Watching the Skies

Todays forecast calls for small areas of light rain, occasionally mixing with snow across parts of the Red River valley and northwest parts of north Texas. Snowfall would be very light, so no accumulations are expected at this time. Snowfall is not likely in Frisco or the DFW Metroplex, and if any occurs itll likely not impact travel since it will be very light. Rain is probable today however, with widespread slight showers across the region. Temperatures during the day should remain above freezing, then drop below freezing around midnight. The cloud cover will likely linger around for the entire day until around midnight when skies will turn partly cloudy.

Forecast for midnight new years eve calls for temps around 32 degrees dropping to 27 by 6am, partly cloudy skies, winds around 10mph from the NNW and no precipitation. This means conditions should be good enough to be outside when the clock strikes 12, but not ideal due to the cold and wind. Since tonight is a 'blue moon', any moon photography should be decent but not ideal due to high humidity and partly cloudy skies.
