Enjoy today and tomorrow, as the weather is expected to deteriorate significantly. A winter storm watch has been issued from noon Friday to 6:00 a.m. Sunday, with rain, freezing rain, sleet, and snow in the forecast. Travel advisors anticipate hazardous road conditions, and necessary precautions should be taken.
Good morning, and welcome to Wednesday. We are experiencing a calm morning with cloudy skies and temperatures ranging from the upper 40s to low 50s. Some areas received passing showers overnight, which have since moved eastward. We can expect slow clearing from west to east today, with high temperatures reaching the low 60s.
A weak front will move into the area later today and stall near Interstate 20, resulting in a temperature range of 40°F north of the front to 52°F south of the front by tomorrow morning. No precipitation is expected with this front, which will lift northward tomorrow, allowing temperatures to rise into the low 60s with increasing cloud cover.
On Friday morning, a brisk north wind will signal the arrival of an arctic front, bringing widespread rain that will persist throughout the day. Temperatures will drop from the 50s in the morning to the 40s by noon and the 20s to low 30s by evening, with areas northwest of Dallas and Fort Worth falling below freezing first.
The freeze line will then move south and east, with rain transitioning to freezing rain and eventually sleet from northwest to southeast through the overnight and Saturday morning. Temperatures will plummet and range between 15 and 20 degrees by daybreak, with north winds gusting up to 25 mph and wind chills near zero.
Saturday will be particularly miserable, with temperatures struggling to reach 20°F and widespread moderate to heavy sleet throughout the day. Wind chills will remain near zero, and the sleet will eventually transition to accumulating snow late Saturday into Sunday morning.
By Sunday morning, temperatures will have fallen into the teens again, with morning snow and afternoon flurries expected. Some sunshine may break through the clouds, with afternoon highs potentially reaching the mid-20s. Winter weather advisories may be issued for late Sunday through Tuesday morning due to the sleet and snow pack on roadways.
Morning lows Monday and Tuesday will dip into the single digits, with highs on Monday near 30°F and finally rising above freezing to the mid-30s on Tuesday.
