Yeah, there's a lot going on.
So tomorrow some slick spots don't
let your guard down, I will say,
because sometimes what happens is you
get just isolated slick spots and that
causes big problems because people
aren't thinking about it as much, right?
Until it's really, you know, really
coming down with freezing rain and sleet.
So here's what to expect this
week Monday patchy freezing
drizzle or light freezing rain,
mainly in the afternoon and evening,
that could cause a light glaze
of ice on elevated surfaces.
That means bridges and overpasses.
Be very careful on those, especially
if you've seen drizzle in that area.
Now on Tuesday this is when
the heaviest precip will fall,
or at least frozen precip.
So Tuesday on and off, freezing rain.
I see travel is expected in places.
This is in the Metroplex.
A glaze to 1/4 of an inch is possible of ice,
and temps will stay near freezing all day.
And as you might know, 1 degree is
going to make a humongous difference.
And who sees what on Tuesday?
Then on Wednesday, freezing rain,
in the morning it looks like we'll be above.
Freezing by the afternoon for a
bigger portion of North Texas,
and that just means a cold rain.
So really,
the time frame for Monday night through
Wednesday morning is the biggest concern.
That's why there's a winter storm watch
that's been issued for exactly that
time from noon Monday through 9:00
o'clock in the morning on Wednesday for
all of the Metroplex and most of North Texas.
And we'll have to see what changes with this.
It'll either become a winter storm
warning for some and ice storm warning
or a freezing rain advisory for others.
We'll have to see.
But nonetheless,
we're expecting wintry weather
across all of North Texas.
So tonight's quiet.
And I said at the top of the show,
a lot of the questions I
saw tonight was they were,
will I be OK tomorrow morning for travel?
There could be some patchy
freezing drizzle or sleet,
but there's not going to be enough precip
to warrant any concerns for the Monday
morning commute should be just fine.
As we head into midday into the afternoon,
you'll start to see more rain,
freezing rain or sleet start to develop.
It's scattered stuff.
We'll have that scattered freezing rain.
Scattered sleet, maybe some light rain
to the southeast through Monday night.
That's 7:00 PM still just scattered light
stuff Monday evening and late Monday night.
So light freezing drizzle.
This is kind of a breakdown of
what we just saw here.
Pink shaded area,
light freezing rain or drizzle.
That's where we could see that
glaze of ice on elevated surfaces.
A chance of rain though in eastern
portions of of North Texas and East Texas.
Not really expecting frozen precip there.
Now let's get into Tuesday.
So overnight,
Monday into Tuesday,
a more significant wave of freezing rain,
rain and sleet will move into North Texas.
This is 7:00 o'clock in the morning.
See, it's pretty widespread.
Tuesday morning commute doesn't look good,
especially as we get into mid
morning and late morning.
The rain, the freezing rain,
the sleet will get a little bit heavier.
That's 12:00 PM notice just
rain the farther E you go.
There's that wintry mix.
It's this area here I'm most concerned with.
Because this area is where #1 the
freezing temperatures slam dunk
chance of that happening and the
preset will overrun each other.
That's where the greatest
potential for icing will occur.
7:00 o'clock through 11:00
o'clock Tuesday night.
Still waves of freezing rain and
light and freezing drizzle too.
So icy roads are expected
Monday night into Tuesday,
the most likely area for the
biggest impact right now.
And this could change Gainesville,
Northwestern, Denton County and
farther West of the Metroplex.
Kind of highlighted here in
that purple color now,
Tuesday night still waves of
some scattered freezing drizzle,
some freezing rain.
7:00 o'clock in the morning.
Wednesday, same idea.
It starts to warm up by midday Wednesday,
so that line starts to get a
little bit closer to the Metroplex.
So mainly just rain from Waxahachie,
Corsicana and off to the southeast
with freezing rain to the northwest.
Then Wednesday afternoon, just rain.
It should warm up enough that we just
see scattered rain across North Texas.
Things should start to improve.
Tonight Breezy,
cold and dry 28 degrees tomorrow
31 light freezing rain or drizzle.
There's the next 10 days.
Notice how cold it is Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday.
31 on Monday,
33 on Tuesday 39 Wednesday.
Gets a lot better for the upcoming weekend.
