...MUCH COLDER WEATHER TO MOVE BACK INTO WEST TEXAS TOMORROW...

AFTER THE RECENT WARM STRETCH...A STRONG LATE SEASON COLD FRONT
WILL PLUNGE THROUGH THE SOUTH PLAINS TOMORROW AND BRING ANOTHER BOUT
OF UNSEASONABLY COLD AIR TO THE REGION. THIS COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED
TO MOVE THROUGH THE SOUTH PLAINS THROUGH THE MORNING AND EARLY
AFTERNOON HOURS. BEHIND THE FRONT...NORTHERLY WINDS WILL BECOME
SUSTAINED AT 25 TO 35 MPH...WITH HIGHER GUSTS...WHICH WILL IN TURN
RESULT IN AREAS OF BLOWING DUST. IN ADDITION...THE WINDS WILL
USHER IN MUCH COLDER AIR WITH TEMPERATURES BY THURSDAY MORNING
FALLING INTO THE 30S FOR MOST OF THE AREA. IN FACT...THE SOUTHWEST
TEXAS PANHANDLE INTO THE NORTHERN SOUTH PLAINS COULD EXPERIENCE A
LIGHT FREEZE THURSDAY MORNING. ALSO...LIGHT PRECIPITATION IS
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP WELL BEHIND THE FRONT WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND
PERSIST INTO EARLY THURSDAY BEFORE TAPERING OFF BY MIDDAY.
INITIALLY THIS PRECIPITATION WILL BE IN THE FORM OF COLD
RAIN SHOWERS...BUT AS THE COLD AIR CONTINUES TO BUILD IN...A
LIGHT WINTRY MIX OF SLEET...SNOW OR FREEZING DRIZZLE WILL BE
POSSIBLE...PRIMARILY ON THE CAPROCK. CURRENTLY IT APPEARS ANY
WINTRY PRECIPITATION WILL BE LIGHT...BUT IT COULD STILL CREATE A
FEW SLICK SPOTS...PARTICULARLY ON ELEVATED BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES
EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. THE GUSTY NORTH WINDS WILL GRADUALLY
DIMINISH LATE THURSDAY AND SKIES WILL CLEAR AND THIS WILL SET THE
STAGE FOR ANOTHER COLD NIGHT WITH A WIDESPREAD FREEZE ON THE
CAPROCK AND A FROST OF LIGHT FREEZE IN THE ROLLING PLAINS BY
FRIDAY MORNING. TEMPERATURES WILL GRADUALLY MODERATE THEREAFTER.
