Special Weather Statement
Statement as of 4:03 AM CST on February 09, 2010
... Wintry weather expected Wednesday night through Thursday night...
Another storm system will approach the area by midweek bringing a chance for snow and a wintry mix with it. While there is still some uncertainty as to the speed and track of the evolving system... which could significantly affect the thermal profile for snow production... overall confidence in this storm system continues to increase. As the precipitation begins to fall Wednesday night with surface temperatures near or slightly below freezing... a mix of rain and snow is expected. However... a change over to all snow appears highly possible during the day on Thursday north of a line from Killeen to Waco to Athens.
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.
Significant impacts could occur Thursday night as temperatures fall back below freezing. This could result in icy Road conditions due to residual water freezing on the roadways. Icy roads would likely persist into Friday morning.
