Snowy weather is headed to West Texas, but how much and when are proving hard to predict.
“There’s a system coming out of Mexico; however, unfortunately, we don’t have good observations in Mexico, so there’s still uncertainty about what precipitation will look like this week,” said Brian Curan, meteorologist at the National Weather Service [NWS] office in Midland.
Curan said he expects about 1 inch of precipitation to fall between Wednesday and Friday, and some of that could be a wintry mix of snow and sleet. There’s a 10% chance of snow showers Wednesday afternoon and a 20% chance in the evening. Snow chances rise to 40% Thursday during the day. At night, a mix of rain and snow could fall before midnight.
NWS has placed the Permian Basin under a cold weather advisory, which will expire at 6 a.m. Friday.
