Winter Weather Possible by Tuesday

From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...

Ready for more winter weather? The forecast is getting more interesting all the time.

First, the long advertised rain stays in the forecast from Monday night through Wednesday.

Secondly, there is going to be a slow push of Arctic air arriving late day Monday and lingering through Wednesday. Temperatures are forecast to be in the upper 20's Tuesday morning and stay in the low to mid 30's Tuesday and the middle 20's Tuesday night. Any rain which falls could possibly freeze to surfaces, especially Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.
We're still looking at light rain totals but if it's freezing rain, we could experience some travel trouble Tuesday into Wednesday.

Be sure to check our news and weather pages on Bigcountryhomepage.com for the latest advisories and updates. Here is my forecast for the Abilene area:
