Snow Flurries Possible Early Sunday Across Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, and Missouri

TULSA, Okla. — A light burst of winter weather could greet residents early Sunday morning across parts of Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, and Missouri, as forecasters track a cold front pushing through the region with a small chance of snow flurries.

Meteorologists say the system will move in behind a cold front, with a strong upper-level disturbance bringing just enough lift and moisture to potentially squeeze out brief snow showers in northeastern Oklahoma, northwest Arkansas, eastern Kansas, and western Missouri.

Forecast Details and Timing

The flurries are most likely to develop early Sunday morning, mainly before sunrise, as temperatures hover right around freezing. However, no snow accumulation is expected, since ground temperatures remain relatively warm and any snow that falls will likely melt on contact.

Weather experts note that residents might see light flakes or a brief dusting on grassy surfaces in higher elevations, but roads should stay clear. The event is expected to be short-lived, lasting less than an hour in most areas.

Areas Most Likely to See Flurries

Forecasters say the best chance of seeing snow will be in and around Tulsa, Bartlesville, Fort Smith, and Springfield, stretching eastward toward Jonesboro and northwestern Arkansas.

Those living in northeastern Oklahoma and western Missouri could also notice a few flakes during the morning commute, though meteorologists emphasize that travel impacts are not anticipated.

What Residents Should Expect

The air mass behind the cold front will remain chilly throughout Sunday, with temperatures just above freezing and brisk winds making it feel colder. By afternoon, skies are expected to clear, allowing sunshine to return to most areas by late day.

Residents are advised to bundle up for early morning errands or church services, as wind chills could dip into the 20s.
