Dallas: A deep trough has brought some seriously cold weather to the southeastern U.S. for the last few days. It’s been a real shock to the system!
Cold air is pushing down from Canada, and it’s expected to stick around. We might even see temperatures drop close to freezing in Florida by midweek. Can you believe that?
With the Gulf of Mexico still warm, the clash of temperatures is setting the stage for a big storm. It’s like nature’s recipe for chaos!
A trough moving over the Rockies is going to kick off a low-pressure system in Texas. This system will head straight for the Gulf and then east toward the Florida Panhandle.
But here’s the kicker: many cities are going to be on the wintry side of this storm. Places like Dallas, Little Rock, and Nashville are bracing for freezing rain and snow.
The power grid is going to be under a lot of stress with high demand across the Gulf states. Ice buildup is expected in central Texas and stretching into the Carolinas this weekend.
Travel is going to be a nightmare too. Heavy snow will make highways impassable from Oklahoma to Tennessee. So, if you’re planning to hit the road, be careful!
On the bright side, the cold front from the low will hang out over the Gulf, which should help keep severe storms at bay. So, there’s that!
Stay safe out there, folks!
