... Winter Storm Warning in effect from 6 PM Friday to 9 am CST Saturday...
The National Weather Service in Lake Charles has issued a Winter Storm Warning for excessive snowfall... which is in effect from 6 PM Friday to 9 am CST Saturday. The Winter Storm Watch is no longer in effect.
Rain will change to a rain/snow mixture by mid afternoon Friday... changing over to all snow by Friday evening. Accumulations of 1.5 to 2 inches are likely... with localized amounts up to 3 inches possible... especially across interior southeast Texas. The snow will be ending from west to east across the region after midnight.
Travelers are urged to take caution Friday afternoon through Saturday morning. Temperatures are expected to fall below freezing after midnight through shortly after sunrise Saturday. Thus... any remaining snow or moisture remaining across bridges and elevated roadways will likely freeze during this time and create areas of black ice... which is very hazardous to travel across.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A Winter Storm Warning means significant amounts of snow over 2 inches within 12 hours is expected... which will make travel very hazardous or impossible.
