Driving in Winter Weather Tips

A potent winter storm will bring an extended period of wintry precipitation to the region this weekend. Precipitation will initially be a mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain, which is then expected to transition to mainly snow across most of the region Saturday afternoon. Freezing rain may continue for a longer period over southern portions of the Rolling Plains, with moderate icing possible there. Otherwise, the heaviest snow totals are expected over northern portions of the Caprock and the S. TX. Panhandle.

Here is a quick look at the potential timing of winter weather across our area this weekend. Precipitation will start out as cold rain and slowly transition to snow through the weekend.

A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for the entire area from Friday afternoon through Sunday morning. Significant snow and ice accumulations are possible and travel will likely be very difficult this weekend.

There is a potential for extreme cold, with sub-zero wind chills, this weekend. While we have had recent spurts of cold weather, we have not yet experienced sub-zero wind chills this winter. Here are some reminders on dressing appropriately for extreme cold.

Here are some tips and tidbits for driving in winter weather. Plan ahead and stay safe this weekend!
