Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* Light snow and wintry mix will continue this morning as the upper level low drifts out of the area. The precipitation should be out of here by midday with clouds sticking around most of the remainder of the day before slowly breaking up overnight. So far this morning we've seen anywhere from 1/2" to 1" of snow across the area. Roads so far are ok at the time of this blog update but the bridges are a bit slippery so give yourself plenty of time going to your morning destinations. Highs today will eventually rise from at and near freezing this morning into the middle and upper 40s this afternoon. A very cold night ahead with lows dipping into the middle and middle 20s for everyone. Tomorrow looks ok but we'll see clouds increasing late day ahead of the next storm that brings more wintry weather.
* The next storm brings the chance for winter precipitation late this week as an upper level disturbance in northwest flow aloft will move across the area come late Thursday and Friday. Light snow is expected to develop across much of the area Thursday night and into Friday as the disturbance moves across the area . Models indicate a few inches of snow could fall out of this system and we'll tweek the forecast based on new data.
* Winter Outlook: The Climate Prediction Center indicates a moderate El Niño pattern is taking shape and will bring West Central Texas a wetter pattern for the winter months. There is also a chance for increased winter precipitation depending on temperature trends. Data suggests equal chances of above or below normal temperatures, so more than likely the numbers will remain near normal for this time of year.
