Area Forecast Discussion

.SHORT TERM... /NEW/
Update:
The cold front is moving into far Western North Texas at this hour
and is outperforming guidance by coming in colder than previously
thought. Freezing rain is currently being reported as far south as
Fort Sill, OK. Expect the cold air to barrel south through the day.
The forecast was adjusted to reflect this change by moving up the
onset of winter precipitation. We now have sleet and freezing rain
starting over Montague/Young/Jack Counties as early as 10-11 AM.
The tail-end of the evening rush hour over the far NW of the
Metroplex is now likely to be impacted by winter precip late this
afternoon. The other result of the cooler temperatures is that
less ice is forecast over Western North Texas. While there will be
less ice, there will be more snow and have increased our high end
snow forecast to range between 4-6 inches. We remain confident of
a significant ice storm occurring tonight, although there may be
more sleet than we previously thought due to the cooler temps. The
remainder of the forecast discussion below still applies.
That's funny because at 5:50am the wind was from the NW @ 8 mph, enough to make the wind chimes on my front porch to sing, and there was a noticeable chill as well, got out of gym 7:30am and it was much colder then when I went in @ 6am.
It was 43 at Meachem Airport an hour ago, and I would say it's about 39 now.
