Lubbock, TX – A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for the far southern Texas Panhandle and central and northern South Plains until 9 a.m. CST today, impacting travel with ice and dense freezing fog.
According to the National Weather Service in Lubbock, a thin glaze of ice is expected on roads and overpasses, creating slick conditions. The advisory also warns of dense freezing fog, which could reduce visibility for morning commuters.
Officials urge drivers to use caution, allow extra travel time, and be prepared for sudden changes in road conditions. The combination of icy roads and reduced visibility increases the risk of accidents, especially on bridges and overpasses.
Temperatures are expected to remain below freezing through the morning, with conditions improving later in the day as temperatures rise. Travelers should check local updates before heading out.
