The worst of our latest arctic outbreak is behind us. We’re off to a frigid start across Texas, and temperatures will struggle to climb out of the 20s this afternoon across the northern half of Texas. Winter precipitation has concluded; we don’t see more of that on our horizon.
Even though temperatures will struggle to climb above freezing in the northern half of Texas today, abducent sunshine should help drastically improve any icy roadways this afternoon. Temperatures across Texas will plunge below freezing tonight, so be mindful of patchy slick spots after sunset.
A more drastic climb up the temperature rollercoaster begins on Wednesday. All of Texas will rise above freezing on Wednesday afternoon. We’ll see 60s across the western third of Texas, with 30s, 40s, and 50s for the eastern two-thirds of Texas. Wednesday night will be warmer, but some locations will drop into the upper 20s. Thursday will be our warmest day through the weekend. High temperatures across the southern half of Texas will rise into the 60s and 70s! We’ll see 40s and 50s across the northern half of the state.
Thursday Night through Saturday
Another strong cold front begins plunging south into Texas late Thursday and Friday. That’ll bring the chill back to the state, with high temperatures in the 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s on Friday and Saturday. By Friday and Saturday mornings, we’ll see very cold temperatures in the teens, twenties, and lower thirties. It’ll be cold, but we won’t go down this whole ‘below zero with lake effect snow’ storyline again.
Next week is looking warm to above-average in the temperature department. With much warmer weather on the way, we’re also looking active next week with multiple rain chances across (at least) the eastern half of Texas. Some long-range weather model data is showing a favorable pattern for beneficial rainfall! Baldy’s head will be thankful for the warmer weather.
Thank you to the influx of folks who have joined us during the last week of wintery mischief across Texas. We’ve seen a plethora of new subscribers on our Texas Weather Center YouTube channel, and a number of you have also downloaded our free Texas Storm Chasers mobile app. Welcome to the family, and we’re thankful to all those long-timers who continue to join us, too! Have a great Tuesday!
Thank goodness. Need the sunshine back.
Rebekah Conklin Most of Texas will see sun today! <3
Texas Storm Chasers yea
Texas Storm Chasers, y’all are great. Thank you for the updates. Can we keep it chilly for awhile, just not freezing. Lol
And rain right ?
Angie Patak Yup! Next week is looking wet across (at least) the eastern half of Texas.
Nooooooo I love this weather. I’d take this for 100 any day.
Robert Haston Right. We finally got cold and it’s going away. I want it to get cold and STAY cold.
Robert Haston so you like snow and ice where you can’t walk or you can’t drive and it’s so cold you have to keep your pipes dripping and your animals can’t get outside and enjoy it and the stores are empty of food and the power has chances of blackouts… no thanks… if you like that you might move to the east!
Ice is actually nothing new to SA. Born and raised here and we almost always have at least one hard freeze and most years even a light ice accumulation like yesterday. I remember helping my dad as a kid dropping pipes… again nothing new or hard. The whole stores being emptied is just SA over reacting honestly being selfish and hoarding. This was never going to be a shut down the city event and most stores were fully restocking each morning (went yesterday around 3pm and there was plenty of food everywhere). Honestly believe ercot was just siding on the side of caution and wanted to be able to say “we warned you, you should have prepared”.
Krystella Mari let see you outside feeding 100 animals and bringing them water from inside in buckets twice a day in this weather. you’re only enjoying it because you’re one of those people who are on your couch inside all day able to do nothing 😜
Katya Butler wow. You got offended and I wasn’t even replying to your comment.
Katya Butler 🙄 and
You’re welcome to follow the cold weather north.
Robert Haston Montana has -57 wind chills, plenty of Vaca cabins available…grin.
Katya Butler yep, those that have no reason to venture out of their homes love this nasty cold
Deej Deej go live in florida then. 🤭
Krystella Mari lots of states can accommodate you on that. Texas, not so much.
Ginger Reid-Schuelke if I had the money and time to take off i would.
Robert Haston you’re a party pooper. 😂🥶
Katya Butler I work out in it. I much prefer 20° over 100°. I’ll take being a little chilly over heat stroke.
Deej Deej I say the same thing about summer people when it’s over 100. I have to work in it. Most of them say they love while sitting in a pool. I’ll take this any day. People have preferences.
Stephen Casper well that makes sense when you work outside but it is still to cold
Stephen Casper I just do not handle the cold real well, I got frost bite in my toes and fingers, so they hurt a lot when its cold and I can not get warm
Deej Deej I can see that. Both can suck.
My goats will appreciate it ,,and me
Yay
Not ready for the Summer heat that’s coming either…wish we had an actual Winter this year.
Winter S Ghaly we still have to get through February!
Texas Storm Chasers true!
Video won’t play. Says video not available
Debbie Perkins https://youtu.be/0tSVbXbuCpM?si=7mA6QM9vaojj0D49 this one on YouTube does
Debbie Perkins sorry – technology occasionally (usually) hates us.
Yes this ice stuff is no picnic you’re virtually trapped in your house….. Can’t wait for 67 here on Thursday!!!!
Kim Loucks trapped in house can sometimes be a good thing 😂
Camilla Currin Baird and please tell me what those good things are cuz I don’t see any not for more than one day at a time anyway…. It’s really not a good feeling.
Until it gets cold again in February
Nancy Wroblewski Well, technically… Friday and Saturday. Next week’s warm streak will last longer, though.
I appreciate your expertise! A weather forecast that I can trust!
Longing for above freezing weather…..
Why does it tell me no video available
That’s why I live in Texas. Here today, gone tomorrow!😉
Here’s to wondering just how much hell fire and damnation we’re in for this summer!! 👺💩👻
NOOOOOOO! When is it going ever going to get cold?
Scott Keiser Friday and Saturday; and probably sometime in February.
Yeaaaa 💕
Good is not “nasty”
I’d be happy with just getting above freezing. I’m not ready for a true warm up yet.
Adrian Bollinger I’m with you. Just above freezing is good
Don’t worry, February will bring more snow and ice. Don’t forget rain and 58/40 degree weather all next week.
Ok Now Got some snow finally! Now I need more maybe 6foot snow drifts over here in Benbrook TX..when the next ice or snow coming 🙂
Thank you, good morning from my Denton/Corinth patio at 14 very cold 🥶 degrees with wind 💨!
Yay!!!!
Any trends for a chilly February?
Sarah Henderson yes we tend to be our coldest in February but not always
Wait… I like my warm weather, but first, where’s the snow yall promised me? I don’t like the cold, but if it’s gonna be cold I want a couple days of snow. Gimme my snow! 😅
Ban Geoengineering & Weather Modification & our weather will return to normal.
