A Shot Of Winter Weather Headed This Way
ANOTHER HARD FREEZE TONIGHT
Temperatures will be a few degrees colder than last night. Expect morning temperatures to be in the mid-20's across the metroplex by morning with high clouds and a ENE wind at 7-10mph. Wind chills will be in the upper teens but it won't be nearly as breezy as it was today.
CLOUDS MOVE IN TOMORROW
There'll be snow out in the panhandle of Texas tomorrow, by Sunday afternoon it'll be cloudy and a little windy here as the system approaches. Highs will get to the low-to-mid 40's with a southeast wind. No travel problems tomorrow.
SUNDAY NIGHT: OUR FIRST WINTER WEATHER INSIDE THE METRO THIS SEASON
It's been a mild winter so far absent of ANY wintery precipitation recorded at DFW. This will likely change tomorrow night as a snow/rain mix moves into the metro area in the evening hours. Temperatures are going to stay above freezing all night so we won't see any accumulation on the roads. In fact, the only place this might stick to at least to the grassy areas and cars is along our Red River counties from Bowie over to Sherman. This will become a rain/sleet mix in the metro area overnight toward Monday morning. Southeast of the metro from Hillsboro over to Tyler this will only be rain for the event. The low will bottom out around 35° with a brisk SE wind going on.
MONDAY MORNING: A COLD, WET COMMUTE
I expect moderate rain for the morning commute with a few spits of sleet. This will be a sleet/snow mix along the Red River, it could be in Decatur and Denton as well before changing over to rain later in the morning there. Temperatures will be above freezing and get to around 50° by afternoon. The rain could get heavy at times with some thunderstorms just east of the metro area by mid-morning and early afternoon.
WARMER FOR SWEET HEARTS DAY
Tuesday we'll have sunshine and highs in the low-to-mid 60's. Clouds come in later in the afternoon and evening.
WARM AND BREEZY WEDNESDAY, RAIN/STORMS POSSIBLE
Another system swings through here on Wednesday. Highs are going to get around 70° despite the clouds and rain chances thanks to a brisk SSE wind. The rain chances are at 50%. A cold front comes through and means cooler weather for Thursday and Friday. It'll be dry those days with highs in the upper 50's/low 60's.
As of right now we'll put rain in the forecast on Saturday; as we draw closer to next weekend we'll have a better handle on that. We are not expecting any winter weather with this system as it looks right now.
