An arctic cold front will bring bitter cold air into west central Texas starting Friday and lasting through this weekend. Temperatures will remain in the teens and 20s Saturday and Sunday with wind chill values as low as 5 below zero to 10 above zero. For precipitation, expect widespread light freezing rain and sleet across much of the area Friday night through Saturday night. There is a low chance of moderate to heavy freezing rain which would bring significant icing and possible weather related power outages. Travel will become hazardous and nearly impossible if there is major ice accumulation. In addition, some snow is possible across the Big Country with a few inches of accumulation. Please be prepared for possible winter weather this weekend and keep up with the latest weather information and forecasts.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
