Looking Ahead
According to the ​National Weather Service, Patchy to dense freezing fog is expected tonight into Wednesday morning across parts of North and Central Texas, with the thickest fog in North Texas. Light ice may form on roads and other surfaces, creating hidden slick spots. Drivers should exercise caution, leave extra distance between vehicles and allow additional travel time.
While the Arctic blast is expected to ease by midweek, cold temperatures will persist. Highs should reach the upper 30s to 40s, with overnight lows in the teens and 20s — still well below typical North Texas winter averages.
