Nice to see the trend continues southward. Will be interesting to see where the changeover line actually sets up this afternoon!

Has the timing changed or are we still looking at 4/5 pm for some winter mischief?

Sunday morning weather briefing from Jeff:

A memorable snow event likely for portions of SE TX today.

Winter Weather Advisory issued for Austin, Waller, and Montgomery Counties.

Changes overnight have been the continued south shifts of the track of the upper level low and the associated cold pocket aloft that will transition current rainfall to rain/snow mix and in some areas a complete change to all snow. With these changes, an advisory has been added to the row of counties south of the warning area for accumulations of snow of 1-2 inches this afternoon and evening. South of the advisory area across Harris County and the metro area rain/snow mix may extend to I-10 and maybe a bit south of I-10, but any accumulations are expected to be brief and mainly on elevated surface such as rooftops and grassy areas.

Travel in the warning area will become hazardous by mid to late afternoon as snowfall rates increase due to convective banding. Expect ice on bridges and overpasses and surface streets to become snow covered and slushy as snowfall rates overwhelm the warm ground temperatures resulting in accumulations. Additionally, temperatures in that area will cool toward the freezing mark increasing accumulations,

Forecast Accumulations:

NW of a line from Brenham to Huntsville to Trinity (Winter Storm Warning area):

Transition to all snow this afternoon. Widespread amounts of 1-4 inches with isolated totals of 6-8 inches possible. Hazardous travel developing and lasting into Monday morning.

NW of a line from Sealy to Cypress to The Woodlands to Porter:

Rain/snow mix this afternoon possibly transitioning to all snow this evening. Accumulations of 1-2 inches possible on elevated and grassy surfaces. Travel concerns are minimal.

South of I-10:

Mostly rain with a few flakes of snow mixed in. No travel concerns.

Keep an eye on bright banding radar returns indicating sleet and or melting snow not far from the surface. Magnolia is not too far from my Klein area!
