NIGHT…WITH THERMAL PROFILES SUGGESTING THAT ANY SNOW WOULD PROBABLY HOLD OFF UNTIL MONDAY MORNING. ONLY LIGHT AMOUNTS OF SNOW ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE NORTH…WITH LITTLE TO NO ACCUMULATION EXPECTED DUE TO WARM NEAR SURFACE TEMPERATURES.
———–
STORM SYSTEM THAT WILL LIKELY AFFECT THE TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA
PANHANDLES SUNDAY AND MONDAY. THIS SYSTEM WAS LOCATED OFF THE
CALIFORNIA COAST EARLY THIS EVENING…AND WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AS
IT TRACKS ACROSS THE WESTERN UNITED STATES.
WHILE THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY CONCERNING THE TRACK AND
TIMING…FORECAST CONFIDENCE CONTINUES TO IMPROVE REGARDING THE
LIKELIHOOD OF MEASURABLE SNOWFALL. EARLY PROJECTIONS SUPPORT SNOWFALL
TOTALS OF ONE TO THREE INCHES ACROSS PARTS OF THE PANHANDLES.
THE BIG QUESTION IS WHEN WILL THE TEMPERATURE PROFILES BE CONDUCIVE
FOR PRODUCING SNOW. GIVEN THE SLOWER SPEED OF THIS WINTER STORM…
COLD RAIN MAY PERSIST LONGER THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. THIS SLOWER
TIMING COULD DECREASE THE POTENTIAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS. IF THE
TRANSITION FROM RAIN TO SNOW OCCURS EARLIER…ACCUMULATIONS WILL
LIKELY INCREASE.
AGAIN…THE CHANCE OF SNOW HAS IMPROVED FOR SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY.
WITH SNOW DEVELOPMENT POSSIBLY LINGERING INTO MONDAY…HAZARDOUS
TRAVEL CONDITIONS COULD PERSIST INTO MONDAY…AFFECTING THE
MORNING DRIVE.
