In both Texas and Oklahoma
Daily snowfall records had already been broken yesterday (Wednesday) morning in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and Wichita Falls, Texas. They measured 3.2 and 2.4 inches, respectively, with more expected in the evening hours.
The old Feb. 5 records were 2.3 inches for Oklahoma City in 2002, and 1.7 inches for Wichita Falls in 1964. Average snowfall for the date is one-tenth of an inch. Another batch of snowfall could return to these areas this evening.
Several more inches of snowfall — along with with some sleet and freezing rain — was forecast for eastern Kansas, Missouri and Illinois for the rest of Wednesday, with the storm likely making a direct hit in St. Louis as well as Springfield, Illinois.
Wednesday night and Thursday, the storm will move into the eastern Great Lakes — mainly along and north of Interstate 70, including Indianapolis, Columbus and possibly Detroit — as well as the Northeast.
