Warnings and Notices

	Winter Weather Advisory
Statement as of 12:07 PM CST on December 23, 2009 ... Winter Weather Advisory in effect from 6 am Wednesday to midnight CST Wednesday night... The National Weather Service in Amarillo has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for snow and blowing snow... which is in effect from 6 am Wednesday to midnight CST Wednesday night for the southwest... south central... and parts of the northern Texas Panhandle. * Timing: light rain late tonight is expected to change over to light snow on Wednesday. Periods of light to occasionally moderate snow will continue during the day Wednesday before slowly tapering off late Wednesday night. * Main impact: snowfall accumulations of 1 to 3 inches combined with north winds of 20 to 30 mph with higher gusts will likely cause areas of blowing snow by Wednesday evening. Visibilities will also be reduced to near one quarter of a mile at times. As a result... hazardous travel conditions are anticipated across the area Wednesday and Wednesday night. * Other impacts: the strong north winds will cause wind chills to fall to around zero Thursday morning. In addition... areas of blowing snow may continue into Thursday even after the snow ends. Precautionary/preparedness actions... A Winter Weather Advisory means that periods of snow... sleet... or freezing rain will cause travel difficulties. Be prepared for slippery roads and limited visibilities... and use caution while driving.

	Special Weather Statement
Statement as of 3:20 PM CST on December 22, 2009 ... Accumulating snow possible for the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles Wednesday through Thursday... A winter storm system will move across the southwestern United States tonight and through the southern rockies Wednesday. A reinforcing surge of colder air will move through the panhandles on Wednesday. In advance of the system... moisture will be on the increase across the panhandles. The storm system will combine with the cold and moist air to bring a chance of snow to the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles. It appears that the greatest potential for accumulating snow will occur Wednesday afternoon through Thursday morning... with all of the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles receiving some snow. A Winter Weather Advisory for snow and blowing snow has been issued for the Oklahoma Panhandle... and also for the north central and northwest Texas Panhandle from late tonight through Wednesday evening where the greatest snow accumulations are expected. In addition to the snow... strong northerly winds are expected mainly Wednesday afternoon through Thursday which may result in areas of blowing snow... low visibilities... and low wind chill values. Travel may become difficult Wednesday and Thursday especially if you are traveling north. This winter weather event is expected to bring impacts from the Texas Panhandle to North Dakota including most of the central United States. You are encouraged to keep up to date with the latest forecasts from your National Weather Service. Access our website for the latest weather information at www.Srh.NOAA.Gov/Ama.
