Weather update Tues AM (Wed/Thurs AM update)Weather update - Tues AM with Wed/Thurs AM update. From Jeff Lindner
1-21-25 500amWidespread light to at times moderate snow with accumulations ongoing across the region.

🌬️ Strong northerly winds are developing with recent gusts to 40mph at Hobby, Galveston, and Palacios.

🌡️ Temperatures are below freezing over the entire region with wind chills in the 10's.

❄️ After starting as sleet yesterday evening much of the precipitation has transitioned to snow since midnight although there is still some sleet mixing in closer to the coast. ❄️ Banding features have resulted in widely varying accumulations thus far with what appears to be a swath of 1-2 inches of snow from northern Waller County into northern Harris/southern Montgomery Counties including 2 inches at Pinehurst and 1 inch in Aldine.

❄️ Expect greater banding features to develop near sunrise along the I-10 corridor southward with increasing snowfall rates in that area. ❄️ Where some of these heavier bands persist 2-5 inches of snow will be possible in a short period of time. ❄️⏰ Snow will end from north to south later this morning into the early afternoon hours and some sun areas may see a little bit of sun resulting in some minor melting. 🚨 Temperatures tonight will be completely controlled by the location and amount of snow cover on the ground with areas of more snow being colder than areas with none or less. 🚨🌡️ Areas with snow cover will fall into the 10's tonight......potentially the mid 10's. 🚨🧊 Temperatures may warm into the upper 30's to near 40 on Wednesday allowing for more melting but much of the area will fall into the mid 20's on Thursday morning with a re-freeze of any melted water in "black ice". (Not good) 🚗

😲 Aside: First ever blizzard warning has been issued from Beaumont, TX to Lafayette, LA where currently heavy snow and winds gusting to 35mph is reducing visibilities to .25 to .50 of a mile.
