I'm. I I mean, I'm totally serious.
I mean, this is my concern is,
you know, we've had,
we've had the melting today, then we
had a big batch of rain moved through.
We're gonna have black ice.
It's possible anywhere that
I've shaded in in blue.
I mean, other than the Tyler area,
Jacksonville, Nacogdoches, you know,
I mean this whole area has the
potential for black ice tomorrow.
So just what exactly is black ice?
Well, it isn't really black, right?
We know that.
Here's what we're talking about.
It's actually this very thin layer
of ice on top of the pavement.
You can't see the ice.
It just looks like you're looking
at the pavement and you've
got you've got a real problem.
So black ice is just a thin layer
of transparent ice that forms
on roadways and other surfaces,
making them slippery and difficult to see.
The ice appears black because
it's it's just transparent.
The color of the pavement,
of the surface beneath it shows through.
What does it do?
What can cause vehicles to slide
loose traction leading to accidents?
Please give yourself some some extra
time tomorrow morning to for goodness sakes,
Dr. slowly tomorrow.
We dropped to freezing at 7:00 PM on Sunday.
We hit 33.
That's a degree above freezing at noon today.
Look at that 89.
Almost 90 hours, 89 hours.
We were at or below freezing
in the Dallas Fort Worth area.
It's not a record.
It's not in the top ten,
but 89 hours is a long time.
Right now we're at 34 degrees at midnight 33.
We hit freezing at three in the morning.
We'll have a low tonight of 29 degrees.
At 10:00 tomorrow morning, we're up to 33.
Degrees.
So again,
we have that window of time,
a number of hours where we're
going to be below freezing tonight
and all that residual moisture
that's going to refreeze tonight,
that's going to create problems.
Again,
there's a lot of water out there
right now that's going to refreeze.
We're going to have the black
ice tomorrow morning,
and then why don't we just throw
in a little bit of freezing fog?
Why not?
Let's make things just a little,
potentially a little worse.
We're going to have to deal
with that tomorrow morning, too.
Finally, we hit 45 tomorrow with sunshine.
After that fog gives way to sunshine,
we're going to have some fog.
Start the day tomorrow morning,
and already right now we're getting
some reports that it's pretty
dense in a number of locations.
So please be careful if you're
going out overnight tonight or
certainly if you're gonna be out
early early tomorrow morning.
Here's all the rain. There it is.
There it goes. Watch this.
There we are, 34.
Dallas, already freezing to Fort Worth.
The same in Denton. The same in Decatur.
34 in McKinney, 31 at Sherman 35.
Corsicana 31 right now in Granbury.
That's fog right now across the area.
That's at midnight.
Watch my forecast overnight.
All of that is fog.
That's what we start with.
Tomorrow morning, cold tomorrow morning,
Dallas drops to 31.
Denton, 2725 and Sherman 28.
In Paris, 30 and Terrell 30 in Fort Worth.
29 in Granbury,
26 in Mineral Wells into the Metroplex we go.
Look at Plano.
You're low to an tonight, tomorrow morning.
29 the same in Salina. Anna Rockwall.
29 the same in Mesquite,
Lancaster, Kaufman and Terrell.
All three of you hit 3029 in Arlington,
27 and Alito. 27 in Benbrook.
Chico. 28 in Decatur Springtown.
See what I'm talking about?
26 in Weatherford.
A cold one indeed.
And remember patchy freezing fog,
it's already developing.
Across the area it will only
intensify as we head through the
overnight and certainly during the
early early morning hours tomorrow.
So gradual clearing tonight.
Then the fog fills in.
Black ice, dense fog.
29 for the low tonight
during the day tomorrow,
patchy freezing fog in the morning.
Then the sun comes out.
We hit 45 tomorrow, the next 10.
Sunshine at 56 on Saturday,
partly Sunny 67 Sunday, 71 Joe on Monday.
A little bit of rain.
Thunderstorms Tuesday and Wednesday and
another low shot of rain next Friday.
No record heat, no more ice, no more snow.
We finally thaw out.
It should be safe to drive
by late tomorrow morning.
Give yourself plenty of
time and be careful.
