SAN ANGELO, TX – The National Weather Service office in San Angelo is confirming that winter weather including the possibility of snow is on its way to the Concho Valley by Wednesday.  Traditionally, sometime during the three weeks of rodeo, San Angelo experiences som inclement weather.  

That will be Wednesday. 

The NWS is advising residents and visitors to be ready for wintry precipitation by Wednesday. Winter precipitation is likely to occur Tuesday night into Wednesday across West Central Texas. As it looks right now, at least a rain and snow mix is likely north of a Barnhart to Eden to Brownwood line Tuesday evening. Then, after midnight Tuesday night, precipitation will likely become all snow north of an Ozona to Menard to Brownwood line, while elsewhere may see more of a rain and snow mix. Snow amounts are uncertain at the moment, but looks like snow accumulations of at least an inch will be possible north of a Sterling City to Coleman line, while a half inch to an inch will be possible through the rest of the Concho Valley and into southern Coleman County and Brown County. Any snow accumulations will make for hazardous road conditions for motorists. Considerable uncertainty exists regarding forecast snow amounts with this weather system.
