Live from Dallas, Fort Worth.
This is WFA news. Well, Snow is coming
down in parts of Texas this Tuesday.
Here's a look at Amarillo around Daybreak
this morning before the Sun really rose.
There you got you could see some pet
marks in the snow there.
There's the dog there in the
backyard. This storm system
could also bring a wintry
mix to our area this evening.
Right now though, it's rain and lots
of it falling across North Texas.
We do have crews across the area
checking out those driving conditions.
And then we'll be checking in with
them as well in a few moments here.
Thank you so much for joining us this midday.
I'm clear. Green,
we do have a winter weather advisory
going into effect today at noon.
So let's get straight to
meteorologist Maria Ruiz.
Mariela, this includes
Denton and Collin counties, absolutely.
And that's one of the bigger updates
from last night. Is that wise?
Denton and Collin County,
all included in the Winter weather
advisory that will be in place from
noon until midnight and a few more
counties close to Wichita Falls.
You added to the winter storm
warnings due to the potential of
accumulation of winter mix or snow for
most across that area here locally.
Dallas Fort Worth not included
in this advisory.
We're taking a look at Denton.
This is an area that is included
in that winter weather advisory
temperature of 42 degrees.
I'm seeing very light rain on radar camera
not picking up on it too much right now.
Satellite and radar showing some of the
heavier rain expanding from DFW Airport,
Louisville towards me.
Kenny, middle of Collin County,
seeing quite the downpour there
as the temperature stays above
freezing at 41 degrees,
42 at Alliance Airport,
42 in Fort Worth with light rainfall,
we're starting to see a little bit of
that snow on a radar for far northwestern
portions of Wise County near Chico,
39 degrees there.
We might see this mixing in with the rain,
but by the time it makes it to the ground
it's going to just melt because our
temperatures are above that 32 degree mark.
Here's a look.
Radar in motion over the last hour,
you can see this starting to work
its way just north of Decatur,
between Bowie and Decatur,
just north of Gainesville,
seeing a little bit of that mix as well.
But for the most part,
we're seeing just that cold
rain across Dallas,
Fort Worth,
in fact most of the I-35 Corridor counties.
I've seen a little bit of lightning
out there that's mostly South and east
of the area closer to Navarro County.
Again,
Jacksboro seeing some of that mix already,
but really the line of that freezing
precip that we're seeing is still about.
64 miles to the West of I-35,
we'll see this mixing in closer to the
Dallas Fort Worth area as we approach
the midnight, excuse me, the evening hour.
You can see that here.
This is Tuesday.
Around six.
You can see this Denton County,
but temperatures staying above
freezing as this kind of expands
into the rest of the area.
By 9:00 this evening,
we'll see temperatures in the
mid 30s with that frozen precip
so that snow starting to mix in,
but again,
temperatures at the surface
staying above freezing at least
through the overnight hours.
Do you want to check in with Chris Soggy?
You're in Tarrant County.
What does it look like out there?
I know we've been monitoring
rain there all morning long.
Just checking on the roadways.
Yeah, Mario,
it's just been a mess all morning long.
Pretty consistent rain for hours now.
We're on 35 heading South here in
Fort Worth on 35 W and slick roads.
We got our windshield wipers going.
Visibility is not great.
We see these little digital tech
dot signs that warn of ponding.
And as we've been out on
the highways this morning,
we have seen quite a few crashes,
people getting into trouble with these
wet roads and we see it just about every
time we get a little moisture on the roads.
Tech dot.
He did say that they were
anticipating the wet weather,
so they pretreated the roads,
the major highways,
the overpasses yesterday,
and you were talking about
that possible winter weather.
We haven't seen any of that
yet here in Fort Worth.
We're not sure if that's on the way or not,
but it's something to think about if you
plan on getting out on the roads today.
Again, right now,
just a lot of rain,
no matter where you're going,
you'll want to leave plenty of
time to also to drop your speed
and also account for any backups.
Might be out there.
In fact we saw one not too far back
here on 35 heading South in Fort Worth.
So we will catch up with you a
little bit later on in midday.
For now.
Cleo,
back to
you. Alright Chris, thank you.
Please take it easy out there.
We're gonna take another live look
from our techs dot camera right
now 35 E and Inwood in Dallas.
Drivers are dealing with
some high water out there.
Please be on the watch for areas like
this across DFW and avoid them if you can.
All right, another live book
here at our two airports.
A little gloomy out there for sure.
As of 20 minutes ago,
DFW International Airport
reporting 83 delays so far,
but only a dozen cancellations.
Dallas Love Field reporting 18 delays
so far for those who need someplace
warm to stay right now or maybe later.
The Salvation Army,
they opened a number of warming shelters.
There are others on standby as well.
So there's warming shelters open now in
Arlington, Garland, McKinney and Denton.
There are also locations.
In Fort Worth,
in Louisville,
that our standby right now at the
Salvation Army tells us each shelter
will they follow city and county guidance.
So the exact protocols for when they
open really varies by location.
So we're working on compiling that
information from our area shelters.
You can get all those details
on our website at www.faa.com.
Make sure you download our WFA
app right now if you can.
If you haven't already,
you can follow the radar on the go
and Mario Ruiz and our entire WF.
The weather team will be providing
live updates on that app and on
Facebook as needed throughout
the afternoon and the evening.
