NICE WEATHER INTO THE WEEKEND…
Temperatures tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday will be in the low to mid 60s! There will be lots of sunshine each day. Chilly mornings though as we start in the 30s during the early going each morning.
SNOW STORM FOR THE DEEP SOUTH…
Snow in Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia today! Below is the map from 4pm today. You can see that area of low pressure right oer Atlanta generating snow.
COLD AIR MOVING SOUTH…
Cold air in Canada will be moving south the next few days. We will just see a glancing blow of this cold air on Monday, but it will be very cold in the Midwest. In fact, this will be some of the coldest air they have seen in Minneapolis in 4 years. Here’s a look at the cold air in Canada.

DROUGHT UPDATE:
Last week’s soaking rains really helped improve the drought situation across the state. Just the first 17 days of January have been wetter than the previous 3 months. Below is a look at the rainfall totals from just this January compared to October, November and December of last year!
DROUGHT MONITOR
The latest drought monitor came out today. Below I wanted to show you how much we have improved. The image on the right is last week’s report. The image on the left is this week’s report. Note how much of the red area has shrunk. The red shaded areas are the areas in the worst category of drought (extreme and exceptional).
Below are the percentage change in the amount of the state covered in the different drought categories.
LAKE LEVELS…
The rain did help increase the lakes in North Texas. We still could use more though. All lakes are below conservation level.
But the total capacity of North Texas lakes sits at 84%.
