More Snow for Houston Area! Tue. 2/23

This is a special update because of the snow that is expected in the
Houston area and areas northward today (Tuesday into the evening).
If you want to drive north from Houston, be aware that there
will likely be heavy snow and that areas to the north of
Houston are under a WINTER STORM WARNING--there could be heavy
snow...accumulating as early as late afternoon as temperatures drop. My brother
who lives north of Austin has been getting snow already. For Houston,
there will be a rain/snow mix starting this afternoon. As temperatures
drop this evening, icey roads may develop and this could be a problem for
the morning commute on Wednesday. Heavy accumulations are not likely in the
Houston area due to warmer temperatures...main concern is icey roads for the Houston area overnight and early Wednesday. The following is the official advisory
from the National Weather Service.

WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 2 PM THIS
AFTERNOON TO 6 AM CST WEDNESDAY...

AREAS OF LIGHT RAIN WILL DEVELOP LATER THIS MORNING...AND THEN
CHANGE OVER TO A RAIN AND SNOW MIX DURING THE AFTERNOON. MOST
LOCATIONS IN THE ADVISORY SHOULD EXPERIENCE RAIN AND SNOW MIXED
BEFORE 6 PM. WITH THE WARM GROUND IN PLACE...NO SIGNIFICANT SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED DURING THE AFTERNOON. DURING THE
EVENING SNOW MAY BEGIN TO STICK ON GRASSY AREAS AND CAR ROOFS.
THE RAIN AND SNOW MIX MAY CHANGE OVER TO ALL SNOW LATER THIS
EVENING OR AFTER MIDNIGHT. ANY ACCUMULATIONS DURING THE LATE
EVENING THROUGH 3 AM TIME FRAME SHOULD BE MAINLY UNDER ONE INCH
FROM INTERSTATE 10 NORTHWARD. SOME ELEVATED ROADWAYS AND BRIDGES
MAY BECOME ICY ACROSS THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF AUSTIN...WALLER...
HARRIS...AND LIBERTY COUNTIES.

THIS IS A DEVELOPING WINTER WEATHER SITUATION AND IF TEMPERATURES
ARE SLIGHTLY COOLER OR SLIGHTLY WARMER THAN FORECAST COULD HAVE
TREMENDOUS IMPLICATIONS ON WHERE SNOW FALLS AND HOW MUCH WILL
ACCUMULATE.
