Sunday night is expected to be the coldest night across North Texas and Central Texas since January 2024 — and possibly as far back as 2021, according to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth.
Continued gusty north winds, an Arctic air mass, widespread ice, sleet and snow on the ground, and gradually clearing skies should allow temperatures to drop into the single digits and teens.
In parts of the northwest counties, temperatures could even fall below zero tonight if clouds clear out sufficiently.
Temperatures could feel as cold as -10 degrees in North Texas starting this evening, said meteorologist Brennen Darrah of the National Weather Service. He spoke on a conference call on Sunday.

“Wind chills are still going to be bitterly cold, dangerously cold all day, today, tonight into Monday morning,” Darrah said.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures in the Dallas-Fort Worth area will range from -1 to 14 degrees starting around 6 p.m. Sunday.

Snowfall is also expected, but should stay north of Interstate 20, Darrah said. The harsh winter weather still poses a risk to pipes, other outdoor infrastructures and anyone caught outside without proper protection and clothing.
Darrah said weather and travel conditions will remain about the same as refreezing continues throughout North Texas until temperatures start to rise from the low 20s after Tuesday.

“With each subsequent day, you’ll see less and less precipitation, frozen precipitation, on the ground, especially as people drive on it and the sun shines on it,” Darrah said. “But as always, until we can completely clear the roads, there’s going to be some travel impact from just what has remained refreezing overnight.”
Looking ahead to next weekend, Darrah said the forecast calls for the North Texas area to stay dry, without significant freezing rain or ice.
