An unseasonable blast of cold air will be shooting out of Colorado this afternoon and reaching Texas by later this evening. As rain showers develop, there will likely be a switchover to some light snow across the Panhandle region. Far western Oklahoma (Boise City) and Dalhart, Texas will likely see some accumulating snow by Thursday morning. The question many of you may be asking is.....when was the earliest measureable snowfall across the Panhandle?
The earliest measurable snowfall for Amarillo occurred on September 29th 1984 when 0.3" of snow was recorded. Heavier amounts of 2" was seen near Stratford, Texas.
So the question remains.....will the snow stick to the pavement later tonight? Based on ground temperatures, it is highly doubtful, however, wouldn't be surprised to see snow on the grass.
So first was California......now Texas, but which area will be next to see snow? The east coast perhaps? Check out our blog tomorrow for more details!
