Areas affected...portions of Southwest Texas

Concerning...Winter mixed precipitation=20

Valid 240030Z - 240430Z

SUMMARY...A mix of wintry precipitation will continue across
portions of southwestern and west-central Texas through the next
several hours.

DISCUSSION...Surface observations across southwestern Texas into
west-central Texas are showing a variety of wintry precipitation
types from light snow into the Panhandle to a mix of sleet/freezing
rain closer to the I-20 corridor. 00z sounding data from Amarillo
shows a weakening warm nose above 850mb, which supports the
transition to mostly snow across the Panhandle.=20

RAP forecast soundings along and south of the Red River and along
and north of I-20 continue to show a pronounced warm nose around
850-700 mb through much of the evening into tomorrow morning. This
warmer air atop sub-freezing surface temperatures will support a
predominate precipitation type of mostly light to moderate sleet and
occasional light snow north of I-20, with a transition to light
freezing rain along and south of I-20 where a deeper layer of warm
air aloft resides.
