A quick moving storm system combined with increasing moisture and temperatures in the 30s to bring a chilly rain to much of the South Plains region to close out 2012. The precipitation fell during the late evening hours of the 30th (Sunday) and early morning hours of the 31st (Monday). As the above and below maps show, nearly everyone experienced a little precipitation. The heaviest rain, from 1/3 to over 1/2 of an inch, fell in a southwest to northeast swath across the South Plains. In addition, the temperature did fall to or just below the freezing mark across parts of the western South Plains into the southwest Texas Panhandle. These cold temperatures allowed a little freezing rain, sleet and snow to develop, though accumulations were very light and resulted in minimal travel difficulties. |
