Storms that passed over Oklahoma late Thursday and early Friday didn't deliver as much snow as expected, preparing the Sooner State for a milder weekend than planned.

The highest accumulation, 2.5 inches, was measured in Leedey in the northwest part of the state, according to the National Weather Service. Areas around Enid and Woodward got about 2 inches and the rest of northwestern Oklahoma got about an inch.
Elsewhere trace amounts were recorded.
"It looks like it set up a little farther north than expected and most of the heavier snowfall was across the (Kansas) border,” said Ty Judd, forecaster for the weather service.
What little snow fell in Oklahoma won't stick around long as milder conditions are expected to return over the weekend.
Highs were recorded in the low 40s on Friday and are expected again on Saturday. By Sunday highs could reach into the 50s, providing what could be the final mild day of the year before a cold front pushes in New Year's Eve.
On Monday, highs will reach into the 40s but will drop into the 20s Monday night, climbing back into the upper 30s by New Year's Day.
