...WINTRY WEATHER POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...

AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST
WEDNESDAY. AS MOISTURE IS LIFTED OVER COLD AIR AT THE SURFACE...
A WINTRY MIX OF RAIN...SNOW...AND SLEET IS POSSIBLE...BEGINNING
AS EARLY AS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. WHILE LITTLE OR NO ACCUMULATION
IS EXPECTED INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT...A SECOND STRONGER SYSTEM WILL
MOVE ACROSS WEST CENTRAL TEXAS THURSDAY. THIS SYSTEM HAS A GREATER
POTENTIAL FOR SNOW ACCUMULATION...ESPECIALLY THURSDAY AFTERNOON
AND NIGHT. AREAS OF THE BIG COUNTRY...CONCHO VALLEY...AND NORTHERN
HEARTLAND ARE THE MOST FAVORED AREAS OF SNOW ACCUMULATION. WHILE
SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS UP TO 2 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE...THERE REMAINS
SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTY ON HOW MUCH...AND EVEN THE TYPE OF
PRECIPITATION.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE CRITICAL FOR THIS EVENT. READINGS OF ONLY A
FEW DEGREES COLDER WOULD ALLOW THE WINTRY MIX TO TO CHANGE OVER TO
ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL FOR MUCH OF THE AREA. SLIGHTLY WARMER
TEMPERATURES WOULD ALLOW FOR JUST A COLD RAIN.

RESIDENTS OF WEST CENTRAL TEXAS ARE ENCOURAGED TO MONITOR THE
LATEST FORECAST AND WEATHER CONDITIONS. BE PREPARED FOR A
PROLONGED PERIOD OF COLD TEMPERATURES AND THE POTENTIAL FOR
WINTRY WEATHER ACROSS WEST CENTRAL TEXAS.
