00:00Everything starts to explode on the radar tomorrow morning. There it goes ice a lot of sleet with this
00:05This is gonna be a huge sleet storm in Dallas. I don't know if any of you remember the Thanksgiving Day
00:11Football game in Dallas between Miami and Dallas. That was the famous Leon Lett game
00:17I believe when they blocked the kick and then he touched it in Miami and up winning
00:21But anyway, that's not important. The important was how much sleet fell
00:23That's what it's gonna look like in Dallas
00:25If you can remember that game and what it looked like at Old Cowboy Stadium
00:30That's what it's going to look like in Dallas tomorrow afternoon tomorrow evening
00:33Here comes the snow from Fort Smith toward Little Rock toward Memphis. That'll be around midnight in Nashville
00:39Snow begins around 5 6 7 o'clock in the morning, and I'm gonna say this
00:44Interstate 40 from Fort Smith to Nashville. I think there's sections of that road that will be completely shut down
00:51Do not go on that roadway tomorrow, I think it's snow covered it's gonna be very slippery
00:55There could be some sleet with that as well
00:57It's gonna thump snow by the way in Dallas beginning around midnight tomorrow night in the 7 a.m
01:03Friday a chilly rain in Jackson toward Montgomery and look at this
01:07There will be accumulating snow that goes over to some ice then rain in northern parts of Alabama and Mississippi even Atlanta
01:14I think you're gonna get a few flakes of snow and some ice that eventually
01:18Transitions to some rain how much snow a solid three to six inches from Nashville all the way toward Dallas even toward the Abilene area
01:25Here now north of Dallas there may be a little more than that where we get six plus inches
01:30But the main story is we're gonna be looking at icy travel here
01:33I want to show you the winter cast if you live in Dallas if you live in Oklahoma City if you live in Little Rock
01:38Check out our winter cast and their surrounding areas because you could see what's going on here. It's a very unlikely in Little Rock
01:45We're gonna get over six inches, but it is somewhat likely we can get below three so best case scenario
01:51It's an inch or two worst case scenario. It's five to six inches
01:54There's also going to be some ice with this
01:57Texas as we get in the Thursday night Friday Friday in the Friday night across the southeast the southern areas Atlanta Birmingham
02:03You'll transition to rain, but expect icy travel for a time
