A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for the Hill Country and southern Edwards Plateau. Freezing rain is forecast late tonight into Thursday morning and again Thursday night into Friday morning. 1/10 of an inch of ice accumulation is forecast on mainly bridges, less traveled roads, trees, and metal objects. Slick roads are forecast leading to minor travel impacts.
1/10 of an inch of ice accumulation is forecast on mainly bridges, less traveled roads, trees, and metal objects. There is a low chance (20%) of isolated accumulations up to 1/4 inch.
The cold rain will be unpleasant for those outdoors, but the good news is the rainfall will be welcome for the drought-stricken region. Near widespread rainfall amounts between 1/2 inch and 2 inches are forecast, with heavier amounts along and east of the I-35 corridor.
A mix of rain and wintry precipitation is possible Thursday into early Friday morning, with the wintry precipitation impacts mainly expected over portions of the Hill Country & Edwards Plateau. A few areas could see locally heavy downpours over 2 inches. Dry weather and cooler than normal temperatures will resume Friday and continue through early next week.
