Light freezing rain or a mix of freezing rain is expected late tonight across the southern TX Panhandle and adjacent portions of the South Plains and Rolling Plains, which may result in light ice accumulation and slippery roads. A cold rain is expected elsewhere.
Areas of fog and drizzle will plague the region this morning. Where temperatures are at or slightly below 32 degrees, freezing fog and freezing drizzle will affect the southwest Texas Panhandle and northern South Plains. Leave extra time if traveling this morning. Conditions will improve this afternoon, but it will remain cool, with highs only reaching the upper 30s to middle 40s.
Prospects for rain and freezing rain will continue late tonight and into Wednesday morning. The best potential for freezing drizzle and light freezing rain will be across the far southern Texas Panhandle, and portions of the northern and central South and Rolling Plains. A cold rain/drizzle is forecast elsewhere across the Rolling Plains and onto portions of the southern South Plains. Fog and freezing fog will also be possible heading into Wednesday morning. Black ice may develop.
The parade of cold fronts will continue, with one moving through Wednesday afternoon and another on Saturday afternoon. Ahead of the fronts, temperatures will moderate into the 50s and 60s, but will fall back 10 to 20 degrees behind each front. Drier weather will be common by Wednesday afternoon and persist the rest of the week.
