Winter Weather Update 12:45p.m.

From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...

I probably don't have to tell you this, but it is bitterly cold outside. Temperatures across the Big Country are in the teens, and I don't expect that to change for at least another 24 hours from now.

As far as winter precipitation, we have seen a little bit of freezing rain/sleet in extreme Eastern Comanche county and some snow in extreme Northeastern Throckmorton county. As of now, that is it. I do expect another round of precipitation to threaten the Easter viewing area this afternoon, but for the most part, I expect the worst travel conditions to be East of our area and into the Metroplex. Also South of Dallas, on Interstate 35, travel will be hazardous as well.

Our "ticker" will be running constantly throughout the day and night on KRBC to keep you updated on the current conditions and forecasts across the area.

Please, use extra caution, SLOW DOWN, and bundle up when going outdoors for the next couple of days.

Here are the current warnings and advisories from The National Weather Service...
