SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
Issue Date: 917 PM CST SUN DEC 27 2009
Expiration: 500 AM CST MON DEC 28 2009
...ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL MORE CERTAIN FOR WEST CENTRAL TEXAS ON TUESDAY...
AN UPPER STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE OUT OF NEW MEXICO INTO WEST
CENTRAL TEXAS LATE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. IN ADDITION...COLDER
AIR IS EXPECTED TO FILTER INTO THE AREA. AS THE SYSTEM APPROACHES...
PRECIPITATION WILL BEGIN AS LIGHT RAIN MONDAY NIGHT WITH A
TRANSITION TO SLEET AND THEN SNOW BY TUESDAY MORNING ACROSS MUCH
OF WEST CENTRAL TEXAS.
THE TRACK OF THE STORM AND SNOWFALL AMOUNTS ARE STILL UNCERTAIN
AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER...IT APPEARS THAT THE AREA MOST LIKELY TO
SEE ACCUMULATING SNOW WILL BE TO THE NORTH OF AN OZONA TO
BROWNWOOD LINE ON TUESDAY. THE BIG COUNTRY AND WESTERN AND CENTRAL CONCHO
VALLEY COULD SEE SNOW TOTALS APPROACHING 2 TO 3 INCHES. LOCATIONS
ACROSS THE EDWARDS PLATEAU AND HILL COUNTRY WILL SEE WARMER
TEMPERATURES...WITH A MIX OF LIGHT RAIN...SLEET...AND SNOW WITH
ACCUMULATIONS OF AN INCH OR LESS EXPECTED.
CURRENTLY...WE DO NOT BELIEVE THIS SYSTEM WILL BE AS STRONG AS THE
ONE WHICH BROUGHT SIGNIFICANT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS TO PARTS OF WEST
CENTRAL TEXAS LAST WEEK. HOWEVER...HIGHER SNOWFALL AMOUNTS ARE
POSSIBLE. AT THIS TIME...WHERE THESE HIGHER AMOUNTS MAY ACCUMULATE
REMAINS UNCERTAIN. LOOK FOR ADDITIONAL FORECAST UPDATES...
WATCHES...WARNINGS...OR ADVISORIES OVER THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS.
