It is working to moisten the low levels...give it a few hours.

Do you mind explaining to this very much so amateur what that means for us at the coast and our neighbors inland?

groves, tx city officials sent a phone recording out a few minutes ago saying for everyone in the city to stay off the roads cause there is a possibility of 1/4 inch of ice tonight...could that really be possible for this area?

Radar echoes are on the increase to our southwest in Ft. Bend County. Good sign that we'll see something tonight. I'm heading to bed soon, though. Hope you all see something tonight. I can wait until morning.

I still have light flurries here. No change in intensity or size, but they are still here.

yes, NWS mentioned the possibility of evaporative cooling once the precip starts falling (they said these could be 5-7 degree drops)
Thanks very much!
