Weather Features

Precipitation has ended across Dallas / Fort Worth by 4pm this Sunday afternoon. The main concern will now be temperatures which drop below freezing. This could lead to a few icy spots on roadways that are still wet.

WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY continues until 9pm for counties shaded in blue. Dallas and Tarrant Counties are no longer any Winter Weather advisories.

Here’s a look at temperatures at 430pm. Note the 20s in parts of Denton and Wise Counties.

ROAD IMPACTS

The worst conditions will remain over areas like Jack, Wise, Cooke, Montague Counties where sleet and ice accumulated this afternoon. This is where temperatures will be in the low 20s and upper teens tonight.

The map below shows the areas of greatest concern.

GREATEST IMPACT AREA

SOME IMPACT AREA

The only concern here is for moisture on roads to freeze. Roads are really drying out now that precip has ended so just a few isolated icy spots possible.

OVERNIGHT LOWS

It will be cold tonight with a hard freeze. That will create the problem of icy spots on roadways where water is still laying. A little bit of breeze will help dry some roads.
