Warnings and Notices

	Winter Storm Watch
Statement as of 7:26 PM CST on December 23, 2009 ... Winter Storm Watch remains in effect from Thursday afternoon through Friday evening... A Winter Storm Watch remains in effect from Thursday afternoon through Friday evening. ... Winter Storm Watch... * long term trends... the precipitation should switch to mainly rain late tonight before transitioning back to a wintry mix and eventually all snow late Thursday. Once it does the snow may be heavy and wind blown... especially into Friday when the winds increase. * Storm total snow accumulations... by the time the precipitation diminishes Saturday... nine to twelve inches of snow is expected. * Winds... brisk east winds of 15 to 25 mph will be common today into Thursday. By Friday... winds will become northwest at 25 to 35 mph with higher gusts. * Visibility... during the periods of heavier snow late Thursday and Friday... visibilities will generally be less than one mile and even down to a quarter mile during the heaviest snows. With increasing winds and snow coincident by Friday... blowing snow and greatly reduced visibilities near blizzard conditions are expected by that time especially west of Interstate 35. * Impacts... travel will become increasingly difficult in the watch area on on Christmas eve night and Christmas day as snow accumulates and winds increase. In the heaviest snow areas... travel may become nearly impossible due to blowing and drifting snow Thursday night into Friday. Precautionary/preparedness actions... A Winter Storm Watch means there is a potential for significant snow... sleet... or ice accumulations that may impact travel. Continue to monitor the latest forecasts. Cogil
