Here It Comes!!!

North Texas is gonna fall in to the deep freeze this week. The cold air, originating in Siberia, is expected to make it's initial push into the Red River Valley Wednesday, and stay here through Christmas. As it stands now, it looks as if the cold air may even get colder Thursday and Friday(Christmas Eve). Temperatures in the teens look like a good bet during the night-time hours of Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Can't rule out some single digit readings. Any moisture that pushes our way would result in snow, but it appears no major snow makers are in the forecast.

This weather map shows the forecast location of the artic air on Thursday Evening. The blue colors represent temperatures below freezing. The purple shades over Missouri, Kansas and Okahoma represent temperatures that range from 8 above to about 9 below. The red hues over Canada, Minnesota and Iowa promise readings from -10 to -22. Let's not even talk about wind chill!
