6:30p.m. Update

From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...

The good news is, the chances for winter precipiation across the Big Country has just about ended. Roads are dry. The bad news is, temperatures are dropping and will do so all night long.

If you have any travel plans tonight or tomorrow anywhere East of the Big Country, say to the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, you might want to hold off. Freezing rain, sleet and snow are continuing to fall at this hour and will continue to do so overnight. The National Weather Service is calling for possible one to two inches of snow by morning. Roads are already slick and getting slicker by the hour. Temperatures will likely stay below freezing there as well until Friday.

Back here at home, there is still a slight chance of wintry precipitation from Eastland county, to Brown and Comanche counties. The chances will likely end just after midnight.

Temperatures will fall into the single digits, 9 to be exact in Snyder tonight. The rest of the area will see lows around 10 degrees or a few degrees warmer.

For updates on all of the warnings and advisories, please visit the National Weather Service's website: http://www.srh.noaa.gov/sjt/ Just click on your county and the next page will have all of the current advisories for your area.

I'll have the latest radar imagery tonight at 10:00 p.m. on the KRBC-9 News.
