A WINTER STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM MIDNIGHT CST TONIGHT
THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING.
LIGHT SLEET OR RAIN IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP LATE THURSDAY EVENING
ACROSS THE WESTERN PART OF NORTH TEXAS. THE PRECIPITATION WILL
SPREAD EAST OVERNIGHT CHANGING TO A MIX OF RAIN AND FREEZING
RAIN. THE BEST CHANCES OF FREEZING RAIN WILL BE ALONG AND
NORTHWEST OF A LINE FROM LAMPASAS...HILLSBORO....MESQUITE...TO
SULPHUR SPRINGS. TEMPERATURES INITIALLY ABOVE FREEZING WILL DROP
BELOW FREEZING WHEN THE PRECIPITATION BEGINS. TEMPERATURES WILL
LIKELY REMAIN BELOW FREEZING THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS AND THERE
MAY BE ENOUGH ACCUMULATION TO IMPACT TRAVEL...ESPECIALLY IN THE
WESTERN AND NORTHERN COUNTIES. CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE MID TO
LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON AS TEMPERATURES WARM ABOVE FREEZING AND THE
SYSTEM MOVES EAST.
A WINTER STORM WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT
SNOW...SLEET...OR ICE ACCUMULATIONS THAT MAY IMPACT TRAVEL.
