Special Weather Statement
... Winter weather returns to west central Texas...
Primary impact...
areas of snow and sleet may develop on area roadways... mainly on
bridges and overpasses.
Location and timing...
sleet and snow mainly along the I-10 corridor tomorrow morning... and
then should continue to develop over a large part of the area
tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow night. Higher elevations located
from Sweetwater to Robert Lee to west of Ozona may see higher
accumulations.
What should you do...
there is still some uncertainty with the exact start of the
precipitation... amounts of wintry precipitation... and the
availability of freezing temperatures at the surface. Please check
the weather forecasts before you leave tomorrow morning.
If you have travel plans across west central Texas... please stay
tuned to additional updates and be prepared to adjust your plans
should the winter weather conditions become more widespread.
Overview...
the combination of a cold Arctic airmass and an approaching upper
level system will bring a chance of wintry precipitation to parts of
west central Texas Sunday and Sunday night. This precipitation may
develop shortly after sunrise across the northern Edwards
Plateau... and then spread northeast across the remainder of west
central Texas during the early afternoon. The wintry mix is
expected to continue through Sunday evening... coming to an end
Monday morning.
