With dangerously cold temperatures and possibly even snow moving into Southern Oklahoma, the local homeless population is facing an increased risk.
Grace Center Executive Director Laura Akers said the community has shown great concern for those spending their nights on the streets, and shelters in the area are working to ensure individuals have a warm place to go at night.
Overnight lows are expected to be in the single digits this weekend, with the wind chill ranging from zero to negative 10. A snowstorm may also move through the area Sunday into Monday.
