Description:
...ANOTHER ROUND OF SNOW EXPECTED FOR THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL
PANHANDLE THROUGH MONDAY...
.The shortwave that moved through the panhandle Sunday is now
deteriorating over the northern panhandle, bringing widespread
showers through the central and southern panhandle in its wake.
Snow showers may bring visibility down to less then a mile at
times, with light to moderate snowfall rates expected. Localized
higher snowfall rates will remain possible with heavier showers,

continuous snow showers overnight. Uncertainty remains for the
final positioning of the low, as different positions may bring
different snow totals to the communities it sits over.
