Weather Alert in Texas
Special Weather Statement issued March 15 at 8:21PM CDT by NWS Austin/San Antonio TX
AREAS AFFECTED: Llano; Burnet; Williamson; Val Verde; Edwards; Real; Kerr; Bandera; Gillespie; Kendall; Blanco; Hays; Travis; Bastrop; Lee; Kinney; Uvalde; Medina; Bexar; Comal; Guadalupe; Caldwell; Fayette; Maverick; Zavala; Frio; Atascosa; Wilson; Karnes; Gonzales; De Witt; Lavaca; Dimmit
DESCRIPTION: The strong cold front pushing across South Central Texas earlier this afternoon through this evening, brings a much cooler airmass across South Central Texas. Monday morning's lows over parts of the Hill Country and southern Edwards Plateau are expected to drop into the low to mid 30s with wind chills into the low to mid 20s. Temperatures into Tuesday morning will become even lower thanks to light winds and clearing high level cloud cover. This will lead to a light freeze across most of the Hill Country along with rural portions of the I-35 corridor and coastal plains and low- lying valleys. This cold episode could bring some challenges as growing season may have started over portions of the region. Therefore, we recommend to protect the four P's: Plants, People, Pets, and Pipes for the next few mornings. After Tuesday morning, expect warmer temperatures to prevail through the rest of the week.

Cirrocumulus clouds form at high altitudes (usually around 5 km)
and have distinguishing characteristics displayed in a fine layer of
small cloud patches. These small cloud patches are sometimes referred to as
"cloudlets" in relation to the whole cloud formation.
Cirrocumulus clouds are formed from ice crystals and water droplets. Often, the
water droplets in the cloud freeze into ice crystals and the cloud becomes a
cirrostratus cloud. Because of this common occurrence, cirrocumulus cloud
formations generally pass rapidly.
