...Wintry Weather Likely Across West Central Texas Monday Night
and Tuesday...
.An arctic cold front will push across West Central Texas Monday
afternoon and Monday evening, bringing a much colder air mass to
the area. As temperatures fall, areas of wintry precipitation
will develop. Although much of the area will see light
accumulations, portions of the Heartland, Northwest Hill Country,
and Northern Edwards Plateau may see higher totals. This will be
an area mainly south of a San Saba to Brady to Menard to Sonora
line.
...WINTER STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM LATE MONDAY NIGHT
THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING...
* WHAT...A wintry mix of freezing rain, sleet, and perhaps snow
will result in very slippery conditions on sidewalks, roads
and bridges, including during the morning commute on Tuesday.
Total ice accumulations of one tenth to one quarter inch will
be possible. Roadways may be ice covered and travel may be
hazardous.
* WHERE...Portions of the Heartland, Northwest Hill Country, and
Edwards Plateau south of a San Saba to Brady to Menard to
Sonora line. This will include portions of Interstate 10.
* WHEN...From late Monday night through Tuesday morning.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...In addition, gusty north winds will
combine with the very cold temperatures to produce wind chills
dropping to near zero at times.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Winter Storm Watch means there is potential for significant
