.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 927 AM CST Wed Jan 23 2019/ 

DISCUSSION...
Temperatures at 9 AM range from the low to mid 30s well inland to around
40 at the coast. Areas of mainly light to occasionally moderate rain
along with a few spots getting some frozen precipitation continue working
their way rapidly off to the east across the area, and a majority of
the activity should be off to our east over the next several hours.
Keeping a eye on some new and much weaker radar echoes popping up to
the south through southwest of the Austin-San Antonio areas. So far,
no precipitation is showing up on area observations with this activity.
Drier air will eventually work its way into the Southeast Texas as
the day progresses, and will probably do a couple forecast updates
over the next couple of hours as everything exits the region.

Only some minor grid adjustments were made on the morning update. 42
