...WINTRY WEATHER COULD IMPACT THE FOUR STATE REGION THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY...
LOW PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP IN THE NORTHWEST GULF OF
MEXICO THURSDAY...AS AN UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM HEADS TOWARD
TEXAS. PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS CENTRAL TEXAS
LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THEN SPREAD NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE FOUR
STATE REGION BY THURSDAY. PRECIPITATION WILL LIKELY CONTINUE
ACROSS OUR REGION INTO FRIDAY...AS THE ENTIRE STORM SYSTEM MOVES
EAST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN UNITED STATES.
EVEN THOUGH THE WEATHER EVENT IS STILL 2 TO 3 DAYS AWAY...WINTRY
PRECIPITATION WILL BE LIKELY WITH THIS STORM SYSTEM. WITH AN
ARCTIC AIRMASS ALREADY IN PLACE...THE PRECPITATION COULD START
OUT MIXED WITH OR AS SLEET. A CHANGEOVER TO ALL SNOW IS POSSIBLE
IN MANY AREAS IN THE PRE-DAWN HOURS FRIDAY BEFORE ENDING. SOME
ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...WITH THE
HIGHEST TOTALS EXPECTED TO OCCUR ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE INTERSTATE
20 CORRIDOR.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS EVENT IS STILL A FEW DAYS AWAY.
WINTER WEATHER EVENTS IN THE SOUTHERN UNITED STATES ARE VERY
TRICKY...AT BEST...TO FORECAST. A GREAT DEAL OF UNCERTAINTY
EXISTS REGARDING THE EXACT TRACK OF THE SURFACE LOW...AS WELL AS
ASSOCIATED TEMPERATURES AND PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS. A CHANGE IN THE
LOWS POSITION OF JUST ONE HUNDRED MILES WILL MAKE A SIGNIFICANT
DIFFERENCE IN THE LOCATION AND TYPE OF ANY WINTRY PRECIPITATION.
RESIDENTS AND PEOPLE PLANNING TRAVEL ACROSS THE FOUR STATE REGION
SHOULD CONTINUE TO MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND STATEMENTS
REGARDING THIS POTENTIAL FOR SEEING WINTRY WEATHER.
