Our next round of snow showers has already kicked off across the Panhandles this early morning with light to moderate snowfall expected. These showers can tack on another 1 to 4 inches before we get a break for the afternoon. However, a second round of much heavier snowfall is expected to follow later tonight, so make sure to check back with us.

A strong cold front will move through late Thursday and into early Friday and we'll see temperatures quickly drop. A weather system could move in after the front moves through and bring some snow chances to the Panhandles Friday and into Saturday. Being still 5 to 6 days out, there are still lots of uncertainties in this forecast. Stay tuned as we get closer and the picture becomes clearer!
