A Pacific storm is bringing areas of low elevation rain, moderate to heavy mountain snow, and high winds to the Northwest. Strong Santa Ana winds and very dry conditions are producing elevated to critical fire weather conditions in southern California. Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible through early Wednesday morning across parts of northeast Texas into western Tennessee. Read More >

| Another February winter storm impacted the Panhandles as a vigorous upper-level low pressure center moved across the area. Many areas saw a mixture of rain, sleet, and snow during the early morning hours. Once the atmosphere cooled, most of the precipitation transitioned to all snow by daybreak. A few rumbles of thunder also occurred with the various precipitation types -- an indication of the strength of this storm system. By the time the snow ended by Thursday afternoon, most of the Panhandles had received at least some snow. The highest totals were found across the northern and northeastern part of the Panhandles, including a 13-inch total 15 miles northeast of Ware, TX in Dallam County. Despite February being one of the driest months during the calendar year, this storm system also brought beneficial moisture to most areas. Amarillo, TX received 0.51 inches; Hooker, OK received 0.53 inches; and Clarendon, TX received 1.08 inches. | ||||||
