Freezing Drizzle Early Thursday May Add to Icy Driving Conditions

 

SAN ANGELO, TX -- Although the worst of the wintry precipitation will end across the area this afternoon, patchy freezing drizzle and freezing rain will remain possible tonight. Roadways may see icy spots redevelop, especially on bridges and overpasses According to the National Weather Service.  

Most of the wintry precipitation has ended across West Central Texas this afternoon, and this will give a chance for the ice to melt off area roadways and allow roadways to begin to dry.
However, with temperatures below freezing, any moisture that remains on roadways will refreeze and patchy icy spots will remain possible this evening.

Patchy freezing drizzle is possible after midnight, with scattered showers with freezing rain again developing by sunrise Thursday morning. Although totals are expected to be much lighter
than what we saw earlier today, patchy ice will again be possible, especially on bridges and overpasses. An approximate time on when these showers with freezing rain may reach certain areas include:

4 AM...I-10 from Ozona to Sonora and Junction
6 AM...San Angelo, Brady, and Brownwood
8 AM...Abilene, Sweetwater

Temperatures are expected to climb above freezing by mid morning for most locations, finally ending the threat of wintry precipitation.
