Dallas Weather New Years Weekend

[Tide-N-Texas]

December 30 and 31 Sunny and 57.
January 1 55 and partly cloudy

January 2nd (the day that matters)....

Kick off: 40 (east winds 15 mph will make wind chill low 30's), warming to 50 by the end of the game with wind it will feel about 40.

**Side note this is Dallas, the chance of these numbers being the actual forecast is slim to none. If you can be accurate more than 10% of the time you would be the top meteorologist in Dallas.

The most accurate weather forecast I ever heard when I lived in Texas was "Periods of light during the day with gradual darkening toward nightfall." :biggrin:

Yeah, it's actually been pretty mild here so far. Just wearing a light coat. I've only had to pull out my heavy wool p-coat once or twice. Of course, that could very easily change by gameday, but so far it's not bad at all.

If history is a guide,

then I'll guess temps in the 30's and light snow mixed with some ice..... :biggrin: Typical Dallas weather for the Cotton Bowl. Sounds wonderful! :wink:

I would not even trust that forecast in Dallas!

To show you how the forecast can change...

12/19 they said the CB weather would be 40 @ kickoff/winch chill 30's
12/20 CB weather forecast 50@kickoff warming to 65.
12/21 CB weather forecast is now low 30's @ kickoff windchill in the low 20's with a stiff North breeze.

I am sure over the next 11 days we will see 75 and Sunny down to 15 with a massive ice storm.

If you can get temps in the 40s, you're in good shape...man, I remember some COLD Cotton Bowls

I'm all for cold and windy. I think it'll hurt TT more than it will Bama.

Didn't George Carlin give that forecast?

Weather forcast for tonight: dark. Continued dark overnight, with widely scattered light by morning.

My Dad told me once he had :tongue: seen chickens actually freeze on the roost, ha ha, can you believe that? Oh well, just expect anything as far as weather, after all it's TEXAS. RTR!
