 Winter storm warnings have been issued for parts of Southeast Texas into Southwest Louisiana as record breaking snowfall has already begun to pound the region. Rain has changed over to all snow in the last few hours over Southeast Texas, with heavy snow in the counties surrounding Houston of Jackson, Pearland, Fresno, and Fort Bend, with an inch of snow already reported in Jackson County. Isolated accumulations of 4-5 inches appear likely over some areas, especially in the slighly higher elevations away from the coast. The main features responsible for this event are the powerful cold front that swept across the Central U.S. and is forecast to dig south toward the Yucatan, and the uplift associated with the right entrance region of a jet streak embedded wtihin a massive western U.S. trough. The combination of these ingredients is forecast to result in an historic winter storm across a region that rarely ever experiences snow!
