Special Weather Statement
An arctic cold front pushes into west Texas and southeast New
Mexico Friday morning. Temperatures fall throughout the day Friday
as bitterly cold air filters in. By Saturday morning, temperatures
are currently forecast to range within the teens and 20s across
much of the region, then struggle to warm beyond freezing during
the afternoon. Saturday night will be the coldest in the forecast,
as temperatures dip into the single digits and teens, with wind
chills near to below zero within the Permian Basin and much of the
Trans Pecos. Highs Sunday are again forecast to be near to below
the freezing mark before slipping into the teens and single digits
Sunday night. Temperatures look to finally rise above freezing
Monday afternoon.
Precipitation chances accompany these very cold conditions Friday
through early Sunday. Details on exact timing, accumulations, and
precipitation type remain uncertain at this time, through periods
and mixes of freezing rain, sleet, and snow are all on the table.
Widespread freezing rain and sleet is possible Friday night into
Saturday, before mixing with and eventually transitioning into
snow Saturday evening into early Sunday. Wintry precipitation
accumulations, even if light, will lead to hazardous road
conditions.
Please continue to monitor forecasts and prepare for dangerously
cold temperatures and possible winter weather this weekend.
