...POSSIBLE WINTER WEATHER EVENT ON FRIDAY FOR SOUTHEAST TEXAS...
AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS TEXAS AND
INTO SOUTHEAST TEXAS ON FRIDAY. MUCH COLDER AIR WILL ALSO FILTER
INTO THE REGION DURING THE DAY AS THIS DISTURBANCE MOVES OVER THE
AREA. STRONG LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE DISTURBANCE WILL COMBINE
WITH MOISTURE AND COLD AIR SO THAT WINTER PRECIPITATION WILL BE
POSSIBLE ACROSS SOUTHEAST TEXAS BEGINNING EARLY FRIDAY MORNING.
PRECIPITATION WILL POSSIBLY START AS RAIN BUT THEN CHANGE TO SNOW
DURING THE DAY AS TEMPERATURES FALL.
THIS SCENARIO REMAINS RATHER UNCERTAIN SINCE THERE IS STILL SOME
QUESTION AS TO WHEN THE DISTURBANCE MOVES OVER THE REGION AND HOW
MUCH MOISTURE WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR WINTRY PRECIPITATION.
FORECASTERS WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR FORECAST DATA AND MAKE
CHANGES AS NECESSARY. RESIDENTS OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS ARE ENCOURAGED
TO MONITOR THE FORECAST AND LOOK FOR UPDATES CONCERNING THE WINTER
WEATHER THREAT.
