Winter-weary area faces chance of more ice, and a cold Mardi Gras
The National Weather Service is receiving reports of light snow in parts of east Texas and central Louisiana this morning. This precipitation is very light and is expected to dissipate before noon. No accumulation is expected.
However, a round of light rain, freezing rain, and /or sleet is expected to begin late tonight into Tuesday morning.
The current thinking is this will extend down to the US Hwy 190 corridor of east Texas and central Louisiana, but depending on the temperatures and the timing of the precipitation, it could extend further sound along portions of the I-10 corridor of southeast Texas, southwest and south central Louisiana.
Accumulations should be on the light side, but could warrant a winter weather advisory for problems on elevated roads and bridges, especially in east Texas and central Louisiana.
Lows tonight will be in 30-degree range and highs on Fat Tuesday only in the 50s, with wind and rain.
