FBISD closed today ..... I've got a light icy crust on the vehicles outside this morning. Looks to get worse over the next hour or two before it can get better.

Is that it for the precip. The radar looks like it is clearing up?

Appears the drier air is working in from the NW and most remaining moisture is shifting South towards the coastal sections along and S of the 59 corridor.

One more batch of precip moving in from the W and SW. Spotty precip reported back in San Antonio, so the heaviest stuff should start to shift off to the E and S.

You might not, but I have. My car is encased in ice. The ground is icy and still coming down. Humble ISD is out and we are still waiting on HCC to make the call. My wife will cancel her classes today, too icy. It is a stay home day and work on my dissertation. :)

For those interested, Electric Generation in the area doesn't appear to be an issue yet. Wholesale electric prices per/MW hr have inched up over the past hour, but there is still a lot of generation available in ERCOT.

Things could change quickly as demand increases - but for now, all looks good.

RADAR TRENDS WERE ENDING THE PRECIP OVER KCLL AND KUTS. THINK THAT

WAS LESS CONFIDENT ABOUT THE ENDING OF THE PRECIP FROM KHOU AND
KSGR TO THE COAST. RADAR INDICATED ISENTROPIC LIFT WAS CONTINUING
TO GENERATE PRECIP WELL WEST OF KLBX. TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE NEAR
FREEZING THROUGH ABOUT 15Z BEFORE SLOWLY WARMING ABOVE FREEZING
DURING THE LATE MORNING. THE MODELS KEEP A CHANCE OF RAIN AT THESE
TWO SITES INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON. VFR SHOULD DEVELOP LATE THIS
AFTERNOON IN THE NORTH AND EARLY THIS EVENING TOWARD THE COAST.

.MARINE...
GALE FORCE WINDS WILL DIMINISH THIS MORNING AS THE SURFACE PRESSURE
GRADIENT RELAXES. HOWEVER...STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL CONTINUE
TO PROVIDE FOR STRONG WINDS THROUGH AT LEAST MIDDAY OVER THE
NEARSHORE WATERS. HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE OVERHEAD TONIGHT. ANOTHER
STRONG COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE OFF THE COAST ON MONDAY WITH
AT LEAST SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES EXPECTED FOLLOWING THE FRONT.
