National Weather Service issues Winter Storm Warning

Published on January 15, 2018 under RRnews

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for most of the northern part of South Central Texas, including Round Rock, from midnight Monday night, Jan. 15, through late Tuesday afternoon.

From the NWS: “A cold front will move through Monday night and bring with it cold temperatures, strong winds, and a wintry mix of precipitation. Wintry precipitation will begin across the northern Hill Country and Austin between midnight and 6am Tuesday spreading south through the day. Precipitation will begin as a mix of sleet and freezing rain with some snow mixing in across the Hill Country, Austin and San Antonio metro areas, and the Rio Grande Plains Tuesday afternoon. With ice accumulations of around one tenth of an inch expected, significant travel impacts are possible during the day on Tuesday not just on bridges and overpasses, but also on surface streets due to the cold temperatures. There is a chance for ice accumulations up to 1/4 inch across the Hill Country. With temperatures remaining below freezing overnight Tuesday into Wednesday any accumulated frozen precipitation could remain into Wednesday morning.”

City crews will be working Monday to pretreat bridges, and are prepared to work through the night, if necessary. Deicing materials and sanders are set and ready to go.
