With the cold air out west gradually expanding east, and the other surge of cold air coming in from Texarkana, the i35 corridor will probably be the last place to drop below freezing in the immediate metro since that’s about where they’ll ultimately meet.

Is that bad news if I’m 35 miles from I35 near Denton? Or just a delay for the frozen stuff?

All observations are in Tecumseh, OK unless otherwise noted.

Winter posts are focused mainly for Oklahoma & Texas.

Take any of my forecasts with a grain of salt, refer to the NWS, SPC, and NHC for official information

Never say Never with weather! Because ANYTHING is possible!

They cut back this year. That didn't work out well in the Hill Country back in July, sadly.

Wunderground map shows a bunch of 33F and 32F readings around Longview. So we're getting close.

Freeze line into Tyler now.

DP and temp seem to be dropping with a 2-degree spread, so once the DP drops a bit, it drags the temp down.

Can confirm a little glazing on my grill, which I forgot to cover, so I guess I just let it ride. So, my thermometer is accurate.

Nah, no delay. The subfreezing air was modeled to flood into the area in this way, and it’s still faster that models like the nam and hrrr have been depicting. You also probably won’t see much freezing rain accumulation at ground level at 31/32 degrees, it’ll mainly be on taller things like trees or roofs at those temps. Maybe on your car?

Just changed over to mostly snow now, little bit of sleet sill mixed in. That line coming through north tx looks like it might just train right over me. Just south of lake texoma in pottsboro.
