A strong storm system may bring snow accumulations to portions of the South Plains and extreme southern Texas Panhandle on Friday… A strong upper-level storm system is expected to move over the area from late Thursday, November 24, 2022 (Thanksgiving Day) through the day on Friday, November 25, 2022. Precipitation may start off as rain or rain mixed with snow late on Thursday but will quickly switch over to snow early Friday morning for the extreme southwestern Texas Panhandle. A rain/snow mix is expected for a longer period of time for the remainder of the South Plains before turning to mostly snow later on Friday morning. Areas off the Caprock will most likely see mostly rain with little snowfall. Accumulating snowfall may make travel difficult on Friday.

Fog is forecast to develop across most of the central and southern South Plains, and into the southwestern Rolling Plains, on Wednesday morning. The fog could become dense particularly across the South Plains with visibilities less than one quarter of a mile possible. A strong cold front will move through the area on Thanksgiving morning. Sustained northerly winds behind this front may reach in excess of 30 mph for the South Plains and extreme southwestern Texas Panhandle on Thursday. There is a chance of accumulating wintry precipitation across the region Thursday night and Friday. Although confidence in the degree of impacts is low at this time, there is a possibility of hazardous travel conditions.
