North Texans were still waiting for the last of the ice to melt when another winter advisory was issued Thursday.
The National Weather Service’s Fort Worth office has issued a cold weather advisory for North and Central Texas, in effect at 12 a.m. Saturday through 11 a.m. that morning. Much of the southeast United States is also under the advisory, including parts of Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas and Oklahoma.

The advisory comes less than a week after an extreme cold warning was in effect for the region, with DFW International Airport recording 58 hours below freezing. The winter storm brought almost 2.5 inches of sleet to the airport, grinding normal operations across North Texas to a halt.
Temperatures should struggle to reach 32 degrees Saturday, but extreme cold isn’t expected to last. While overnight temperatures will remain below freezing for several days, the high is expected to reach 50 degrees by Sunday.
