A strengthening upper level storm system will bring two distinct windows for accumulating snowfall to the region: First from late Tuesday night into Wednesday, and again on Thursday. An area of snow is expected to develop near the Texas-New Mexico state line late Tuesday night, eventually expanding over most of the South Plains, Rolling Plains, and far southern Texas Panhandle on Wednesday morning. Light snow accumulations are possible through the day on Wednesday, especially on the Caprock, which may result in hazardous travel conditions. A second round of snowfall is then expected to develop over most of the region on Thursday. This second round has the potential to bring more widespread snow accumulation compared to Wednesday, which may result in difficult travel conditions on Thursday as well. Stay tuned to National Weather Service forecasts for updates and additional information over the coming days. $$
