Governor Greg Abbott has activated the state's emergency response resources in preparation for dangerously cold temperatures and potential freezing rain and snow across parts of Texas, including the Concho Valley.

Here's the general thinking as of Tuesday morning. Our northern and northwestern counties should see a faster changeover from freezing rain to mostly sleet and snow, whereas the I20 corridor will see more freezing rain and sleeting before a changeover. Our southern counties are at the greatest risk of seeing ice accumulations.

Even though it's still too early to discuss rain, sleet and ice totals, here's a current outlook of the next system.

For the fourth day in a row, the long-range computer weather models are hinting at a Winter Storm hitting Texas this weekend.

Tuesday afternoon a Winter Storm Watch was issued for Lampasas and Milam Counties from NWS Dallas/Fort Worth for expected wintry precipitation into this weekend. —
