Here’s the radar as of 7:25 PM CST. Isolated showers mixed with a few sleet pellets are moving across the Austin Metro and will move east into the Brazos Valley through 9 PM. Precipitation has developed in Mexico and will continue to move north from Eagle Pass into South Texas through 9 PM. Temperatures in both these areas are above freezing. Meanwhile a few sleet/freezing rain showers have developed from near Fort Stockton east to Sonora. These are also moving north and are a sign that lift is increasing across the region. We anticipate additional precipitation to develop this evening. Areas that are below 32F that receive precipitation are at risk for ice accumulation tonight so keep that in mind. Freezing Drizzle is possible across the southern half of the Concho Valley into the Hill Country tonight as well.
