| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | During the late night hours of the 14th and early morning hours of the 15th, the upper level storm moved across the southern plains. Strong southerly winds ahead of the storm brought warmer temperatures into the area a few thousand feet above the surface. The arctic air mass remained intact at the surface across the north central and northeastern areas but surface temperatures warmed above freezing across the south. When the precipitation developed early on the 15th, it therefore was able to fall as a cold rain over the entire area with the exception of north central and northeastern areas. Below freezing temperatures remained in these areas until mid-morning on the 15th and therefore light freezing rain produced a light glaze on exposed surfaces, and bridges and overpasses. The commute to work was treacherous for morning motorists and numerous traffic accidents resulted. |
