OK, so here's, here's the story.
Tomorrow if you live in Denton County,
if you live in Tarrant County,
if you live in Johnson County.
We have wise, we have Parker,
we have hood, we also have Somerville.
All the locations off to the to the West.
You're under an ice storm warning.
This is a real deal.
I mean, this is a significant situation
where you could see up to 1/2 an inch
of ice that is crippling ice. I mean,
that's a lot of weight on power lines.
So some power outages certainly
are more likely tomorrow in
these locations than these.
Locations that aren't under
the Ice storm warning,
but everyone that's not
under that Ice storm warning,
you still have ice in your forecast.
That's why we're all under a winter
storm warning until 6:00 AM on Thursday.
So it's sleep and it's also freezing rain,
which is just plain old ice.
And that will create more
problems on area roads.
Right now,
a bit of a lull in the precip activity
across the Metroplex off to the Northeast,
we have sleet that's depicted
here on the radar in the purples.
We have sleet down here off
to the southwest of.
4th we have freezing rain down
here by Corsicana and Mahea.
That's the pink stuff and just
the plain old fashioned rain.
That's the green that we're
all accustomed to seeing.
That's over here.
East Texas and Southeast Texas.
That's where temperatures are above freezing.
Nacogdoches Center right now, Shreveport,
LA, is at 36, Longview is at 33,
Linden and Texarkana both sit at 36.
But everywhere West of that line,
it's right where it has been.
I think it's 39 hours right now.
We're in that 26 to 29 degree
temperature range temperatures.
I've heard people say today,
boy, it's getting colder out.
It's not getting colder,
it's just staying the same that it's
been for the last, you know, 39 hours or so.
We're at 27 right now in Dallas
and in Fort Worth.
My forecast tonight.
Here you go,
that's freezing drizzle and freezing rain.
I think that was Scoop Jefferson I
heard just a few minutes ago said
there's freezing drizzle out there right now.
So watch this.
That's eight o'clock. There it is.
It's still around at midnight.
There it is at 6-7.
There's 7:00 o'clock tomorrow morning.
That's all freezing rain tomorrow morning.
Watch this.
It's scattered throughout the morning.
Tomorrow this is noon.
Then as we head through the afternoon,
look how widespread it is.
It's 100% coverage as we head
through the day tomorrow,
scattered during the morning,
then widespread during the afternoon.
This is 6:00 PM tomorrow,
and here comes the freezing line.
Temperatures do warm up.
We don't make it above freezing until
about 9:00 in the morning on Thursday.
So this is midnight tomorrow night.
And then by seven o'clock,
8:00 o'clock in the morning on Thursday,
we'll still have freezing precip
around at sunrise Thursday.
That's why I believe that we'll have more.
And we're going to have all that
precip that that freezing rain
tomorrow and sleet tomorrow.
We'll have it around even at Sun
right before sunrise on Thursday.
That's why I believe the kids will have
school cancelled on Thursday as well.
I think some of it will even linger.
We're not going to have
any more precip on Friday,
but we'll have stuff that will melt
Thursday night, Thursday afternoon,
because we make it up to 37.
It melts and then it will
refreeze Thursday night,
and that'll create some cancellations or
at least delays on Friday morning as well.
So check this out.
There's nine in the morning Thursday,
we're in the 20s all night tonight,
27, we make it up to 31 for the high
temperature by by 31 at 7:00 AM on Thursday,
37 degrees.
That's our high temperature on Thursday.
But 34 at 9:00 AM on Thursday.
That puts us above freezing for the
first time since 7:00 PM Sunday.
So it's 86 hours.
At or below freezing,
and then we drop right back below freezing.
We're at 34 degrees.
Then by 4:00 AM on a Friday,
we're at 31 degrees.
So we'll be back below freezing late Friday.
Late late Thursday night early early on
Friday morning tonight 27. That's it.
Temperatures don't move at all.
Icy roads and cold tonight,
widespread freezing rain,
icy cold and breezy tomorrow 31 the high.
Finally,
we dry out in the sun's out on Friday.
Let's all look forward to
Friday for lots of reasons.
But 51 on Friday, sunshine at 57.
Saturday sunshine in our forecast on Sunday.
Sunday's high temperature is 62.
