Another round of winter weather moving into Oklahoma

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) - Another round of winter weather is on the way. Icy roads are expected in the metro on Wednesday. 

"I think Oklahoma City could see one to two tenths of an inch of ice, definitely causing issues on the roadways,” said KFOR Meteorologist Emily Sutton during Monday morning’s forecast. 

According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, hazardous storms and inclement weather are a factor in an average of nearly half a million crashes and more than 2,200 traffic crash deaths nationwide every winter. 

Shawn Steward, a spokesman for AAA Oklahoma, said that’s why drivers need to keep safety top of mind. 

"Make sure that you leave plenty of extra time for coming up to an intersection to stop, because your vehicle may hit ice and you may not be able to stop in time,” said Steward. “Same thing with accelerating." 

Before you hit the road make sure your gas tank is full, your car’s battery has a 12 volt load and your tires have the proper amount of air. 

“Average tire pressure is 32 to 35 PSI,” said Brian Thompson, the owner of Brian’s Automotive Services in Edmond. “If the tires are too flat on air, it's not going to give you proper handling and proper steering or proper control of the vehicle." 

You’ll also want to make sure you have enough antifreeze and windshield wiper fluid.
