winter weather

There’s a reason behind those cool mornings that are staples of fall weather, and it has to a lot do with longer nights and shorter days. The phenomenon is called radiational cooling, and here’s how it works.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released its long-range forecast for this upcoming winter season. With La Niña ongoing in the southern half of the country, including Texas, we can expect a warmer and drier winter.

The massive winter storm bearing down on the East Coast could pose health risks you’re not expecting. Don’t forget that it takes energy to stay warm, so your body starts working hard as soon as you step outside into the cold. That’s why it’s easy to overdo it when you add physical activity like shoveling snow.

Crews prepared Tuesday for winter weather in cities across North Texas.
