But I do want you to take a look
at these pictures right here.
Now these are up in the
North Dallas Addison area.
Carol Patton texted me
these are e-mail them to me.
These are the budding Mesquite trees.
Remember the ones I talked about last week?
You know the the Texas lore has it when
the Mesquite trees start to bud out
then we won't have any more freezes.
Well we're going to see Carol if
those there in North Dallas and
Addison if that's the case because
they're definitely budding out.
They're definitely greening up right
now all across not only Dallas,
Fort Worth, but all across.
North Texas.
But that's the way it looks right now.
We'll see if Texas lower holds,
because right now, our last freeze.
The last time we had a freeze,
it's been awhile.
February 18th we dropped to 30 degrees.
The average last one I've been mentioning
this, the average last one was March 12.
So far this season we've had 20.
To date we should average 29.
But the latest last freeze we've ever had,
the latest last freeze on record and
records go all the way back to 1898,
is April 13.
So we still have about a month to
go before we start breaking records.
So it's not unheard of.
And Saturday morning,
Friday morning, Saturday morning,
Sunday morning and Monday morning,
we're going to have 30s across
parts of North Texas.
That's those are my forecast lows for
those four mornings are in the 30s,
but Saturday morning and Sunday
morning a little colder than 38 or 39.
So I do see a freeze most likely
Saturday morning up along the Red River,
it's possible. In Dallas,
Fort Worth, I think it's less likely.
Curious. To the South.
And then Sunday morning,
this is the more likely area for a freeze.
And that includes Decatur.
That includes you and Denton.
Also in McKinney to Greenville to
Sulphur Springs and N to the Red River.
I can't rule it out in Dallas.
Fort Worth. It's certainly possible.
And then I think it's not very
likely to the South.
But yeah,
we're not finished with some
cold temperatures just yet.
Right now we have clouds across the area.
The clouds will continue to thin out tonight.
I'll have any rain out there.
We had some sprinkles earlier today.
This is 7:00 o'clock.
Tomorrow morning we'll have.
Mostly clear skies.
Then we cloud up as we head through the
afternoon. So pretty decent morning.
Not a bad afternoon. We're dry tomorrow.
Tomorrow night we're still dry.
Watch this. Seven in the morning.
Thursday. Some sprinkles.
Thursdays are potential severe weather day.
That's Thursday at noon.
Look at these thunderstorms.
Those are marginally,
potentially marginally severe.
About noon on Thursday.
That then moves into East Texas.
These certainly could be severe
by 3:00 PM Thursday afternoon.
Now watch what develops back to the West.
Moves into the Dallas Fort Worth area.
The East Texas stuff moves out.
Watch this. There's five o'clock.
These little thunderstorms could
pretty quickly turn severe.
At 5:00 PM Thursday, there's 6:00 PM.
These could certainly be severe
at 6:00 PM and then at 7:00 PM
this line east of the Metroplex.
Now this line at 7:00 o'clock could
be severe and then it pushes off
into East Texas and Southeast Texas.
There's some severe thunderstorms,
but the cold front moves through
at 7:00 PM Thursday.
Once the fronts through your
severe weather threat has ended.
And then we're just left with clouds.
And pretty cold temps.
Wait till you see the highs on Friday.
There's our severe weather threat
on Thursday. It's a slight risk.
Large hail quarter,
maybe up the golf ball sized hail,
60 to 70 mile per hour winds
and maybe even the threat of
an isolated tornado or two.
About 80% of us see rain.
Those that see rain,
lighter amounts in Fort Worth,
West of Fort Worth, an inch,
quarter of an inch to 1/2 an inch.
The heart of North Texas, East Texas
could pick up 1/2 an inch to an inch.
And all that's in the forecast.
We dropped the 44 for the low tonight.
Tomorrow we hit 68 sunshine in the morning.
Clouds move in in the afternoon.
A windy day tomorrow winds up to 30,
a warmer day than today.
Today we hit 6280% of a sea rain on Thursday.
There's the big cool down on Friday.
Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Highs only in the 50s,
but look at the lows Friday,
Saturday, Sunday morning in the 30s.
So no doubt some locations in
North Texas will see a freeze.
Right now I don't have a freeze
in Dallas or Fort Worth proper,
but certainly areas within the
Metroplex could see a freeze on
Saturday morning and Sunday more.
