State officials and major utility providers in Oklahoma and Texas share updates and informational resources for customers in advance of the weekend's potential severe weather.

Meteorologists are warning of a severe winter storm that will bring snow, freezing rain and dangerously cold temperatures to Oklahoma on Friday.

Several inches of snow are expected when an Arctic blast and a winter storm hit Oklahoma later this week, with the OKC metro having a chance of seeing a record amount of snowfall.

The storm is among the most extreme and widespread in years and is set to shut down travel and knock out power across a huge area.
