...MORE WINTER WEATHER ON THE WAY FOR WEST CENTRAL TEXAS...
WITH COLD AIR ALREADY IN PLACE...AN APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL STORM
SYSTEM WILL BRING A GOOD CHANCE OF SNOW TO ALL OF WEST CENTRAL
TEXAS. IT APPEARS THE SNOW WILL START ACROSS THE NORTHWEST BIG
COUNTRY...NORTHWEST OF ABILENE...AFTER MIDNIGHT THURSDAY NIGHT...
AND THEN SPREAD ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF WEST CENTRAL TEXAS DURING
THE DAYLIGHT HOURS ON FRIDAY. ALTHOUGH THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE
REMAINS UNCERTAIN...IT APPEARS THAT AN INCH OR TWO OF SNOW
ACCUMULATION WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS MOST OF WEST CENTRAL TEXAS
BY THE TIME THE SNOW ENDS FRIDAY EVENING.
GIVEN THE COLD CONDITIONS SEEN THE LAST FEW DAYS...TEMPERATURES
ON AREA ROADWAYS HAVE LIKELY COOLED TO THE POINT WHERE SOME OF THE
SNOW MAY CREATE ICY SPOTS ON AREA ROADWAYS.
IN ADDITION TO THE THREAT OF SNOW...VERY COLD TEMPERATURES ARE
POSSIBLE SATURDAY MORNING. IF SKIES CLEAR AS EXPECTED BEHIND THE
STORM SYSTEM...TEMPERATURES WILL FALL RAPIDLY...PERHAPS REACHING
INTO THE TEENS ACROSS PARTS OF THE AREA.
AREA RESIDENTS AND THOSE TRAVELING ACROSS WEST CENTRAL TEXAS ARE
URGED TO MONITOR THE WEATHER FORECASTS AND WEATHER CONDITIONS AS
THIS DEVELOPING WINTER WEATHER EVENT UNFOLDS. STAY TUNED TO NOAA
