THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN HOUSTON/GALVESTON HAS ISSUED A WINTER STORM WARNING FOR SNOW...SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM NOON TODAY TO NOON CST FRIDAY. THE WINTER STORM WATCH IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT. AN UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM APPROACHING FROM THE WEST WILL COMBINE WITH INCREASING MOISTURE AND COLD TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER ATMOSPHERE TO GENERATE A MIX OF SNOW...SLEET...AND FREEZING RAIN ACROSS SOUTHEAST TEXAS THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING. THE PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON NEAR THE COAST...AND SPREAD AREA WIDE BY EVENING. THE WINTRY MIX WILL CONTINUE THURSDAY NIGHT THEN TAPER OFF LATE MORNING FRIDAY. PRECIPITATION TYPE: VERY LIGHT SNOW AND SLEET IS EXPECTED AT THE ONSET OF THE EVENT THURSDAY ACROSS ALL OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS. THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY MORNING...A MIX OF SLEET AND SNOW IS EXPECTED TO THE WEST OF A LINE FROM MATAGORDA TO DOWNTOWN HOUSTON TO NORTHERN LIBERTY COUNTY...WITH ALL SNOW ACROSS THE NORTHWEST HALF OF THE AREA. EAST OF THIS LINE...FREEZING RAIN IS EXPECTED TO MIX IN WITH THE SLEET AND SNOW MAINLY BEFORE MIDNIGHT. OVER SOUTHERN BRAZORIA... SOUTHERN GALVESTON...CHAMBERS...AND SOUTHERN LIBERTY COUNTIES MOSTLY ICE IS EXPECTED. AFTER MIDNIGHT THESE AREAS MAY HAVE A SLEET AND SNOW MIX. FREEZING RAIN MIXED WITH SLEET AND SNOW MAY STILL BE POSSIBLE FOR MOST OF CHAMBERS COUNTY AND SOUTHERN MOST GALVESTON COUNTY INCLUDING GALVESTON ISLAND. PRECIPITATION MAY CONTINUE TO CHANGE OVER TO ALL SNOW AFTER 6AM FRIDAY EXCEPT FOR THE IMMEDIATE COAST WHERE SLEET MAY MIX WITH THE SNOW. PRECIPITATION SHOULD COME TO AN END NEAR OR SHORTLY AFTER NOON FRIDAY. AMOUNTS: IN THE SNOW AND SLEET AREA...ACCUMULATIONS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES ARE EXPECTED WITH ISOLATED TOTALS AROUND 4 INCHES. THE BEST CHANCE OF 4 INCH ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE ACROSS THE PINEY WOODS AND LAKES AREA OF EAST TEXAS. IN THE FREEZING RAIN THREAT AREA...ICE ACCUMULATIONS OF 1/10 TO 1/4 INCH ARE EXPECTED. IMPACTS: DUE TO EVAPORATIVE COOLING IN THE VERY DRY AIRMASS... TEMPERATURES WILL RUN 5 TO 7 DEGREES COLDER WITH THIS EVENT THAN DURING THE LAST FEW WINTER WEATHER EVENTS TO IMPACT THIS AREA. THESE COLDER TEMPERATURES WILL RESULT IN A MUCH HIGHER LIKELIHOOD OF ROADS BECOMING ICED OVER...EVEN WITH LIGHT PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS. THIS WILL ESPECIALLY BE THE CASE WITH ELEVATED SURFACES LIKE BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES. ROAD CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO DETERIORATE BEGINNING AROUND SUNSET THURSDAY. IN ADDITION...POWER OUTAGES WILL BE POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY IN THE FREEZING RAIN THREAT AREA. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... ROADS...BRIDGES...AND OVERPASSES IN THE WATCH AREA MAY BECOME SLICK AND HAZARDOUS. ACCUMULATION OF SNOW OR ICE ON ROADWAYS... BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES MAY MAKE TRAVEL TREACHEROUS.

Srain Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Jeff is sticking to his guns... ***Winter Storm Warning issued for all of SE TX, coastal bend, S TX, and SW LA*** Historic winter storm event within 8-12 hours of starting. Do not think we will get the entire evening rush hour in before the event starts. I will begin hourly updates starting at 100pm this afternoon. Discussion: Powerful upper level low continues to dig into northern Mexico this morning with increasing moisture clearly noted on radar and satellite images. Starting to get a few returns on the radar images this morning, but very dry sub-cloud layer is evaporating prior to the precip. reaching the ground..this process will continue for the morning before the low levels saturate and then the main show begins. Looks at the forecast soundings this morning, still believe the best course of action is to go with more sleet and snow than ice and will go ahead and bump snowfall totals up a tad across the entire area to fit with more snow than sleet/freezing rain. Timing: Starting to see some light sleet over Galveston Island in the last hour and echoes on the radar are increasing along the US 59 corridor and down around Corpus Christi. So far only GLS has reported anything reaching the ground as that low level air mass is very dry. Expect to see the radar echoes intensify this morning and saturate the low levels first on the coast and then spreading inland. It is very hard to determine how long it will take to bring the low levels to saturation, but once that point is reached precip. will reach the ground. Will go with onset of precip. reaching the ground 1-2pm along the coast and 300-400pm along US 59 including metro Houston and then all regions by 600pm. Road conditions will deteriorate very quickly once precip onsets with road temperatures at or below freezing both on bridges/overpasses and on surface streets. Accumulations: Will hit the entire area with 1-3 inches this includes the coastal bend, all of SE TX and into SW LA. Feel along and about 40-50 miles NW of US 59 is where the greatest totals will be with isolated amounts upwards of 4-5 inches possible. The only location where some freezing rain may fall is right along the coast from Freeport to Galveston Island and then inland toward southern Liberty County…will go with ice accumulations of .1-.25 of an inch in this region and then an inch of snow on top of the ice. Models continue to advertise convective nature to the event supporting the threat of meso bands with heavy snow. SPC has in fact placed a large part of the area under a thunderstorm risk for tonight supporting the threat for some convective events within the overall snow shield. It is likely that everyone will see some accumulation, but where the biggest totals will be is nearly impossible to predict under the event is underway. Temperatures: Expect temperatures to hover at or below freezing all day and then in the mid to upper 20’s tonight and below freezing all day on Friday. May see a few locations rise to near 32-35 for an hour Friday afternoon if skies clear, but a rapid fall Friday night under clearings skies and light winds…with snow cover will result in lows back into the low 20’s for nearly all areas. Travel: Extremely dangerous travel conditions will be developing across the entire region and by early evening surface travel will be difficult. Travel on Friday will be nearly impossible and all residents are being urged to drive only if it is an emergency. Do not expect roads to recover until maybe sometime on Saturday afternoon. Ground crews will attempt to keep sanding operations ongoing, but given the size of this event will quickly be overwhelmed Aviation: It is going to get bad at the airports and suspect ground operations will not be able to keep the airports open. Continental has already cancelled all operations starting at 300pm today until noon Friday. Aircraft that depart will require extensive de-icing operations and snow removal operations for runways. Suspect at some point likely tonight that these operations will be suspended due to the storm intensity. Power: ERCOT has ordered another round of rotating blackouts from 600-800am this morning to conserve power on the TX grid. With more of a threat of snow/sleet feel that most power infrastructure will be OK during this event, except near the coast and Galveston bay where freezing rain may be possible with some ice accumulations.
