TULSA – The National Weather Service says that while it is cold this morning, the best chance for a potential wintry mix of weather is likely this afternoon.

“A light wintry mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain will work farther south and east this afternoon as colder air sweeps through the region,” Forecasters said early Monday. “The wintry mix may become mostly light snow across northwest Arkansas and far eastern Oklahoma before tapering off. Accumulations will be very light, with less than 1/2″ possible across northwest Arkansas.”

Unseasonably cold temperatures are expected to linger in the region for at least part of the week as high temperatures are expected to only be near 36 degrees on Tuesday.
