Local weather said we might be near zero Monday night and close to 6" of snow. Said it had been over 30 years since we had weather like this and would definitely set records.
This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for South-Central Texas..
.DAY ONE...This Afternoon And Tonight.
Temperatures will remain below freezing from the Edwards Plateau,
across the Hill Country and I-35 corridor to the US Highway 77
corridor. Patchy freezing drizzle will develop after midnight. As
a result, many roadways, especially bridges and overpasses, will
continue to have icy areas. Travel is discouraged across these
areas this afternoon into tonight.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday.
Winter Storm Warnings and Watches are in effect for the entire
region for Saturday through Monday morning.
An upper level disturbance will bring freezing rain Saturday into
Saturday evening mainly along and north of U.S. 90 and I-10.
Light ice accumulations are possible, especially on bridges and
overpasses, making travel difficult. Additional power outages
could be possible in areas where ongoing ice is unable to melt.
A stronger disturbance will bring heavier precipitation to our
area as well as much colder air late Sunday into Monday. Rain and
freezing rain will turn to sleet and then snow. New ice
accumulations of 1/10 inch, as well as snow accumulations of 1 to
3 inches are expected. Significant disruptions to travel are
expected.
A final round of wintry precipitation is forecast Tuesday night
into Wednesday.
Bitterly cold air is forecast Sunday through Tuesday, with record
low temperatures expected. Much of the Hill Country will remain
below freezing tonight through at least Wednesday morning. The
rest of the area will remain below freezing Sunday night through
midday Tuesday. Low temperatures in the single digits to around
20 are forecast Monday and Tuesday mornings. Wind chill values
will be even colder, ranging from -10 to 10 degrees both mornings.
A Wind Chill Advisory may be required.
Now is the time to prepare for this hard freeze and winter
precipitation.
