SAN ANGELO, Texas (Concho Valley Homepage) — Ice, freezing rain and snow are possible for several parts of West Central Texas going into Friday, Jan. 10, according to the National Weather Service of San Angelo.

According to a graphic released by the NWS during the morning of Jan. 9, several types of precipitation influenced by the cold weather that has swept across the Lone Star State have the possibility of falling on the Concho Valley, Heartland, Big Country and I-10 Corridor regions. Here's a look at what the service said is its "latest thoughts on the precipitation types and amounts across West Central Texas through early Friday morning."

Concho Valley and the Heartland

The NWS predicted that a "mixture of sleet and cold rain/freezing rain" would continue to fall, with any freezing rain ending by the late morning or afternoon. Light ice accumulations may potentially form, especially on elevated surfaces such as bridges and overpasses.

The weather may transition to snow by 7 p.m. should precipitation continue to fall at the time, possibly bringing "a dusting to 0.5 of an inch of snow."

Precipitation is expected to end by midnight on Jan. 8 for the Concho Valley and by 3 a.m. for the Heartland. A "small band of additional snow" could occur at approximately 3 a.m. to 8 a.m. on Jan 10, however, bringing "an additional dusting to 0.5 of an inch of snow to the Concho Valley."

The Big Country

The service stated that the precipitation falling over the Big Country is likely to continue as snow" for the remainder of the winter storm. An additional 1 inch of snow is possible for the region, although "a reasonable high end amount of 3 inches" is also possible.

Precipitation is expected to end by midnight on Jan. 9. A "small band of additional snow" may come down at approximately 3 a.m. to 7 p.m. and bring an extra 0.5 inches of snow, though.

The I-10 Corridor

The NWS predicted that communities on the I-10 Corridor will primarily see precipitation in the form of cold rain with intermittent sleet. A transition to snow could occur by 7 p.m. should precipitation continue to fall at the time, bringing "a dusting to 0.5 of an inch of snow" to the region.

Precipitation is expected to end "around midnight to 2 a.m." on Jan. 9.
