According to the National Weather Service forecasts for our area, precautions should be taken as travel conditions may be very dangerous. A Winter Storm Warning and Winter Weather Advisories have been issued. A rapidly evolving winter weather event is unfolding this afternoon as temperatures over South Central Texas have dropped dramatically. Periods of freezing drizzle and light freezing rain are expected, prompting the need for Winter Storm Warnings, Winter Weather Advisories, and an expanded area of communities impacted. Significant ice accumulation impacts are now considered likely over the Hill Country and Central Texas. This will make travel conditions very dangerous. All roads, elevated surfaces and walkways could have ice accumulations from today through noon on Wednesday.
