TRAIL/WEATHER CONDITIONS

Quick Saturday Update (8:30 a.m.)...Welcome to Spring in Texas...
70+ Degrees one day & snowing the next!

While we will be bringing you a complete and comprehensive report on park trail conditions a little later this morning...wanted to go ahead and get a first post out there for you all that might be checking it this morning.

We did receive some rain overnight...a quarter of an inch. But most importantly, followed by the rain, earlier this morning, we had sleet, but now that sleet is light snow that is falling. While it is nothing significant right now, per the winter weather advisory for our area, the forecast is ultimately predicting possibly up to 3 inches of snow for us here along the Red River. At this time, NO snow accumulations & thus no driving problems on roadways for those venturing out to Bulcher. We are continuing to monitor the weather and right now we have a current temperature of 33 degrees. It is cloudy and overcast and very very cold. With the wind gusts, it feels like 22 degrees outside though. So stay warm! We do have a winter weather advisory in effect for our area as issued by the National Weather Service. See below for details:

A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR SNOW REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 9 AM THIS MORNING TO 7 AM CDT SUNDAY.

A POWERFUL UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION AND RESULT IN WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE AREA. RAIN MAY MIX WITH SNOW DURING THE DAYTIME HOURS SATURDAY... BUT IS EXPECTED TO BECOME ALL SNOW BY THIS EVENING. SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS IN THE ADVISORY AREA ARE EXPECTED TO AVERAGE 1 INCH... BUT COULD BE AS HIGH AS 3 INCHES ALONG THE RED RIVER. IN ADDITION TO THE SNOW... STRONG WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 40 MPH ARE LIKELY SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT... WHICH MAY RESULT IN PERIODS OF BLOWING SNOW AND REDUCED VISIBILITIES.

A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY MEANS THAT PERIODS OF WINTER PRECIPITATION MAY CAUSE TRAVEL DIFFICULTIES. BE PREPARED FOR SOME SLIPPERY ROADWAYS AND PLAN ON TRAVEL DELAYS.
