There's Snow in the Forecast Heading into Christmas Week!

SAN ANGELO – The Concho Valley might not have a white Christmas this year, but there is a slight chance of snow Saturday evening into Sunday morning heading into Christmas week. 

According to Meteorologists with the National Weather Service office in San Angelo, a strong cold front will move through the Big Country down into the Concho Valley late Friday into Saturday morning.  

A few showers and thunderstorms will be possible across the area as the cold front moves through.  The best chances for rain will be in the eastern counties in the Heartland and Hill Country overnight. 

Temperatures will drop into the 30s Saturday night and an upper level disturbance will combine with abundant moisture to create the possibility of snow in the western counties early Sunday.  Little or now snow accumulation is expected because temperatures will not remain below freezing for very long.  

Mild temperatures will return early next week as warmer weather flows back into the region.  

There is a 30 percent chance of rain tonight into Saturday with a 20 percent chance of light snow in the western counties Saturday night.  

This is a developing weather situation.
