A wintry mixture of snow, sleet and rain is possible this afternoon over the western portions of the Big Country and the northwestern areas of the Concho Valley. Some very light accumulations are possible mainly on grassy surfaces as well as bridges and overpasses. Elsewhere, precipitation is expected to remain mostly rain but some sleet could mix in at times late this afternoon as the upper low moves closer. A mixture of light rain and snow will be possible during the overnight hours mainly over the Big Country, Heartland and Northern Concho Valley as moisture wraps around the upper system. At

this time little or no accumulation is expected.
