Statement as of 5:15 AM CST on December 23, 2012

... Winter weather outlook for December 25th...

A strong storm system will move across the region on Christmas
day. Based on the latest forecast data... there will be a good
chance of a cold rain on Christmas day across north and central
Texas. Along and to the north of I-20... atmospheric profiles will
become cold enough for the rain to mix with or change over to snow
during the afternoon and evening hours. Snowfall accumulations of
1 to 2 inches will be possible along and north of a Bowie... to
McKinney... to Emory line. Just to the south of this line... only
trace to light accumulations of snow are expected at this time.

There still remains a great deal of uncertainty regarding the
exact track of the storm system and the amounts of any associated
wintry precipitation. If the track of the system were to shift
farther south... the potential for higher snowfall accumulations
across the region would increase and the rain/snow line would also
shift farther to the south.

Bottom line... wintry precipitation is forecast for the area
roughly along and north of the I-20 corridor during the
afternoon and evening hours of Christmas day and night. Some snow
accumulations of up to 2 inches are possible along and north of a
Bowie... to McKinney... to Emory line. Please continue to monitor
the latest forecast updates in the coming days as the forecast may
change.
