..SNOWFALL MAY BE HEADED TO THE PANHANDLES TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY
A LARGE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY LOCATED OVER SOUTHWESTERN
ARIZONA AND IS HEADING SOUTHEAST INTO NORTHERN MEXICO. PRECIPITATION
IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OUT AHEAD OF THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND
BEGIN TO IMPACT THE TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA PANHANDLES THIS MORNING.
INITIALLY...LIGHT RAIN IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE WESTERN TEXAS AND
OKLAHOMA PANHANDLES. HOWEVER...COLDER AIR SITUATED IN THE WESTERN
OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST TEXAS PANHANDLE MAY ALLOW FOR A RAIN AND SNOW
MIX WHICH SHOULD THEN TRANSITION TO LIGHT SNOW AFTER 6 AM CST. THIS
COLDER AIR MAY REACH THE SOUTHWEST TEXAS PANHANDLE AND BRING THE RAIN
AND SNOW MIX DURING THE MORNING HOURS.
AT THIS TIME...THE BEST CHANCE FOR SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO
OCCUR ACROSS THE WESTERN TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA PANHANDLES. HOWEVER...
SNOW ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD GENERALLY REMAIN BELOW 1 INCH. A FEW
LOCATIONS IN THE WESTERN TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA PANHANDLES MAY EXPERIENCE
SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES.
ON TUESDAY...THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SHOULD BE POSITIONED IN
NORTHERN MEXICO TRACKING TO THE NORTHEAST TOWARD THE TRANS PECOS
REGION. AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES TO THE NORTHEAST...THERE WILL BE
ANOTHER CHANCE FOR SNOWFALL MAINLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TEXAS
PANHANDLE. ONCE AGAIN...SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO BE
LIGHT. HOWEVER...IF THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES FARTHER NORTH
THAN CURRENTLY ANTICIPATED...THEN HIGHER SNOWFALL TOTALS WILL BE
POSSIBLE.
PLEASE STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO...OR THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE WEB SITE AT WWW.SRH.NOAA.GOV/AMA FOR ANY UPDATES RELATED TO
THIS SYSTEM.
