Hope you got your coats handy. Very cold air will be pouring into the region on stiff north winds today and tonight. Some patchy light rain will be possible across the areas south of a Bellville to Huntsville line and a few flakes of snow or sleet may be possible there.

Precipitation: Patchy light freezing drizzle or ice pellets may fall north of that line this morning but the ground is warm and is unlikely to cause any issues. The exception being any elevated roads or bridges along and north of a line from Caldwell to College Station to Groveton where patchy ice may be possible.

Wind and wind chills will be problem today through Saturday morning.

…Freezing temperatures possible Saturday morning and likely
Sunday morning over inland portions of South Texas…

img_0477

A cold arctic airmass will begin to overspread South Texas
tonight behind a strong cold front. Gusty northerly winds will
continue through Friday night pushing even colder air in and
allowing temperatures to drop to near freezing over some inland
sections…especially over the Northern Brush Country, Northern
Coastal Bend and Victoria Crossroads area. A freeze warning will
likely be needed by Friday afternoon for portions of South Texas.

On Saturday night winds will weaken slightly and with mostly
clear skies even colder conditions are expected. Nearly all of
South Texas away from the coast will see a freeze, with lows the
mid 20s northern areas to upper 20s and lower 30s southern areas.
Areas near the coast will see lows in the mid 30s Sunday morning.
Another freeze warning will likely be needed for Saturday night
and Sunday morning.

Residents in South Texas are strongly urged to stay tuned to NOAA
weather radio…commercial radio…television…or other forms of
communication for information regarding this upcoming cold weather
event from your National Weather Service Weather Forecast Office
in Corpus Christi Texas.

Much colder temperatures can be expected across all of south central Texas beginning Friday and continuing through the upcoming weekend.
