The temperatures in the Rio Grande Valley are going to get much colder over the next few days will “feels like” temperatures between 8 to 18 degrees possible on Monday morning.
There’s also a potential for a hard freeze on both Monday and Tuesday morning, said Barry Goldsmith, warning meteorologist coordinator for the National Weather Service in Brownsville, in a Webinar this afternoon.
Periods of sleet and freezing rain may occur between midnight Sunday through mid morning Monday, leading to glazes of ice on the roadways.
Goldsmith urged everyone to be cautious when driving on the roads saying “we really don’t want to see here what happened in Fort Worth yesterday morning.”
Dangerous road conditions in the Fort Worth area on Thursday morning led to a 70 to 100 vehicle pile up that left at least six people dead.
Goldsmith said the weather the Valley will experience over the next few days will be the coldest weather of winter 2020-2021.
