AN APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING AN INCREASING
CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WITH THE BEST CHANCES
ON THURSDAY BEFORE DIMINISHING THURSDAY NIGHT. CURRENTLY...IT APPEARS
TEMPERATURES WILL BE VERY NEAR THE CRITICAL FREEZING MARK IN THE
LOWER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE DURING THIS PERIOD...WHICH MEANS THE
TYPE OF PRECIPITATION WILL BE TRICKY TO FORECAST...BUT IT COULD FALL
IN THE FORM OF A COLD RAIN...SNOW...SLEET OR A COMBINATION OF ALL
THREE.
THE MOST RECENT FORECAST TRACKS OF THE STORM SYSTEM HAVE BEEN
TRENDING SOUTHWARD...WHICH MEANS THE 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 SQUEEZE OUT AN INCH OR TWO OF SNOW GENERALLY SOUTH OF A
MORTON TO LUBBOCK 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
