WarningDesc:Special Weather Statement
WarningDate:3:30 PM CST on February 8, 2010
WarningSum:...Cold Tonight Then Wintry Weather Expected Across Much Of North
Texas Early Thursday Into Thursday Night...
Warning Message:A strong cold front will move through North Texas tonight with
north winds increasing to 15 to 25 mph. All of the precipitation
will have moved east of the area by the time temperatures fall to
below freezing during the overnight hours. Low temperatures will
fall to between 24 and 29 degrees across most of North Texas...so
any residual water on area roads will likely freeze. Patchy ice is
likely to form during the overnight and early morning
hours...making roads slick. Wind chills will be in the low teens
early Tuesday morning.
Another storm system will approach the area by midweek while
temperatures remain cold across the region. It appears at this
time that sufficient moisture will move northward in advance of
this system for snowfall to occur across much of North Texas
during the day Thursday into Thursday evening. While there is
still some uncertainty as to the speed and track of the evolving
system...which could significantly affect the thermal profile
favorable for snow production...overall confidence in this storm
system is increasing.
Areas north of a Killeen to Waco to Athens line appear to have
the best chance for accumulating snows during the day Thursday.
Temperatures at the surface will be at or slightly above freezing
at the onset of the event...which means that snow will likely melt
initially...then accumulate as heavier bands develop. At this time
it appears that accumulations of 1 to 3 inches will be possible.
Uncertainty in the exact track and speed of this system could
significantly affect snowfall accumulation totals.
Residents of North Texas and motorists traveling across the
region on Thursday should stay informed of the latest weather
