I don't think this has ever happened before. All 254 Texas counties are under a Winter Storm Warning... So is every county in Oklahoma and Arkansas. Brr! #RGV #RGVWX #TXWX

There is a chance of snow Friday morning, but it's VERY small. Mainly just scattered rain showers, but a few flakes may mix in. Any that fall will melt right away. Still not a sure thing. We'll keep you posted.

This is probably the most weather warnings, advisories, and watches you'll ever see in #SouthTexas and the #RGV. Dangerous night for sure. #Hanna

One of the best meteor showers of the year, the #Perseids, peaks tonight after 12am. To maximize the number of meteors you see, get away from city lights. You'll also want to keep the moon to your back and look at the darkest part of the sky. #shootingstar

Late Thursday night/early Friday morning, snow will be falling in the the mountains of Mexico. Some models want to sneak a little snow/rain mix into South Texas. More than likely just a cold rain, but it's something to keep an eye on. Stay tuned.

#RGV #Weather #Forecast A true rain/snow mix expected across the Valley late Thursday night thru early Friday morning. The farther north and west you are, the more snow you'll see. The farther south and east you live, the tougher it will be to see any flakes.
