Well, good evening everyone.
I'm Newsday chief meteorologist Pete Delkus.
I want to give you this.
A little extended a little more in depth.
Look at our weather as we head through
tonight and then also into the day tomorrow.
Then kind of a recap with with the snow,
sleet and the the ice totals across the
area and some rain totals to which.
Believe it or not we had a lot of rain
right before everything turned to ice
so but I do want to start with this
first because this is the most important
thing we have a wind chill advisory in
effect right now for all of North Texas.
I mean it's it's all of North Texas
and it's dangerous cold it's.
Tonight and tomorrow morning and
it's a wind chills of anywhere from 5
below 0 to 5 above 0 so late tonight
tomorrow morning.
That's what we'll be dealing with.
So once again,
keep an eye on on on your elderly neighbors
or just your neighbors in general.
And certainly please keep an eye
on the pets too.
'cause it's dangerously cold
weather across North Texas.
Not.
I don't have any record cold in my forecast.
The record load tonight is 8 my
forecast low tonight is going to
be in the middle to upper teens.
Dallas drops to 18 for the low.
15 below in Fort Worth.
Look at Decatur 12 buoy is Decatur's
14 buoys.
12 at 16 in walks a Hachi 17 at Greenville,
15 in Granberry and in Mineral Wells.
Now here these are the wind chills.
That's where we have the wind
chill advisory in the forecast.
Wind chills tomorrow morning in Dallas.
The warm spot at 4 above Fort Worth.
Your wind chill is 1 above grand berries,
one below 2 below 0 indicator and
four below 0 in Bui 2 below 0 in
Gainesville you see what I'm talking about.
Dangerously cold wind chills.
Tomorrow morning the Precip has moved out.
We stay cloudy tonight.
There could be a flurry in the
next couple of hours,
but the precept for the most part has ended.
And what's been left behind is a lot of ice.
Freezing rain totals now look
at bottom and Fannin County,
three quarters of an inch of freezing
rain there, Plano had a half,
so did Breckenridge, Wiley, and Waxahachie.
Both had a quarter of an inch of ice.
The sleet total 's treatment.
That's a that's a innovera county
that's South of Corsicana,
part of Streetman 's in a.
Navarro County,
but Streetman picked up two inches.
Two inches of sleet in Streetman Meridian.
Boschee County had two,
almost two and a half inches
of sleet and had Plano,
Frisco and Maypearl had around a half
an inch of sleet and then snow totals.
The big winner was Eastland,
West of Fort Worth five inches.
Weatherford picked up three and a half gram.
Jacksboro and Granbury picked up
three inches of snow officially
at DFW, a record for the day just a day,
a day record, which was one and a half an
inch and a half of snow was picked up.
At DFW, the old previous record for the day
was set twice back in 1956 and February.
Remember, February 2011,
we picked up 2/10 of an inch of snowfall then
and this is the thing I'm most happy about.
Is is the record rainfall before
all the ice began.
We had over an inch of rain at DFW 1.10.
The old record was .51.
That was all the way back in 1943.
I've been mentioning this for
several weeks that we need 3 to 6
inches of rain to end the drought.
At least we put a dent in it,
but we're still below normal since
December 1st were below normal.
We still desperately need rain.
We're still below normal by almost 4 inches,
so my 10 day forecast it's not a bad one.
We will be near record cold near
record low Saturday morning.
The record is 12.
My forecast is 13 tomorrow.
We don't rise above freezing.
We start at 17 in warm to 32 at least.
Will be above freezing around
lunchtime on Saturday.
Will hit 39 that afternoon,
Sunday still below freezing in the morning.
So whatever melt Saturday,
refreezes,
Saturday night,
Sunday sunshine at 45 we are in the
upper 40s on Monday and then in the
50s on Tuesday and Wednesday and
then back into the 60s Thursday,
Friday and Saturday of next week.
