Uh, today's about as good as it's gonna get.
I'm telling you today's high was 55.
That's the warmest I have.
Over the next nine days I have,
I will say, Teresa,
I have 60s in the 10 day, OK there.
I can get on board with that.
But first we have to deal with this.
So the normal highs 57 right now,
52 SE wind at 10 miles an hour.
Clouds have built back into North
Texas and we are expecting that.
We're expecting a chance of rain
late tonight, overnight sprinkles,
that's really about it.
And then as we go through Monday.
We'll see an increasing rain.
Chance S and east of the
Dallas Fort Worth area,
that's the best chance to see rain.
7:00 o'clock in the morning on Monday.
Could be some rain around for the commute.
Best chance of that South of the Dallas Fort
Worth area, Corsicana, Athens,
Canton, Waco, Hillsborough. You
see how the rain becomes more
widespread by 9:00 o'clock
in the morning.
There's rain in the Metroplex at 9:00 AM.
Hillsborough and Corsicana.
This is the area that's certainly
going to see the heavier rain,
and that'll continue through midday.
There's 12:00 PM,
it's in East Texas by the afternoon.
Clouds unlikely to shift out of the Metroplex
in most of North Texas until it's too late.
Western portions of North Texas Graham,
Breckenridge, and Eastland and see a
good amount of sunshine late in the
day before clouds go back to the West.
So it'll be a mostly cloudy
day no matter what.
It's not going to be a ton of rain,
1/10 to 1/4 of an inch
southeast of the Metroplex.
A trace to maybe 1/10 of an inch for
parts of the Dallas Fort Worth area.
By far the bigger story is
going to be the cold air.
You can see it creeping into parts of
the US Now it's 3 below in Bismarck.
This is actually going to get a lot colder
over the next couple of days before
it dislodges into the US I mean,
it's well below 0 in Canada.
None of this is terribly surprising,
but when you get that moving S,
that's where it can hurt and that's
what's going to happen this week,
that Arctic air gets displaced
and it brings itself all the way
into our state. So there it is.
On Thursday, the Arctic Front
passes through Thursday.
With its passage. There could be
a few flurries or sleet pellets.
I don't want you worrying about
snow and ice accumulation.
That preparation is really unnecessary.
It's the cold air that
you need to prepare for.
You have the next few days to do it.
Look at the low Friday 13,
the high 25, Christmas Eve 34,
the high with a low of 19 in the morning.
And then Christmas Day will be a
chilly 141 will go above freezing,
but 24 in the morning.
So here's a little more of a detailed look.
These are the lows.
Friday morning, Red River counties,
single digits, Friday,
Wichita Falls, buoy,
Gainesville between 8:00 and 9:00 degrees
bottom. And Paris and
Clarksville, same thing.
Dallas 13, Terrell 12,
Mineola 11, Greenville 10.
And then you factor in what will be a
pretty breezy wind, a breezy breeze.
It's going to feel like 5 below to
10 below across parts of North Texas.
We have the wind chill going down to
10 below Friday morning in Gainesville.
6 below in Mineral Wells,
5 below 0 in Dallas, 3 below 0
in Waxahachie and two below 0 in Corsicana.
What should you do?
Well, have you looked at the pipes,
the faucets, the plumbing?
What do you need to protect?
You still have three days to do that.
Do not wait.
Also, finish your Christmas shopping.
You don't want to do it Thursday or Friday,
I promise. Turn off your sprinklers.
Don't forget to do that.
Also the plants I you know,
don't forget about those either.
Cover them.
You may already have them covered from,
you know, temps in the 20s and low 30s.
Pay attention to that also,
most importantly, pets and people don't
leave pets outside in this type of cold.
It's extremely dangerous.
And make sure you check on those
that need to be checked on.
Tonight. 44 degrees, a few showers,
not as cold with mostly cloudy skies.
Tomorrow, 47 more clouds,
more scattered showers.
There's the next 10 days.
There's the cold, cold air.
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
I know somebody.
I can see it.
Well, no one said it was gonna get this cold.
I promise you,
it's gonna get extremely cold
by the end of the week.
Prepare now,
but look at the end of the 10 day 63,
the following Wednesday.
