Wintry Mix

From Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly

It was a warmer day yesterday- at least we made it into the 30’s! We hit 32 degrees, the first time we had hit that warm of a temperature since Friday evening. Yesterday morning many in the Big Country woke up to snow covered roads with some places seeing the snow showers still falling. Places recorded anywhere from a few hundredths of an inch of snow to up to 4-6 inches, with the bulk of the activity staying in our Eastern and Southern counties. Right now the entire Big Country under a Winter Storm Watch as round three of the winter activity will be beginning tonight.

Today, we will finally get some warmer temperatures getting into the lower 40’s. However it won’t be lasting long as a cold front pushes back through this evening. We will see periods of freezing drizzle, freezing fog with the activity changing to a chance for rain by this afternoon. The main activity should begin into the overnight where we could rain, freezing rain and evening some sleet or snow mixing in. Overnight temperatures will drop to around 30 degrees.

Tomorrow we will continue the activity with a chance for rain, sleet or possibility some snow mixed in. The best chance the snow activity towards the northern counties during this event. Temperatures will be in the lower 30’s with overnight lows in the upper 20’s. This activity should continue until Saturday with most activity changing to sleet and snow. Saturday’s temperatures will be much like Friday however Sunday we might be able to get some sunshine in the forecast and warm the temperatures into the upper 30’s.

Monday and Tuesday we bring the temperatures into the lower 40’s and again bring back the chance for a wintry mix.

Stay warm and drive careful!
