crisp taste like no other.
>>> ALL RIGHT AS COVE RACK
CONTINUES NOW, LET’S CHECK BACK
IN WITH FRANK.
>> LOOKING FOR ME?
>> UPDATING YOU --
>> YOU THERE.
>> FINAL DETAILS OF THE
FORECAST.
>> I KNOW.
WE’RE GOING TO INCLUDE JUSTIN IN
THIS ONE TOO.
I WANT TO START WITH THIS.
TAKE A LOOK.
THIS IS SOMETHING ELSE.
FIRE AND ICE.
WOW.
>> NO DOUBT.
>> YOU GOT THAT SNOW ON THE
GROUND.
THAT SUNSET THEY GOT DOWN THERE.
SOMETHING ELSE.
AT LEAST IT’S PRETTY.
THAT’S ALL I CAN SAY ABOUT IT.
IT’S PRETTY.
>> THAT’S IT.
>> ALL RIGHT.
TEMPERATURESMADE IT NOT HIGH,
25, 28 AT HOBBY, AND 34 IN
GALVESTON, AND WE HAVE HARD
FREEZE WARNINGS FROM REALLY FROM
NOW TO NOON TUESDAY.
THAT HARD FREEZE BY DEFINITION
IS SIMPLY 24 DEGREES OR LOWER
FOR THREE HOURS OR MORE, AND
THAT’S, I MEAN, WE ALREADY ARE
AT THAT.
THIS IS GOING TO CONTINUE.
I’VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT POOLS
AND NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVE SEEN
THIS, AND THE POOL, IF YOUR
POWER IS OUT, CAN’T KEEP THE
POOL GOING, AND SO IF THE POOL
WATER LEVEL IS BELOW EQUIPMENT,
OPEN THE STRAINER BASKET ACCESS,
AND THE WATER DRAINS FROM THE
PUMP AND PIPES INTO THE POOL.
TURN OFF BREAKERS IF THEY DO NOT
AUTOMATICALLY TO THE POOL PUMP.
THAT SURGE COULD BE DANGEROUS
FOR THAT.
WINDCHILL WARNINGS THROUGH NOON
TUESDAY AND HARD FREEZE WARNING
CONTINUES, WINTER STORM WARNING
FROM MIDNIGHT TUESDAY INTO 6:00
A.M. THURSDAY.
THAT’S A TENTH TO QUARTER INCH
ACCUMULATION WITH ICE AND
DANGEROUS ROADWAYS.
SPEAKING OF WHICH, YOU CAN SEE
WHAT WE SEE HERE, AND THIS IS AN
ELEVATED AREA, AND THERE ARE A
LOT OF THOSE, EVERY TIME YOU GO
OVER CURVEY OR BUFFALO SPEEDWAY
DOWN TO PARTS OF THE 59 ARE
ALREADY CLOSED IN BOTH
DIRECTIONS.
WHAT?
OH, I KNOW.
YEAH.
THEY ARE JUST GETTING OVER THAT.
>> YEP.
>> IT IS GOING TO CONTINUE.
THAT’S WHAT WE FIGURED WE WERE
GOING TO SEE.
GLAD WE HAVE THAT SHOT.
THIS IS WHAT WE WERE TALKING
ABOUT.
AS SOON AS THE SUN GOES DOWN,
EVERYTHING THAT MELTED ON 59, 59
LOOKED TO BE OKAY, BUT LOOK AT
THE TEMPERATURES OUT THERE NOW.
IT WILL LITERALLY TAKE A FEW
MINUTES FOR THAT TO REFREEZE
OVER, AND ESPECIALLY THE
OVERPASSES.
YOU SAW, A GREAT OBSERVATION,
SLOWING DOWN CLOSE TO THERE, AND
THEY ARE PROBABLY DOING A LITTLE
FISH TAILING AS WELL.
THAT’S PART OF THE PROBLEM.
SO CHECK IT OUT.
WE HAVE A COUPLE CRASHES.
THESE ARE NEW ONES POPPING UP
HERE AS WELL, RIGHT ON 45 AND
TOWARDS THE BELTWAY, AN WE GOT
ANOTHER ONE OUT ON THE KATY
FREEWAY.
THIS ONE, IN PARTICULAR, HAS
BEEN SHUT DOWN AT I-6 -- OR
HIGHWAY 6, THAT IS, AND THE
BEWAY FROM I-10, THAT WHOLE
SECTION HAS BEEN SHUT DOWN MOST
OF THE DAY TODAY, AND A HOUR
AGO, WE JUST GOT IN FROM SUGAR
LAND POLICE DEPARTMENT AS WELL
AND FROM KP GEORGE’S OFFICE THEY
SHUT DOWN 59 BOTH NORTHBOUND AND
SOUTHBOUND BECAUSE OF ICE NEAR
SUGAR LAND.
IF YOU ARE THINKING, OKAY, WELL,
MAYBE I GOT TO GET IN HERE, GET
TO WHOLE FOODS, THAT’S NOT GOING
TO HAPPEN TONIGHT.
BEST YOU DON’T.
ALL OF THESE AREAS THAT ARE SORT
OF IMPACTED ARE A LOT OF ICE.
NOT ONLY THAT, BUT WE ARE SEEING
O ON THE EAST SIDE AS WELL.
A LOT OF SUN AS MENTIONED, AND
THAT’S MELTING THINGS, AND AS
SOON AS IT DID, WE GOT TO
SUNSET, ROBERT ARNOLD MENTIONED
THIS, IT GLAZES OVER QUICKLY.
NOT ONLY THAT, WE SAW SOMETHING
HERE EARLIER TODAY THAT WE HAVE
NOT SEEN IN QUITE A WHILE, AND
YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THIS YET.
I SAVED THIS FOR YOU.
I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING.
THIS IS A SIX HOUR LOOP HERE,
OKAY?
WATCH TWO THINGS.
THERE’S LAKE LIVINGSTON AND
RESERVOIR IN JASPER.
SEE THAT WHITE PUFF FROM THAT,
RIGHT?
IF WE GO AND WE ROLL THIS OVER
THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS THERE,
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS?
THAT’S LAKE EFFECT SNOW.
>> YOU.
>> WE GOT THAT HERE.
THAT GIVES YOU AN CONCLUSION IND
COLD IT IS HERE.
THIS IS NOT CHICAGO.
THIS IS SOUTHEAST TEXAS.
IF THE AIR IS THAT COLD AND THE
LAKE WATER IS COLD, BUT NOT THAT
COLD, MOVES OVER TOP, THIS IS
WHAT YOU GET.
WE SAW IT IN TRINITY AND
GALVESTON BAY AS WELL.
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE FOLKS WILL
SEE THINGS THAT GENERATIONALLY
MAY NOT SEE FOR ANOTHER 30
YEARS.
>> YEAH.
GENERATION IS 30 YEARS.
LAST TIME WAS ’89.
THERE WAS A SNAP IN ’82 AND ’83.
BEFORE THAT WAS 1940.
>> YEAH.
>> SO EVERY 30 OR 40 YEARS,
WE’RE GOING TO SEE THIS.
GET READY FOR IT.
THIS IS REMARKABLE, CHRIS.
YOU MADE THAT COMMENT ABOUT
THAT, EVERYTHING’S SO SLOW, AND
IT CERTAINLY IS.
PEOPLE ARE HAVING A LOT OF
TREPIDATION AS WE CALL IT.
WELL, TEMPERATURES ARE 22 NOW.
NORTH/NORTHWEST WINDS AT 10,
FEELING COLDER THAN THAT.
THERE’S A LOOK AT SEAWALL
BOULEVARD.
DOING A LITTLE FASTER THERE.
YOU FOLKS BE CAREFUL DOWN THERE.
26 DEGREES.
SNOW ON THE BEACH TODAY AS YOU
SAW.
TEMPERATURES IN THE TEENS AND
20s.
24 AND 25, IT IS GOING TO
CONTINUE TO FEEL COLDER.
WINDCHILL WITH NUMBERS IN THE
SINGLE DIGITS.
THE NORTHWEST WINDS 10, 12, 15
MILES PER HOUR.
GUSTING STILL 20, 21, 23, AND
FUTURE CAST TEMPERATURES WILL
TAKE US FROM THE TEENS RIGHT
INTO SINGLE DIGITS IN THE
OVERNIGHT, AND WE BOTTOM OUT IN
0, 2, 3, 6, 1 BELOW IN BRENNAM
AND WINDCHILLS MAKE IT FEEL LIKE
12 BELOW.
THE REASON THE WARNING IS IN
EFFECT FOR 15 BELOW IS CERTAINLY
A POSSIBILITY.
I WOULD STAY PUT AND STAY AWAY
FROM FOLKS AS WELL AS YOU CAN.
HERE’S A LOOK AT THE PLANNING
FORECAST.
I WANT TO GO OVER IT WITH YOU.
SO, TOMORROW, 10 DEGREES WITH A
HIGH OF 30, AND SO, PERHAPS,
WE’LL GET TO 32.
I TELL YA, THE HIGH TODAY WAS
25.
30 HELPS.
IF YOU THINK HOW, IN TERMS OF
THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE, JUST IT
BEING A LITTLE WARMER, HOPEFULLY
PEOPLE WILL BE INCLINED TO TURN
THEIR THERMOSTATS DOWN A LITTLE
BIT.
THIS IS GOING TO HELP SOME.
WE ARE AT 28 AND 40, AND THAT IN
TERMS OF TEMPERATURE WILL HELP
MORE, AND THERE’S THAT CHANCE OF
FREEZING DRIZZLING ON WEDNESDAY.
30 DEGREES THURSDAY, HIGH OF 38.
20%.
THAT ALL GETS OUT OF HERE.
I DON’T THINK THURSDAY’S MUCH OF
A PRECIPITATION DAY.
20% FOR 6:00 IN THE MORNING, BUT
MOST OF THURSDAY CLEARS OUT
ALLOWING US TO GET DOWN TO 24,
THE CLEAR SKIES THURSDAY, AND WE
GET DOWN, AGAIN, VERY COLD, 46
FOR THE HIGH, AND NOTHING LIKE
10 AND BENEATH THAT LIKE WE SEE
TONIGHT.
TONIGHT IS THE BIG ONE FOR THE
COLD AIR.
THEN YOU CAN SEE WE’RE IN THE
60s.
34 TO 50, AND LITTLE CHANCES OF
RAIN AS TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE
60s AND 70s.
CAN’T COME SOON ENOUGH.
