Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...* From the NWS/San Angelo: Bands of light to briefly moderate snow will continue across West Central Texas through sunrise mainly along and north of a Ballinger to Brownwood line. This area includes the cities of Abilene and Brownwood. but does not include San Angelo and Sweetwater. Additional totals will remain at less than one half inch for most areas. However, this snow will fall across areas that are still recovering from the ice and snow earlier in the week and may again create hazardous driving conditions. The snow should end by mid morning. Area roadways, especially bridges and overpasses, wll become slippery with the snowfall. Slow down and use extra caution when driving.
* Snow showers this morning then decreasing clouds into the afternoon. Still a cold day with highs in the middle and upper 20s area wide. A few clouds and cold tonight with lows in the lower 20s. Partly cloudy and warmer with highs in the upper 50s on Saturday and on Sunday. Lows at night into the middle 20s to lower 30s.
