Keep an eye to our W. Radar trends suggests that moisture is filling in rather nicely SW of San Antonio. The entire system is moving ESE from far W TX...

Moisture won't be a problem.

You're not quite on the coast there, rnmmm. In fact you're just about ten miles south of me. You may see a flake or two later.

Heavy snow falling along I-35 from N of San Antonio to Waco moving eastward toward SE TX. Webcams show great big flakes (around the size of a half dollar) leading to quick accumulations in the heavy bursts. Heavy sleet was reported the last hour in College Station and Hearne, TX had about 1.5” on the ground of snow.

Slowly but surely the RA/SN line is marching SE and will enter into our NW counties shortly. Convective looking radar out of C TX supports very heavy snowfall rates of 1-2” per hour with quick accumulations even with surface temperatures above freezing as noted thus far along I-35 with visibilities dropping below .25 of a mile in very heavy snow. Radar SW of HOU shows increasing echoes which will help start cooling the lower air column. May see some IP/RA mix over the metro area this afternoon and then the change to SN/RA mix late afternoon/early evening.

Will not mess with accumulations at this time as the event is unfolding, although overall totals will be hard to determine as much will melt on impact and between the heavy snow bursts. Will let the previous accumulations go forward…a lot of us will see snow, but many will not see much on the ground…if only for a short while.

Still looking like there could be issues early Wednesday morning as the freezing line get deeper into the area and meltwater begins to freeze into a glaze on area bridges/overpasses. Not sure exactly where the 32F line will end up…but current indications place it from just N of Wharton to Katy to Kingwood to Liberty…north of that will likely see any water freeze up.
