Bryan-College Station Braces for Potential Winter Snowstorm Next Week
Hey there, Bryan-College Station residents! It looks like we might be in for a little winter surprise next week as forecasts are hinting at a possible snowstorm. Yes, you heard that right! According to the experts at the National Weather Service Houston Bureau, there’s about a 45% chance of our area receiving at least 0.1 inches of snow from Monday night to Tuesday evening. So, keep those snowmen ideas on standby!
Snow vs. Sleet: The Good News
Now, here’s some better news: The chance of snow is actually higher than that of sleet or freezing rain, which only sits at a mere 6% likelihood. This means we’re more likely to get some fluffy snowflakes rather than nasty icy rain. Who doesn’t love a little snow to brighten up the winter days?
Cold Weather Coming Our Way
As we aim to enjoy our weekend, starting Saturday night, we’re set to witness some colder than normal temperatures sweeping through southeast Texas. Saturday is projected to bring a high of 57°F and a chilly low of 29°F. But don’t get too comfy because it’s going to cool down even more on Sunday, with a high reaching only 43°F and a nighttime low dropping to a brisk 23°F.
Monday Looks Chilly and Potentially Snowy
Now, let’s talk about Monday. We’re looking at a high of 42°F, but don’t celebrate just yet because we’ll drop to around 25°F by Monday night. Plus, there’s a 40% chance for snow to start falling! And that likelihood remains just above that mark for Tuesday morning as well.
What to Expect Tuesday
Planning your week ahead? It’s essential to know that Tuesday’s forecast will see temperatures on the cooler side again, with a low hitting around 17°F and a high struggling to reach 37°F. But don’t worry too much, the sun is expected to return shortly after the winter storm moves through. Hats off to sunny midday weather!
Wednesday: A Little Warmer
Moving on to Wednesday, we should see relief from the cold with expected highs of 45°F and a low at 29°F. Sounds like a perfect opportunity to go out and enjoy the fresh air, albeit wearing that warm jacket!
Get Ready for Winter Conditions!
As always, as the temperatures drop considerably after Sunday’s cold front, it’s crucial to prepare for these winter weather conditions. That means considering the needs of your pets, plants, pipes, and even yourself. Make sure everything is tucked in and ready for the cold to come knocking!
Community Preparedness is Key
