I have been patiently waiting for the 70-degree weather to return but it looks like I will be waiting a while. Another arctic blast will hit the Permian Basin at the end of this week and will be colder than the last.

STAY WARM SAFELY

Everyone will do their best to stay warm as we get hit with the next arctic blast but make sure you are doing it safely.

If you have a space heater make sure it is 3 feet away from any objects including your walls and keep it away from anything flammable like curtains to avoid fire hazards.

Don't use a gas stove to warm up your house. A gas stove releases carbon monoxide and could slowly poison your family.

If you have fur babies that spend a good amount of time outdoors make some preparations. You could try to winter-proof their outdoor shelter or bring them into the house. If you are cold so are your pets!

REST OF TEXAS

Some places in the Texas panhandle are expected to drop to -6 degrees. The DFW area will stay in the single digits, while the coast will see temperatures in the 20s. El Paso will sit on the warm side and only drop to the 40s.

THE PERMIAN BASIN

Here in the Permian, we will see it hit Saturday night into Sunday, hitting around 20 degrees that night. Monday will be the coldest day in the arctic blast with the high only getting to 30 degrees but dropping to about 13 degrees at night.

If you are trying to build a snowman, you will have to keep waiting. It doesn't look like snow is heading our way but you know that can change any minute here in the Permian Basin.
