Welcome back.
We're gonna take a live look
at DFW International Airport,
which really leads the world right now,
and cancellations at midday here.
That's according to FlightAware.
Some of those flights,
if not all, are weather related.
But it's not just us here in North Texas,
there's some winter weather happening
across the country as well.
Here's Dallas Love Field tower Cam.
You can barely see anything out
there at the airport is dealing
with more than 100 cancellations.
Its main airline, southwest,
has the most of any carrier in the
world right now, more than 300.
Some of that is whether in Austin,
Nashville and Denver.
Bad shot you can you can hardly
see anything out there from that
camera probably froze over there.
Alright, let's talk weather.
I'm here with meteorologist Maria,
Louise and Marielle.
You know we're talking about this not
just happening in North Texas but
across the country in some parts,
some seeing some people in in
I guess Arkansas,
Ohio that are talking about this ice storm.
Absolutely. So what I actually
my previous two markets I worked
in Austin and I worked in Little
Rock both locations dealing with
similar conditions, a Little Rock.
Actually under an ice storm warning
and as of the latest update they're
dealing with way more ice than
what we are and you know today we
are dealing with more sleep than
we are freezing rain at least we
did this morning and that actually
is not as bad as freezing rain.
So I I'm there are still a
danger there absolutely.
But it's it's better than freezing rain
just a sleek give it a little bit of
a cushion it a little bit of a grit
you know with the with the freezing
rain it it would have been a bit more.
Like glaze,
more of a black ice,
which don't get me wrong,
that is still out there,
but at least that sleet you can
see and it doesn't give you a
false sense of security there.
So I do want to let you know about this,
the winter storm warning that does go
until 6:00 in the morning on Thursday
and it does include all of North Texas.
This is because we have sleet and
freezing rain accumulations anywhere
between A10 to half of an inch.
We've already seen a few
isolated amounts however,
close to 1 inch and and that's reports
coming out of the National Weather Service.
We're looking over Dallas right now and
you can see that white that is a sleek,
that just kind of has a blanket
over Dallas right now.
It was with that band of heavy
Sleep that we saw this morning.
Not only did we see that sleep on the ground,
it was limited visibility when
that was happening and that's what
bands of winter precip can do.
They kind of are just consistent and
they move over the same area causing
some of those high accumulations.
The Dallas temperature right now of 26,
it feels like 16.
So yes, we're also dealing with very cold.
Conditions,
this is a look at what radar
is doing over the last hour.
You can see how that's kind of moving.
It's moving from the South to the
north and east and we are seeing a
break in the band for some portions
of the Dallas Fort Worth area,
Tarrant County seeing a break with some
of that of freezing rain and sleet mix.
We still see some of that sleet across
portions of eastern Dallas County.
This extends into Collin County,
Hunt County, seeing a little bit of that,
even some snow flurries mixed in.
But by the time it makes it to the ground,
it's more so that ice that's making
it to the ground and the pink here,
that's what we do not like to see.
That's the freezing rain and that
extends from Hillsboro and towards
Ferris there along 45 a big look at
just how this area is shaping up.
We're seeing freezing temperatures and
we're seeing frozen precip across the area.
Now this is just one of the bands,
one of the waves that we've been
talking about that's going to cause
some of the high accumulations we have.
More on the way.
This is Tuesday at 2:00 in the afternoon.
So today in a couple of hours,
we're going to see this band
kind of thin a bit more as it
progresses more towards the East,
it's going to line itself up from
Navarro County towards Sulphur Springs,
towards Texarkana is where that
heavy stuff is going to be.
But we do see some breaking
up across the I-35 corridor,
and this is Tuesday around 6:00
in the afternoon.
So we do see a bit of a break.
We're going to see just some
scattered activity overnight.
It's not going to be as heavy
as what we saw this morning.
To come Wednesday morning,
we're going to see a different story.
I'm gonna show you this today.
In total,
some of the heaviest hit areas where
where that band lined itself up from
a Brownwood Hamilton towards the
Dallas Fort Worth area between on
average between 1/4 to half an inch.
Some areas though, like I mentioned before,
closer to that one inch range,
speak about tomorrow.
Now this is Wednesday.
At around 4:00 or five in the morning,
we're going to see another
band line itself up, Alice.
That's what models are indicating.
Along the Metroplex and maybe
towards the South as well.
So we're going to continue to
see these hazardous driving
conditions as more ice piles on top.
Right now, 27 degrees, it feels like 14.
We're going to stay in that
freezing territory.
Like Greg mentioned,
he was talking to you about the
temperatures at least until Thursday.
We may briefly make it above
freezing Wednesday night,
but everyone above freezing by Thursday.
Sunshine finally over the weekend.
We still have quite some time to go though,
so definitely make sure to stay updated.
With this right here on WA as we analyze
more data, Cleo for sure.
And once again like you said, make
sure you get that app.
There is a live radar,
you can see what's happening
in your neck of the woods. There's also
a near Me tab so that you can share
your photos and videos like the ones
you're seeing on your screen right now
or just use the hashtag W FAA weather.
Lot of tweets here from Susan
here showing us the sleet has
actually picked up in Colleyville.
Even some Thunder sleet as well.
Another one from Ann showing
us a thick layer of ice out
there in Burleson we'll have.
More right after the break.
