Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* Going to keep this short and focus on the main forecast event for the next 48 hours. An Arctic cold front continues to move through the Big Country this morning bringing cold weather into the area. Moisture is moving in from the south and southeast along a semi-warm front. This moisture and the warmer air will get lifted over the cold air mass. Areas of light rain will develop during the day today. By the late afternoon and early evening, areas of light freezing rain will develop. This threat will last into the night tonight.

* Temperatures will hover around freezing during the day on Tuesday with the threat of freezing rain possible all during the day and into Tuesday night. Tuesday night the temperatures will drop back into the middle 20s. The winter weather threat will come to an end on by the time we get into Wednesday morning.

* Ice accumulations will be possible on bridges and overpasses. A few hundreths of an inch of rain canm create a 1/4" of ice. Remember the event event we dealt with back earlier in the month. Those same concerns will be possible for the roadway.

* Stay tuned to KRBC News and bigcountryhomepage.com throughout the day as this event unfolds and new information comes into the news and weather departments.
