... Snowfall may be headed to the panhandles late this weekend...
A large low pressure system in the upper atmosphere along with a
strong cold front may bring snowfall to the panhandles starting as
early as Sunday morning. The cold front should move into the Oklahoma
and northern Texas panhandles early Sunday morning... then push
quickly to the south by noon. Cold air behind the front along with
moist air in place should set the stage for increasing chances for
snowfall. The best chances for snow will be Sunday night through
Monday morning.
Snow accumulations are still highly uncertain at this time... however
the current indications are for 3 to 5 inches of snow across the
Oklahoma and northern Texas panhandles. Lighter accumulations of
2 inches or less will be possible across the central and southern
Texas Panhandle.
Also... breezy north winds behind the front may create blowing or
drifting snow in the areas of greater snow accumulations.
Please stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio... or the National Weather
Service web site at www.Srh.NOAA.Gov/Ama for any updates related to
this system.
