As the memories of the Christmas Eve snow fade away, we are tracking our next weather system that will bring us another shot of wintry weather. However, this time around, it looks like more of a sleet/freezing rain event for Central Texas. Timing shows the precipitation starting Tuesday morning and lasting throughout the day. Temperatures will be key on what kind of precipitation we see. If we can manage to stay above freezing, it will just be a cold rain. If we fall below freezing, more of it will be freezing rain and sleet. Do not think we will see snow since the profile of the atmosphere does not look that great for it. This event could cause some travel impacts since we are talking more icy conditions, especially late Tuesday into Wednesday morning. You will want to stay tuned for updates as this event gets closer.
