...WINTRY WEATHER POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...

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

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

RESIDENTS OF WEST CENTRAL TEXAS ARE ENCOURAGED TO MONITOR THE
LATEST FORECAST AND WEATHER CONDITIONS. BE PREPARED FOR A

...A WINTRY MIX OF PRECIPITATION WILL IMPACT SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO
AND MUCH OF WEST TEXAS TONIGHT AND THURSDAY...

A POTENT UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM WILL APPROACH WEST TEXAS AND
SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO TONIGHT...AND WILL BRING AN INCREASING
CHANCE OF WINTRY PRECIPITATION TO MUCH OF THE REGION THROUGH
THURSDAY.

SIGNIFICANT WINTER WEATHER WILL BE MOST LIKELY IN THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS OF THE GUADALUPE...DELAWARE...AND DAVIS MOUNTAINS
TONIGHT AND THURSDAY MORNING...WHERE A WINTER STORM WATCH IS IN
EFFECT FOR 3 TO 5 INCHES OF SNOW. A WINTRY MIX OF RAIN...SLEET AND
SNOW IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO
PLAINS...THE VAN HORN CORRIDOR...THE UPPER TRANS PECOS
REGION...THE MARFA PLATEAU...AND THE PERMIAN BASIN TONIGHT AND
THURSDAY. SNOW AND SLEET ACCUMULATIONS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES WILL BE
POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...ESPECIALLY ACROSS
PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO PLAINS AND THE NORTHERN
PERMIAN BASIN.

THERE IS STILL UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE TIMING OF THE UPPER LEVEL
STORM SYSTEM AND THE AMOUNT OF COLD AIR THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE.
CHANGES IN THESE TWO FACTORS WILL ULTIMATELY DETERMINE THE TYPE
AND AMOUNT OF PRECIPITATION THAT OCCURS. A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY
COULD BECOME NECESSARY ACROSS SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO AND PORTIONS OF
WEST TEXAS TONIGHT AND THURSDAY. RESIDENTS OF SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO
AND WEST TEXAS ARE URGED TO KEEP ABREAST OF THE LATEST WEATHER
FORECASTS AND BE PREPARED FOR A POTENTIAL WINTER WEATHER EVENT
TONIGHT AND THURSDAY.

...WINTRY PRECIPITATION EXPECTED LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY...

AN APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING AN INCREASING
CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WITH THE BEST CHANCES
ON THURSDAY BEFORE DIMINISHING LATE THURSDAY NIGHT. TEMPERATURES
NEAR THE SURFACE WILL BE HOVERING AROUND THE FREEZING
MARK...CREATING DIFFICULTIES IN DEFINING THE EXACT PRECIPITATION
TYPE THAT IS TO BE EXPECTED. THUS...A COLD RAIN...SNOW...SLEET OR
A COMBINATION OF ALL THREE WILL BE POSSIBLE.

THE MOST RECENT FORECAST TRACKS OF THE STORM SYSTEM HAVE CONTINUED
TO TREND SOUTHWARD...WHICH MEANS THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN SOUTH
PLAINS AND ROLLING PLAINS MAY BE MOST LIKELY TO RECEIVE ANY
APPRECIABLE MOISTURE. ALTHOUGH NOT ANTICIPATING A MAJOR WINTER
STORM...THIS SYSTEM COULD INDUCE AN INCH OR TWO OF SNOW GENERALLY
SOUTH OF A LITTLEFIELD TO FLOYDADA TO PADUCAH LINE IF TEMPERATURES
ARE COLD ENOUGH FOR PRIMARILY SNOW.

THE EVENTUAL TRACK AND SPEED OF THE UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM CAN
STILL CHANGE...WHICH WOULD AFFECT WHEN AND WHERE THE BEST CHANCE OF
PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR AND WHAT TYPE OF PRECIPITATION WILL BE MOST
FAVORED. THOSE PLANNING TRAVEL LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY WILL
WANT TO STAY ABREAST OF THE LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION AND BE
PREPARED FOR POSSIBLE WINTRY WEATHER.

...A WINTRY MIX OF PRECIPITATION EXPECTED TONIGHT THROUGH
THURSDAY NIGHT...

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL AFFECT NORTH TEXAS TONIGHT THROUGH

PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE ABOVE FREEZING AND
TRAVEL IMPACTS TONIGHT AND THURSDAY SHOULD BE MINIMAL.
TEMPERATURES WILL FALL BELOW FREEZING THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH
FRIDAY MORNING AND SOME SLICK SPOTS MAY DEVELOP ON AREA
ROADS...ESPECIALLY BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES.

ACCUMULATIONS OF WET SNOW WILL BE GENERALLY LESS THAN 1 INCH.
HOWEVER...UP TO ONE INCH OF SNOW MAY ACCUMULATE IN SOME LOCATIONS
NORTH OF A COMANCHE TO ATHENS LINE...ESPECIALLY ON GRASSY AND
