DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN…Wednesday through Monday

There is a chance of freezing rain Wednesday across the Hill Country and portions of Central Texas, roughly near and north of a Burnet to Fredericksburg to Rocksprings line.

At this time it is too soon to determine ice accumulations, however some icy spots will be possible on mainly elevated bridges, overpasses, and metal surfaces.

This is still an evolving forecast and locations of freezing rain and potential impacts may significantly change as the event draws closer. Those with travel plans through the Hill

Country and Central Texas will want to stay closely tuned to the forecast over the coming days.

With dormant vegetation, decent soil moisture, and moderate rainfall forecast on Wednesday some minor nuisance flooding could be possible along and east of Interstate 35. The heaviest rainfall will be possible east of Interstate 35 and north of Interstate 10 through the day on Wednesday.

Cold morning lows and breezy conditions will lead to windchill values in the mid to upper 20s for each morning Wednesday through Friday across parts of the Hill Country, Edwards Plateau, and I-35 corridor. Be sure to dress accordingly with coats, scarves, and multiple layers to keep warm during the cold and breezy mornings.
