There has been a special weather statement issued by the National Weather Service valid until mid morning for black ice. Fog has developed in a lot of places overnight and has created pockets of black ice on untreated roads. Temperatures will rise into the mid 40's today and clouds will be increasing. Lows tonight around 30. There will be a dip in the jet stream that will send some cooler air into SNE tomorrow. Temperatures Thursday will be around 40 and overnight lows will drop to the lower 20's. Friday will see increasing clouds and a likely some rain (brief snow?) Friday evening and overnight. Some evidence for the predictions...

The folks in the Great Plains could use a storm track up through Chicago but this is good for Texas who has seen drought in 2011 and 2012. This is common when the Pacific goes into its cold mode as La Nina's tend to dominate. Have a good day, thanks for reading.
