As of right now I can report a decent bit of flurries in east Fayetteville still ongoing here the main system hasn't even arrived yet. Its blowing all over the streets too. Grass is almost covered.

EDIT: Found this on Twitter. Same thing happening over by Oologah is happening here.

 

It's an awesome phenomenon for a part of the country that frequently gets above 100 degrees in the summer.

Thought this update was interesting.  Sounds like Tulsa thinks this could be big for the entire area

National Weather Service Tulsa OK
1004 PM CST Sat Feb 13 2021

.DISCUSSION...
Have updated snowfall amounts for tonight in areas to the
northwest of I-44, as most recent runs of the HRRR and HRW suite
have continued to focus the initial frontogenetic band of snow in
the 06-12z time frame more to the north. Mid-level radar echoes
have been gradually expanding across SW-central OK likely in
response to this increased forcing. An environment characterized
by steep lapse rates above the cold air at the sfc may be
supportive of CSI in the elevated front zone, and thus some heavy
banding of snow may occur late tonight into Sunday morning.

The overall message of the forecast remains the same tonight as a
significant winter storm is shaping up for a large part of
eastern OK and northwest AR. Dynamic upper level system located
near the Four Corners, which has produced numerous CG lightning
strikes across NM/AZ this evening, continues to move east, and
will provide a prolonged period of strong forcing over much of
the area.

North winds have begun to increase over the past couple of hours
in response to the approaching system, with gusts around 25 mph
becoming common across northeast OK. Wind chills have fallen below
-5 in parts of NE OK as a result and while this is technically
 wind chill advisory criteria, this will be covered by the winter
 storm warning beginning at midnight. Higher dew points
 depressions seem to have cut off the lake effect snow across
 eastern OK, however sfc reports indicate there is still some
 ongoing in the FYV area...so have added flurries into the
 forecast for the remainder of the evening. Per satellite this
 appears to be mainly down wind from Beaver Lake.

Morgan on Channel 4 

I still don’t know how mike Morgan has a job in the OKC market. So many good mets coming out of OU, one would think they could do better than Morgan. He’s incredibly entertaining to listen to, but he’s a hype machine.

I was told he got his mets degree from Mississippi State. I took a summer metrology class for teachers from the Oklahoma Mesonet and got the download

Wasn’t necessarily saying mike went to OU, just saying that I would think a news station in the OKC metro could do better with Ou being there.

He was on another Okc station as regular  met. Then Channel four hired him away from that station

...New AVIATION...

.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 412 PM CST Sat Feb 13 2021

As discussed in the morning update, it looks like we will have
some low-level frontogenesis developing across south central and
southeast Oklahoma. The ageostrophic response to this
frontogenesis will likely enhance some lift north of this area
creating a band of snow. These are typically somewhat narrow bands
and difficult to forecast locations very precisely, but the best
signal is that this band will set up somewhere in central to
northeastern Oklahoma where it could produce a couple of inches
of snow between midnight and sunrise. The Winter Storm Warning
starts areawide at midnight, so that still covers this potential
early round of snow.

The snow associated with the main storm system will move into the
area Sunday morning near or just before sunrise Sunday morning.
In general, the model QPF is a little lower than previous
forecasts, so have adjusted the snow amounts down just a touch. We
are still expecting amounts of 5 inches or more throughout the
forecast area, with the highest amounts of roughly 8 to 9 inches
across southwest Oklahoma and area of north Texas near Wichita 
Falls. The storm system looks a little quicker and have adjusted
the timing of the forecast and heaviest snowfall a little bit.

That update is from 4:12 this afternoon.  All they updated at 10:59 was the aviation.
