Frigid Temperatures to Rise for New Year’s

Temperatures across Texas are expected to rise as 2023 draws closer.

North Texas most recently endured a cold front that dropped North Texas to sub-zero temperatures, as previously reported by The Dallas Express. This cold front was part of a much larger winter storm that swept the United States.

The “historic” storm brought hard freezes, blustering winds with negative wind chills, and accumulating snowfall. This system also disrupted holiday travel across the United States, canceling and delaying thousands of flights.

Last week, the lowest temperature recorded in North Texas dropped to 11 degrees in DFW.

The National Weather Service in Fort Worth told The Dallas Express that none of the snow that fell across the region managed to stick or disrupt local roadway travel.

Temperatures across the United States dropped below zero degrees and blanketed a large portion of the nation in snow.

At least 57 people are reportedly dead following the storm as of December 26, according to NBC News. The storm left at least 27 dead in New York in what was reportedly one of the worst weather-related disasters in that region’s recent history.

December 26 will feature local highs in the low- and mid-50s, while the low will remain in the high 20s and upper 30s.

A small cold front was expected to arrive on Monday, dropping overnight lows into the 20s, making it the coldest anticipated night of the week.

However, the warming trend is expected to continue through the week. Temperatures across the region are expected to continue to rise into the new year.

Above-normal temperatures will return by December 28, with highs in the 60s to low 70s and lows in the mid-30s and low 40s. Rain chances will also return to the region by December 29.

High temperatures for New Year’s Eve are expected to rise into the 60s and 70s, while lows will be in the 40s and 50s.

New Year’s Eve climatology for the region said the normal maximum temperature for New Year’s Eve is 56 degrees; the normal minimum temperature is 36 degrees.

The highest maximum recorded temperature for that day occurred in 1951, with a high temperature of 85 degrees. The lowest occurred in 1946, with a low of 25 degrees.

    So in 1946 and 1951 there were unusually high and low temperatures. Hmm, how many vehicles do you suppose were on the roads back then? Anyone notice that the weather has gotten more drastic since the dems took over? They’re blowing billions of dollars on so-called climate change and there’s no telling where that money is actually going. I know from experience that doctors/scientists will tell you whatever you want to hear if you give them enough money. Want to help the atmosphere, plant tons more trees. They provide shade and oxygen. Do something concrete. Giving tons of money to scientists does exactly squat. Blaming storms on climate change. So what caused the massive hurricane in Galveston in 1900? They cannot control the weather. First it was global warming. Then they decided on climate change. Well, doesn’t that just encompass everything. Try reading up on the world history of weather. All the way back to the days of no automobiles, no factories. Cold fronts are certainly nothing new.
