Winter Weather Threat for Thursday
We have been talking about the chance for wintry weather this week since the end of last week. Now, the computer models are coming into agreement and all signs point to a very good chance of seeing snow, sleet, and freezing rain across Central Texas. The graphic above is a forecast that indicates an above 40% chance of seeing over 4 inches of snow from Waco northward and westward. Since we are still a few days out, we don’t know exactly where or how much snow will fall but confidence is growing that it might be somewhere in Central Texas. One of the key factors will be temperatures since we may be a degree or two above freezing during the day on Thursday. However, Thursday morning and Friday morning, we will be below freezing so those are our windows for picking up accumulating snow.
Our current thinking is from a Burnet, Temple, Marlin, Fairfield line and points north is where the highest chance for wintry weather will be. This means Waco, Temple, and Killeen are included in this area. As more data comes in, we will get a better handle on this storm. We may even see Winter Weather watches or advisories issued late Tuesday into Wednesday. — First Alert 25 Meteorologist Conley Isom
