Winter Weather Update 6:45p.m.

From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for Stephens, Eastland, Comanche and Brown counties through Wedensday evening.

The National Weather Service has also issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Throckmorton, Shackelford, Callahan and Coleman counties through Wednesday evening.

A Winter Storm Warning is issued when significant amounts of snow, sleet and ice are expected, or are occuring, which will make travel very hazardous.

A Winter Weather Advisory means that periods of snow, sleet or freezing rain will cause travel difficulties. Be prepare for slippery roads and limited visibilities.

Here's what I am expecting...

The cold front will push through the Big Country overnight. Temperatures will hold in the lower 20s through the morning Wednesday, then drop into the teens by late afternoon. Precipitation chances will begin by late morning across the entire area. I expect that the Western, Northern and Central Big Country will only see flurries. The Eastern and Southeastern viewing area will see freezing rain quickly changing over to sleet, with perhaps a little bit of snow.

The best chance for accumulating ice and or snow will more than likely be in the extreme Eastern portions of the viewing area and the extreme Southeaster portions.
