From Sunny to Stormy on Saturday

We hope everyone is enjoying the sunny Spring-like conditions yesterday, and today, because later tonight, we'll see some thunderstorms develop, mainly along and south of Interstate 20. A few of the storms could be strong to severe with large hail, and damaging winds as wind shear and instability maximize in that particular area.

The strong storms continue on Sunday east of I-35 and again on Monday for most of our area ahead of an approaching Arctic front. That's when the cold, harsh reality sets back in. We'll see a chance of freezing rain on Tuesday afternoon. In addition, very cold and windy conditions are expected on Tuesday and Wednesday with wind chill levels dropping to the single digits and teens on Wednesday Morning. BRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

Unfortunately after the strong arctic front passes through on Tuesday, we won't get any higher than the 40s anytime soon. Then again, it is still after all, Winter. However, further analyses suggest that we may warm back up into the 50s by next weekend.

To end this entry, check out this video I've captured of the snow that fell in my hometown of Irving. Enjoy!!

*After this blog was made, the winter weather is gaining much more confidence in a major ice event for us and for parts of the DFW Metro area. Temps will not make it out of the 20's for Decatur.*
