Snow starting to pick up here! It hasn't accumulated yet.
Looks like a little heavier burst coming. Should accumulate then. Timing sucks because its daytime but if it falls hard enough it will.

Areas affected...south central into a portion of southeast Texas
Concerning...Freezing rain
Valid 161309Z - 161615Z
SUMMARY...Light freezing rain with rates up to .02 inches per hour
mixed with some sleet at times will likely persist next few hours
from south central into a portion of southeast Texas. The corridor
of freezing rain should slowly shift southeast with time.
DISCUSSION...Early this morning an arctic front has pushed into deep
south TX with temperatures falling into the upper 20s F farther
north across south-central TX. RUC sounding and VWP data indicate
this front is less than 1 km deep with a pronounced warm nose around
850 mb. A shallow convective layer is also evident between 850 and
700 mb. Frontogenetic forcing in the 900-700 mb layer with weak
isentropic ascent will continue to promote the development of patchy
showers this morning with freezing rain being the primary concern.
Some of the freezing rain may mix with sleet and change to snow
before ending from the west as the deeper cold air spreads southward
with time.

Still not too much where I'm at. A bit of icy accumulation on vehicles and roofs. Precip has been pretty light but looks like heavier band maybe not far to north. Hopefully it moves my way... Office closed at least this morning. Hopefully for the afternoon as well.
