...WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 3 AM TUESDAY TO MIDNIGHT
CST TUESDAY NIGHT...

A strong arctic front will push through the area tonight into 
Tuesday morning. Temperatures will drop below freezing through the
morning and afternoon. Precipitation will be falling through the 
day with possibly bands of heavier precipitation.

Freezing rain will be the primary hazard for all areas in the 
warning with the potential of an eighth of an inch of ice 
accumulations especially in any bands. Amounts of a few hundredths 
to a tenth of an inch are more likely but these amounts will still
impact roads, bridges and overpasses.

Snowfall accumulations are more likely north of a Brenham, Conroe
to Livingston line. Again with any banded precipitation there is 
the potential for snowfall greater than 1 to 2 inches. Most areas 
may get 1 inch of snow and this may fall on top of freezing rain 
and sleet.

* WHAT...Freezing rain accumulation potentially an eighth of an
inch or more but with a tenth or less more likely. Snowfall
accumulation potentially 2 inches north of Brenham to Livingston
with 1 inch most likely. Trace snowfall amounts possible north
of Interstate 10 where freezing rain is most likely hazard.

* WHERE...Mainly north of Interstate 10

* WHEN...Tuesday morning through the evening

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Impacts of icing to elevated surfaces such
as bridges and overpasses. Road conditions will worsen for areas
with temperatures below freezing for a longer period of time.
Snow falling on top of any icy surfaces will cause those
surfaces to become even more icy.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Winter Storm Warning means significant amounts of snow... 
sleet...and ice are expected or occurring. Strong winds are also 
possible. This will make travel very hazardous or impossible.
