Latest Freeze on Record Possible Tonight for Parts of North Texas!

By Chief Meteorologist Larry Mowry May 2, 2013 8:53 PM

A freeze is possible in several locations to the north and west of DFW tonight. Below are some locations that could see a freeze early tomorrow morning. This would be the latest freeze ever recorded in these locations. In fact, the National Weather Service tells me no location in North Texas has ever seen a freeze this late in the season.

Note how old some of these records are! Like the ones in Bowie, Gainesville, and Graham.
