TRAIL/WEATHER CONDITIONS

Half Way Thru The Week On This Wednesday...

NO rain yesterday or overnight. This morning as of 9:55 a.m., we have a current temperature of 52 degrees. It is cloudy and overcast this morning as we only anticipate highs today to be in the upper 50's. Enjoy because it is all downhill from today as far as weather goes...tomorrow (Thursday) the forecast is calling for rain & thunderstorms and on Friday a.m., a light wintry mix is expected. But we'll just have to wait and see. We have received NO rain thus far today. There is a special weather alert for our area as issued by the National Weather Service preparing people for the possible bad weather conditions toward the end of the week. See below for more details:

... A STRONG WINTER STORM SYSTEM WILL AFFECT NORTH TEXAS THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...

A POWERFUL UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE THROUGH THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND BRING A PERIOD OF UNSETTLED WEATHER AND COLDER TEMPERATURES TO NORTH TEXAS. MOISTURE AND LIFT AHEAD OF THE UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM WILL RESULT IN WIDESPREAD RAIN AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY AND INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL AVERAGE 1 TO 2 INCHES... WITH TOTALS UP TO 3 INCHES POSSIBLE NORTH OF THE I-20 CORRIDOR.

MEANWHILE A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTH ACROSS NORTH TEXAS THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT. AS TEMPERATURES COOL BEHIND THE FRONT... THE RAIN SHOULD CHANGE OVER TO A LIGHT WINTRY MIX OF PRECIPITATION TO THE NORTHWEST OF A LINE FROM LAMPASAS... TO WACO... TO TERRELL... TO SULPHUR SPRINGS BY FRIDAY MORNING. ICE ACCUMULATIONS OF UP TO A QUARTER INCH ARE POSSIBLE ALONG AND NORTHWEST OF A MINERAL WELLS TO GAINESVILLE LINE. A WINTER STORM WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THESE AREAS AS A RESULT.

SOME MINOR ACCUMULATIONS OF ICE OCCURRING FROM LIGHT FREEZING DRIZZLE WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF NORTH TEXAS FRIDAY MORNING.

THE MOST SIGNIFICANT WINTER PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN OVER THE TEXAS PANHANDLE AND OKLAHOMA WHERE THE CENTER OF UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO TRACK. HOWEVER... DUE TO UNCERTAINTIES ON THE EXACT TRACK OF THE SYSTEM... RESIDENTS ACROSS NORTH TEXAS ARE ENCOURAGED TO MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS FOR ANY CHANGES DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
