tulsa to see it’s first snow. “January 4th,” said Piltz, while Aydelotte thinks “December 15th.” McGavock thought for a second before deciding on late December.
