Weather
The National Weather Service is calling for hard freezes and possible accumulating snowfall in Texas this weekend. The best chance for accumulating snowfall is in the Panhandle on Sunday night. On average, the area doesn’t see its first snowfall until November.
“Its too early to say with much confidence, but chances are on the uptick for the first accumulating snowfall potential of the season. Right now all areas of the Panhandle are fair game for accumulating snow. The most favorable would be the northwest Panhandle and the least favorable would be the southeast Panhandle.”

Accumulating snowfall is most likely in the northwest panhandle and least likely in the southeast panhandle.
