Saturday Evening Update

From Meteorologist Nathan Motz.....

A tricky forecast coming up for this weekend and into early next week. A strong cold front will approach from the north and allow very cold air to sag south into west central Texas. Highs will barely approach the 40 degree mark on Sunday and will fail to make it out of the 30's on Monday and Tuesday.

In addition to the cold temperatures, rain showers will begin to develop starting late tonight and will change over to a wintry mix during the day on Monday. Freezing rain will be probable as well especially on Monday night and early Tuesday morning. Otherwise, rain mixed with sleet and possibly snow where it is cold enough will prevail across the majority of the Big Country on Monday and into Tuesday.

Chances for precipitation will continue into Wednesday and most of west central Texas will clear out on Thursday.

The best chances for wintry precipitation will be from the Abilene area to the north and west towards Snyder, Roby, Haskell, and Aspermont. To the south of I-20, liquid precipitation will be more likely especially near Brownwood and Comanche, although on Monday night, there will be a chance of freezing rain even in our southeastern counties.
