What happened

The episode as NWS SJT wrote it up.

A significant winter weather event with unseasonably cold temperatures affected West Central Texas on Easter Weekend. Winter weather events seldom occur in this region during April. An unseasonably cold airmass developed across the northern Plains, Midwest and Great Lakes Regions on April 5th and 6th. A strong high pressure system dropped south from Canada, and pushed this cold air southward across the Plains states and into Texas. Temperatures dropped into the 30 to 35 degree range across West Central Texas, by the early morning of Saturday, April 7th. The temperatures held steady or slowly dropped a few degrees during the day Saturday, and remained in the upper 20s to lower 30s Saturday night.|To make matters worse, an upper level disturbance approached Texas from southern New Mexico, and interacted with the cold and moist air in the region. This brought a few rounds of mixed winter precipitation to the area. The precipitation was mostly in the form of snow across the Big Country. Farther to the south, a mix of sleet, snow and some freezing rain fell. The precipitation was heavy at times, especially when it was accompanied by scattered thunderstorms which moved east across the area. Thunder sleet was reported at San Angelo on Saturday and was accompanied by a heavy burst of sleet and snow. |There was a widespread area of sleet and snow that moved across West Central Texas. The Following is a list of sleet and snowfall reports across the area on April 7th: |SNOW REPORTS|Glen Cove (Coleman County) 6 Inches|Brownwood (Brown County) 4 Inches|Silver Valley (Coleman County) 4 Inches|Brownwood 3SE (Brown County) 3 Inches|Anson (Jones County) 3 Inches|Albany (Shackelford County) 3 Inches|Ballinger (Runnels County) 2 Inches|Putnam (Callahan County) 2 Inches|Baird (Callahan County) 2 Inches|Haskell (Haskell County) 2 Inches|Lake Abilene (Taylor County) 2 Inches|Rotan (Fisher County) 2 Inches|Lohn (McCulloch County) 2 Inches|SNOW AND SLEET REPORTS|Brady (McCulloch County) 2 Inches (Lots of sleet)|Paint Rock (Concho County) 2 Inches (Lots of sleet)|Water Valley (Tom Green County) 2 Inches (Much of it sleet)|Mertzon (Irion County) 2 Inches (Half sleet)|Water Valley (Coke County) 1 Inches (Mostly sleet)|San AngeloNWS (Tom Green County) 1 Inches (Mostly sleet)|Concho Park (Concho County) 1 Inches (Lots of sleet)|London (Kimble County) 1 Inches (Sleet)|Colorado Bend (San Saba County) 1 Inches (Sleet)|Sonora (Sutton County) 1/2 Inches (Sleet)|Northern Crockett County 1/2-1 Inches (Sleet)|Despite the warm ground, the precipitation fell heavily enough to cause significant accumulations, especially on elevated surfaces such as bridges and overpasses. This created Easter weekend travel problems with several weather-related accidents reported. About 50 traffic accidents were reported throughout the area Saturday and into Saturday night. There were even a few road closures near Menard, and the Houston Harte Expressway in San Angelo was closed for a time Saturday evening through Sunday morning. The icy conditions kept road crews busy throughout Saturday into early Sunday. In addition, many Easter-related activities were either moved indoors or had to be postponed, due to the weather. |The impacts of the cold weather and wintry precipitation will be felt for sometime to come. The area farmers are still trying to determine how much their crops, such as Pecans and Wheat, were damaged by the prolonged freezing temperatures. Several sheep were lost to the cold and damp conditions as well. |The record books for April had a workout over the Easter Weekend. The following is a Record Event Report about the unseasonably cold temperatures: |For Abilene, the high temperature of 36 degrees on the 7th was a record low maximum temperature for that date. The previous record was 40 degrees set in 1958. It also established a new record for the coldest maximum temperature ever recorded in the month of April. The previous record was 38 degrees set on April 8th 1938. The low temperature of 28 degrees on the 7th tied the record low temperature for that date, which was previously set in 1938.|For San Angelo, the high temperature of 38 degrees on the 7th was a record low maximum temperature for that date. The previous record was 56 degrees set in 1983. It also established a new rcord for the coldest maximum temperature ever recorded in April. The previous record was 39 degrees set on April 13th 1957.|In San Angelo the temperature was 32 degrees or below from 5:30 A.M. Saturday through 10:30 A.M. Sunday. This was a total of 29 hours at or below freezing. Prior to this weekend, the lognest period of time with temperatures at or below freezing in April was 10 hours, from 1 A.M. to 11 A.M. on April 13, 1957. The low temperature of 29 degrees on the 7th tied the record low temperature for that date, which was previously set in 1971. Also on the 8th (Easter Sunday), the high temperature of 42 degrees in San Angelo was a record low maximum temperature for that date. The previous record for the 8th was 50 degrees in 1983.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN ANGELO TX
918 PM CDT FRI APR 6 2007

.UPDATE...
THE CURRENT FORECAST LOOKS IN GOOD SHAPE...WITH THE FOCUS ON THE
UNSEASONABLY COLD CONDITIONS FOR THIS EASTER WEEKEND. LATE THIS
EVENING...WIDESPREAD LOW CLOUDINESS COVERS OUR REGION. UPSLOPE
FLOW IS LEADING TO SATURATION IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER ACROSS
WEST TEXAS. THE LOWEST CLOUD CEILINGS AND PATCHY FOG/DRIZZLE
DEVELOPING ACROSS WEST TEXAS. TEMPERATURES ARE SLOWLY FALLING
ACROSS THE AREA...AND AT 8 PM RANGED FROM THE MID 30S ACROSS OUR
NORTHWESTERN COUNTIES TO THE MID 50S IN OUR SOUTHEASTERN COUNTIES.
RADAR SO FAR JUST SHOWING PATCHY VERY LIGHT ECHOES (LESS THAN 15
DBZ RETURNS). THIS EXPECTED TO CHANGE OVERNIGHT WITH THE APPROACH
OF THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH FROM THE SOUTHWESTERN STATES...AND WITH
ISENTROPIC LIFT AND GRADUAL SATURATION OF THE LOWER LAYERS. THE
CURRENT TEMPERATURE FORECAST LOOKS ON TARGET. THE MAIN FORECAST
CHALLENGE FOR SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT REMAINS WITH
PRECIPITATION TYPE...AS THE FORECAST SOUNDINGS HOVER NEAR THE
CRITICAL THRESHOLDS FOR THE VARIOUS PRECIPITATION TYPES. 18Z GFS
BRINGS IN SOME DRIER AIR IN THE MID-LEVELS AFTER 00Z SUNDAY ACROSS
OUR AREA SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 20. THIS SUGGESTS A DRIZZLE/LIGHT
RAIN OR FREEZING DRIZZLE/LIGHT FREEZING RAIN SCENARIO SATURDAY
NIGHT FOR OUR CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN COUNTIES. DO NOT PLAN ANY
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE FORECAST AT THIS TIME. WILL LET THE 00Z
MODEL DATA ARRIVE AND ALLOW THE NEXT SHIFT A CHANCE TO EVALUATE
THE SITUATION FURTHER.

.CLIMATE...
THE HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR SATURDAY ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR AT
MIDNIGHT WITH TEMPERATURES SLOWLY FALLING THROUGH THE DAY.
THE RECORD COLD MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE FOR THE MONTH OF APRIL IS 38
DEGREES AT ABILENE (APR 8) AND 39 DEGREES AT SAN ANGELO (APR 13).
THESE WOULD LIKELY BE BROKEN SATURDAY IF JUST THE 12Z-00Z TIME
FRAME WAS USED. BUT WILL BE MORE DIFFICULT TO ACHIEVE WITH THE
MIDNIGHT TO MIDNIGHT TEMPERATURE RECORD. ABILENE HAS THE BEST
CHANCE OF ESTABLISHING A NEW RECORD...GIVEN THAT THEIR 9 PM
TEMPERATURE THIS EVENING HAS FALLEN TO 39 DEGREES.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 728 PM CDT FRI APR 6 2007/

AVIATION...
EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE ACROSS WEST CENTRAL TEXAS UNTIL
AROUND MIDNIGHT. THEN...A SERIES OF MINOR DISTURBANCES ALOFT WILL
BEGIN MOVING ACROSS WEST CENTRAL TEXAS AND PRODUCING LIGHT DRIZZLE.
AS THE LOWER ATMOSPHERE SATURATES...EXPECT CONDITIONS TO GRADUALLY
DROP INTO THE MVFR RANGE...WITH BASES AROUND 1500 FEET ABOVE
GROUND LEVEL AND VISIBILITIES AROUND 4 STATUE MILES. AS THE NIGHT
PROGRESSES...SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO FALL TO NEAR OR
JUST BELOW FREEZING. BY SUNRISE TOMORROW MORNING...EXPECT LIGHT
RAIN...SLEET...OR LIGHT SNOW...MAINLY ALONG AND NORTH OF A LINE
FROM MERTZON TO SAN SABA. ALONG AND NORTH OF THE INTERSTATE 20
CORRIDOR WHERE SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL BE AROUND 30
DEGREES...LOOK FOR FREEZING RAIN TO ADD TO THE WINTRY MIX. BY MID
TO LATE AFTERNOON TOMORROW...MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS WILL DOMINATE
WEST CENTRAL TEXAS ALONG WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR THE WINTRY
PRECIPITATION MIX TO CONTINUE.

23/HUBER

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 324 PM CDT FRI APR 6 2007/

WINTER RETURNS TEMPORARILY THIS WEEKEND... AS 30 DEGREE TEMPS ARE
ALREADY IN THE PANHANDLE AS A SURFACE HIGH CONTINUES TO BUILD ACROSS
THE PLAINS. THESE COLDER TEMPERATURES WILL MOVE INTO OUR CWA THIS
EVENING AND TOMORROW  AS CAA OCCURS. CLOUDY SKIES WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

STILL AN UNCERTAIN FORECAST FOR THIS WEEKEND IN REGARDS TO A POSSIBLE
LATE SEASON WINTER PCPN EVENT. TEMPERATURES WILL BE THE COLDEST THE
AREA HAS SEEN SINCE THE BEGINNING OF MARCH....WITH HIGHS OCCURRING
IN THE MORNING ON SATURDAY AND TEMPERATURES DROPPING THROUGH OUT THE
DAY...SUNDAY MORNING TEMPS WILL BE IN THE UPPER 20 TO LOWER 30S WITH
THE COLDER TEMPS ACROSS THE BIG COUNTRY. THE UNCERTAINTIES LIE WITH
PRECIPITATION TYPE. 850 TEMPS...MODEL SOUNDINGS...SOME MID LEVEL
LIFT AVAILABLE INDICATE THAT SNOW IS A POSSIBILITY SATURDAY NIGHT
THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING....HOWEVER WITH GROUND TEMPERATURES IN THE
60S ANY ACCUMULATION THAT DOES OCCUR WILL BE MELT QUICKLY. WARM 700 MB
TEMPS AND WITH SURFACE TEMPS IN THE LOW TO MID 30S INDICATE THAT THE
PCPN TYPE WILL MOST LIKELY BE COLD RAIN WITH SOME SLEET MIXED. AS
TEMPERATURES BOUNCE AROUND THE FREEZING MARK SO WILL PCPN TYPE. HAVE
INCLUDED VERY LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS IN THE GRIDS...HOWEVER THE 12Z NAM
HINTS THAT THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF SNOW BANDS DEVELOPING ACROSS
THE BIG COUNTRY SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...HOWEVER AT THIS
TIME HAVE NOT PUT ANY SNOWFALL AMOUNTS GREATER THAN ONE INCH...IF
AND THAT MAY BE A BIG IF SNOW BANDS DO DEVELOP SOME ISOLATED AREAS
MAY SEE SNOWFALL AMOUNTS UP TO 4 INCHES. AM NOT RULING OUT THE
POSSIBILITY OF SNOW BANDS DEVELOPING BUT AM NOT VERY CONFIDENT
IF... WHEN AND WHERE THIS MAY HAPPEN. GFS HAS NO SNOW BANDS
DEVELOPING OVER OUR CWA.

LONG TERM...

FOR THE LONG TERM...A GRADUAL WARMUP BEGINS ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY
AS SOUTHERLY FLOW RETURNS AHEAD OF THE NEXT TROUGH. MORE SPRING LIKE
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEK. THE NEXT
UPPER LOW IS CURRENTLY FORECAST TO TRACK TO THE SOUTH OF THE AREA
WHILE ANOTHER FRONT APPROACHES THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY.
THIS FRONT APPEARS TO BE DRY SO HAVE LEFT POPS OUT FOR NOW.
