Areas of freezing rain and sleet will vacate Central Texas later this morning, while light snow remains possible in North Texas through the afternoon. There is a small chance for light lake-effect snow to occur southeast of area lakes late this afternoon and evening. Travel will remain hazardous into Monday, even though precip ends today.
Travel conditions are significantly degraded across the region this morning due to accumulating ice and sleet. Stay home and stay warm, don't travel if you don't have to. Check TxDOT for more information on road conditions.
Temperatures will remain below freezing through early Tuesday across the entire region with lows in the single-digits tonight. Wind chills will drop as low as -12 degrees. This is dangerous cold for anyone caught outside. Make sure to keep blankets in your car if travelling. Bring pets inside. Stream water from faucets and cover any exposed pipes. Temperatures will warm above freezing Tuesday afternoon.
A Winter Storm Warning and Ice Storm Warning continue through noon today for all of North and Central Texas. Ice and sleet have accumulated on all surfaces, with additional minor accumulations of sleet and snow expected before precipitation ends later today.
Road conditions are now at their worst across North and Central Texas due to accumulating ice and sleet, with impacts lingering through Monday as temperatures stay below freezing. Avoid travel and stay home if possible. Check on the elderly, and make sure pets have a warm place to stay.
As bitterly cold temperatures arrive this weekend, small bodies of water may freeze over. Frozen bodies of water such as ponds, pools, & hot tubs may look solid, but the ice is weak and unstable. Stay off the ice! If you fall into freezing cold water, hypothermia can ensue rapidly. Also, use extra caution when walking on slippery roads and sidewalks, and wear footwear with proper traction.
It will still be seasonably cold through the middle portion of the upcoming week, but not nearly as cold as the Arctic blast from this weekend. Highs will return to the upper 30s and 40s each day with lows in the teens and 20s.
