Coldest December in 40 years! At least dropping to 11° or below this early in a season.. good morning my friends hope you're staying warm! We don't get above freezing until noon Christmas day, dangerous wind chills, no more snowflakes, and a rapid warm up next week.. those are your weather stories over the next 7 days!
We're waking up this morning to temperatures between 8° and 12°, with wind chills between -5° and -15°... crazy! Remember to keep your faucets dripping until noon Christmas day, keep the pets indoors, and keep your thermostat set to around 68°... unless you're leaving town, then drop your temperature to 62°! Let's help out the grid!
Bone chilling cold today as we struggle to hit the 20° mark with passing high clouds. No more snowflakes.. that stinks!
Another cold night ahead, as temperatures fall back into the mid teens. Plenty of sunshine tomorrow with a high temperature approaching 30°. We're cold again for Santa.. as we drop to near 20° for Christmas morning, but temperatures reach 40° by afternoon! That'll feel better.
Our warm up continues into next week. We'll approach 50° on Monday, mid 50s on Tuesday, mid-60s on Wednesday, and to near 70° on Thursday with a slight chance of rain.. That's a 60° temperature difference in a matter of days. Welcome to Texas in December! As of now, I don't see any bitter cold air for the foreseeable future!!
Stay warm, have a terrific holiday, and enjoy the weather when you can, it's the only weather you've got!
