Winter Storm Leaves Area
Posted/updated on: January 11, 2011 at 2:24 amTYLER – The various winter weather warnings and advisories for northeast Texas have been lifted. The winter storm that caused the problems has moved east of the area, taking the frozen precipitation with it. Caution should still be exercised when driving around the area. Overnight temperatures are remaining in the 20s and snow and sleet on roadways should refreeze, causing some problems especially on bridges and overpasses and secondary roads. KTBB weatherman Dr. Bob Peters says because of hazardous travel conditions, travel north of an Emory Henderson line should be discouraged.
The main arctic airmass is still poised to push through the area late Monday night. It will come in dry, but bitterly cold temperatures will follow for much of the week, especially at night where clearing skies will allow temperatures to fall. A warm up is in store for the end of the week.
