Moisture Ends Tonight - Icy Wednesday Morning

From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...

As of 9:30pm Tuesday night, the moisture was decreasing from west to east across the Big Country. We were still receiving light sleet and even some snowflakes at KRBC but westward toward Sweetwater and Snyder, the precipitation had ended. It is likely that the sleet will continue across the area from San Angelo to Coleman to Brownwood into the early morning hours of Wednesday but end well before sunrise.

Speaking of sunrise, we may actually get to see it, unless low clouds build back in due to the moisture. Fog is also possible tonight.

The main issue, obviously, will be the icy roads and the question of when thawing begins.

At this time, it looks like we should climb back above freezing between 9am and 11am Wednesday, and by late afternoon, the roads will be drying. Travel will be at its worst through 10am, then improve rapidly afterwards.

Expect temperatures near 50 in the sunshine Wednesday afternoon, but also expect another plunge to near 22 Wednesday night.

Dry weather is on tap Thursday through the weekend as temperatures slowly get back into the low 60's for the weekend.
