IT'S STILL WINTER AROUND HERE

Here in the TX panhandle, we are currently in a winter weather advisory. Yesterday, we didn't have enough moisture in the atmosphere for squat, but at this time (12:24 Friday morning) our dewpoint is around 29 with SE winds of about 15 mph. So, the upslope flow is in full force which will aid in the lifting for some winter precipitation.


Snowfall amounts will probably be around 1-3 inches here in Amarillo with slightly higher amounts to the west and southwest. North central NM (angelfire ski resort) may get as much as 7-10 inches from this system.

South TX got some much needed rain in the past day or two, so now it's our turn for some moisture here in the panhandle. It probably won't amount to much, but we'll take what we can get.
