All right kiddies, here we go! The pattern change I discussed late last week is slowly starting to evolve this week. We are expecting one weak system late Tuesday into early Wednesday and a stronger system along with bitter cold air arriving Friday into the weekend.Will we see a winter storm this weekend???
Good morning, everyone. I welcome my friends and followers to Monday. For those who have the day off, I hope you enjoy the time with your loved ones. We are waking up to a mainly clear sky with temperatures in the upper 20s to mid 30s. I am tracking a weak-windy cold front that will arrive in the area this morning, but no precipitation is expected. This will result in temperatures being about 10 degrees cooler than yesterday, with readings only warming into the low 50s. Considering the north wind gusting up to 25 mph, it will feel like it's in the 40s all day. Please dress warmly.
Protect your plants, pets, and pipes before bedtime tonight, and remember to drip your faucets. Morning lows will dip into the mid to upper 20s by Tuesday's daybreak. Increasing clouds are expected by afternoon, with highs reaching the mid to upper 50s. There may be a few showers moving in after midnight into Wednesday morning, which will continue through the first half of Wednesday. Afternoon highs will remain in the 50s. Current rainfall totals are expected to be less than a tenth of an inch.
Thursday is expected to be mostly cloudy with highs in the upper 50s. Thickening clouds are expected on Friday, with highs in the mid 50s around the noon hour. After that, things will take a turn for the worse.
There are several variables to monitor throughout the week. Firstly, the arctic cold front is a given and will blow through around noon on Friday, bringing in the coldest air of the winter season. Temperatures on Friday will fall from the mid 50s during the early afternoon to the mid 20s before midnight. Readings will level off in the upper teens to low 20s on Saturday morning and remain in the 20s all day long. Considering the north winds gusting up to 25 mph, wind chills will be in the teens.
We will wake up to a mostly cloudy sky on Sunday morning, with lows in the teens to low twenties. I do not anticipate temperatures rising above freezing on Sunday afternoon. My current forecast is 30 degrees, it might be colder.
Regarding wintry precipitation, it is still too early to discuss the exact amounts of freezing rain, sleet, and snow we may receive in north Texas late Friday through possibly Sunday. It is also too early to discuss the exact timing and changeovers between the different types of precipitation.
Please monitor my page and listen to NewsRadio 1080am KRLD throughout the week for updates on this evolving winter weather scenario. I will provide ample warning time to prepare for this possible winter weather event.
Have a great day today, and please enjoy the weather when you can, it's the only weather you've got!
