A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE IN THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE WILL LIFT NORTHEAST
OUT OF THE SOUTHWESTERN STATES AND NORTHWEST MEXICO BY TUESDAY
MORNING. THIS UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TRACKING NORTHEAST
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES AND FAR WEST TEXAS AND APPROACH THE TEXAS
AND OKLAHOMA PANHANDLES BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. A COLD AIR MASS WILL
REMAIN IN PLACE ACROSS PANHANDLES TUESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. A
SOUTHERLY SURFACE FLOW WILL ALLOW FOR PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
TO ADVECT INTO THE AREA. THE COLD AND MOIST AIR MASS ALONG WITH THE
APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH FROM THE SOUTH AND WEST WILL RESULT IN
SNOW SPREADING NORTHEAST INTO THE TEXAS PANHANDLE BY TUESDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING.

OCCUR MAINLY TUESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH MIDNIGHT TUESDAY NIGHT...WITH
ALL OF THE TEXAS AND EASTERN OKLAHOMA PANHANDLES RECEIVING SOME SNOW.
AT THIS TIME...ONE TO TWO INCHES OF SNOW ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST TEXAS PANHANDLE WITH GENERALLY LESS THAN AN INCH ELSEWHERE.

SNOWFALL SHOULD BE ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN SECTIONS OF THE TEXAS
PANHANDLE. TRAVEL MAY BECOME DIFFICULT TUESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
TUESDAY NIGHT. YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO KEEP UP TO DATE WITH THE LATEST
