VERY FEW CHANGES WERE NEEDED TO THE GOING FORECAST WITH THE ONLY
REAL CHANGES OF NOTE MADE TO ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY FOR TONIGHT/MON
MORNING, EXPAND HARD FREEZE WARNING BY A FEW COUNTIES TO THE EAST
TONIGHT, AND ISSUE A HARD FREEZE WATCH FOR MONDAY NIGHT.

TONIGHT...
PRECIP CHANCES WILL INCREASE FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS MAINLY THE NRN
PANHANDLES. PRECIP STILL LOOKS AS THOUGH IT COULD BEGIN AS A BIT OF
RAIN BEFORE QUICKLY TRANSITIONING TO POSSIBLY A BRIEF PERIOD OF
SLEET, BEFORE THE PREDOMINANT PRECIP TYPE OF SNOW IS REALIZED IN
MOST PLACES BY AROUND OR JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT. GOING AMOUNTS SEEM TO
STILL BE VALID WITH THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY LOOKING TO BE ON
TRACK. SEE OUR FACEBOOK OR YOUTUBE PAGES FOR MORE GRAPHICAL INFO ON
THIS.

EXPANDED THE HARD FREEZE WARNING TO INCLUDE OCHILTREE AND BEAVER
COUNTIES TONIGHT AND ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY FOR AREAS NOT IN THE

WORDING ABOUT THE WINDS ALREADY.

MONDAY...
HAVE STAYED ON THE COLD SIDE OF GUIDANCE WITH A RAW MID APRIL DAY ON
TAP. ANY LINGERING SNOW SHOULD QUICKLY PEEL OUT OF THE AREA MON
MORNING.

MONDAY NIGHT...

ISSUED A HARD FREEZE WATCH TO ACCOUNT.

GOING FORECAST IS ON TRACK WITH A WARM UP AHEAD OF ANOTHER COLD
FRONT WED NIGHT. AFTER A COOL DAY THU...ANOTHER WARM UP SHOULD BE IN
