...WINTRY PRECIPITATION WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE BIG COUNTRY
AND NORTHERN CONCHO VALLEY...LATE SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...

AFTER A STRONG COLD FRONT MOVES DOWN ACROSS WEST CENTRAL TEXAS
EARLY SUNDAY MORNING...MUCH COLDER AIR WILL MOVE INTO OUR AREA. A
STRONG UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE
SOUTHWESTERN STATES AND NORTHERN MEXICO SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT...
BEFORE TRACKING TOWARD TEXAS ON MONDAY. ON SUNDAY NIGHT...
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO DROP INTO THE 20S ACROSS THE BIG
COUNTRY...AND INTO THE 30S FARTHER SOUTH. THE APPROACH OF THIS
SYSTEM WILL BRING A GOOD CHANCE OF RAIN SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS TO THE NORTHWEST HILL COUNTRY AND HEARTLAND...LATE
SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY. DURING THAT SAME TIME PERIOD...SOME
FREEZING RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE AREA ROUGHLY NORTH OF A
LINE FROM STERLING CITY TO ROBERT LEE TO CROSS PLAINS. A MIX OF
FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET MAY OCCUR IN THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN BIG
COUNTRY. SOME THUNDER WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE BIG
COUNTRY.

AT THIS TIME...THERE IS CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY ON HOW MUCH
MOISTURE WILL BE AVAILABLE ACROSS THE NORTHERN CONCHO VALLEY AND
BIG COUNTRY WHEN THE STORM SYSTEM APPROACHES. THIS WILL BE A
CRITICAL FACTOR IN HOW MUCH PRECIPITATION CAN OCCUR ACROSS THAT
AREA...WHERE TEMPERATURES WOULD BE COLD ENOUGH FOR WINTER
PRECIPITATION TO OCCUR.

PEOPLE ACROSS WEST CENTRAL TEXAS...ESPECIALLY THE BIG COUNTRY
AND CONCHO VALLEY...ARE ENCOURAGED TO CHECK THE LATEST FORECASTS
AND WEATHER INFORMATION...ON THE POTENTIAL FOR WINTER
PRECIPITATION SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY.
