Let me show you this.
So right now we're there's the winter storm
warning again until noon on Wednesday.
Why till noon? Well, as I mentioned
at the beginning of the newscast,
because about noon on Wednesday is when
we rise to 33 degrees above freezing.
But again, all of North Texas 10th.
A quarter 1/2 an inch of ice.
All that's in the forecast.
Look what Kaylee Nicks tweeted me this.
The sleet drift in Flower Mound.
I'll step out of the way.
Great picture there, Sandra Martinez.
Look at the sleep.
The Thunder sleet in Salina.
And look what Jill Tucker sent me.
Thunder sleet.
In Willow Park, some pretty pictures,
but certainly some problems on roads.
This is a on 170 near 377.
I don't know what this
person's Twitter handle is,
some B mall, something like that.
But you could see the sleep covered
roads the the freezing rain created
some icy conditions and what I've
done here I've cranked up the radar.
Because the drizzle, again,
you just picture drizzle it.
It's just tiny itsy bitsy,
teeny weeny tiny drop water droplets.
OK,
so I cranked up the radar so we could see
the the freezing drizzle that's falling.
It's pretty widespread right now
across Dallas County, Collin County,
Big Ohh, half of Denton County,
almost all of Park County.
Look at Tarrant County covered
up with the freezing drizzle.
Same thing at Kauffman,
also down here at southeastern Dallas County.
So that's all freezing drizzle
on the radar right now.
We take a little wider.
Look, and you could see it's
widespread across the Metroplex,
fairly widespread with this freezing
drizzle here areas off to the the east of us.
So there's the freezing line at midnight.
Now I've switched the the color palette up,
if you will the the pink
that you're seeing here,
that's freezing rain and freezing drizzle.
So Cynthia asked what time
it was going to get started.
And I said before you wake
up because it's 7:00 o'clock,
but about 3:00 or 4:00 o'clock
in the morning,
the freezing drizzle will start to increase
in coverage and a little bit of intensity.
And the drizzle will turn into the freezing
drizzle turns into just freezing rain,
which is a higher intensity rate.
That's three 4:00 o'clock in the morning.
So by 7:00 o'clock.
Pretty decent coverage.
But watch this by 8,
see how it's increasing in coverage.
There's nine, here's 10.
I mean it's really coming down
tomorrow morning there's 11:00 o'clock,
there's noon tomorrow there's and.
And again,
the model that I'm using,
it really doesn't matter because
what's really strange about
this is rarely does this happen,
but all the models are showing
the same thing.
3:00 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
It's still around,
maybe and we're going to have
a little breaks.
There's 5:00 o'clock in the afternoon.
There's six o'clock a little bit of a
break during the evening hours tomorrow.
And then watch what happens overnight.
There's midnight tomorrow night.
Check this out. Here's 345.
There's 7:00 o'clock in the morning
on Wednesday that in Wednesday morning
may be the more substantial round
as compared to tomorrow morning.
There's 7:00 o'clock on
Wednesday there's 8:00 o'clock.
You see what I'm talking about?
Look how widespread this
freezing rain is at 9:00 o'clock.
On Wednesday morning there's 10:00 o'clock.
See the freezing line starting to creep
back a little bit more to the West.
There's 11 in the morning.
Wednesday.
Here's new now by noon we're about
33 degrees.
We could still have some rain,
freezing rain and even some sleet
mixing in at noon on Wednesday.
Then by Wednesday at 7:00 o'clock
the freezing lines back to the West
should be all rain in the Metroplex
and east West of that line it'll be
freezing rain and sleet and those
locations then as we head through the
the overnight Wednesday night and.
Certainly during the day on Thursday.
It's all rained at that point.
So how much ice will we pick up?
Here we go, check this out.
A 10th 1/4,
maybe up to 1/2.
Some of these areas off to the
well to the east of us could just
pick up a glaze or a coating,
maybe 1/10 of an inch.
But that's all in the forecast tonight.
Freezing drizzle, freezing rain,
cloudy, cold and breezy.
We don't drop a whole lot with our
temperatures from where we are right now.
Right now about 28 degrees or so.
We're at 26 by tomorrow.
That's the low tonight.
26 to start the day tomorrow,
we only warmed to 30 a cloudy day,
a cold day, a breezy day,
a widespread freezing rain,
freezing drizzle and sleet on and
off throughout the day tomorrow,
the next 10 days.
More freezing rain and freezing
drizzle Tuesday night.
Wednesday morning we transition over
to a cold rain Wednesday afternoon.
80 to 90% of us see cold rain on Thursday.
Thursday we start above freezing.
We stay above freezing on Thursday
and thank goodness the sun's out
Friday and the upcoming weekend.
Sunshine on Friday 54 partly to
mostly sunny Saturday and Sunday.
Highs for the weekend in the 50s and 60s.
I promise we'll get there.
