More snow expected as spring blizzard hits southern Plains, slicking roads and snarling travel

More snow expected in Okla., Ark. spring blizzard

OKLAHOMA CITY — More snow is expected as part of a powerful storm blowing through Oklahoma and the southern Plains on the weekend of spring.

The National Weather Service says the snow will keep falling across much of eastern Oklahoma and into northwest Arkansas on Sunday, with up to 6 more inches possible. That means some part of the two states will have gotten more than a foot of snow since the storm began Saturday.

Authorities have attributed at least three deaths in Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma to the weather. The storm also disrupted travel on the roads and in the air.

The storm came a day after temperatures had reached into the 70s, and forecasters say temperatures should rebound into the 60s as soon as Monday.
