While snow showers are falling across portions of the southern panhandle Friday with an Advisory in place, we are monitoring the potential for heavy snow for Monday into Tuesday. There is moderate confidence in the timing of the snow to move in from the west Monday morning, spreading inland through the day. Confidence is increasing on a period of heavy snowfall rates with potential to see 6 inches of accumulation. There is also likelihood to see rain mixed in near see level. These details will be honed in on in the coming days.
