North Texas is still reeling from the recent snowstorm that began earlier this month, bringing freezing temperatures, icy conditions, and disruptions across the region. As residents recover from the impact, another Arctic blast is on the horizon, promising a sharp drop in temperatures and a potential return of wintry weather.
Here’s what you need to know about the forecast and how to stay safe in the coming weeks:
Upcoming Weather Projections
After a brief warm-up this week, with temperatures reaching the mid-60s by Friday, an Arctic front will blow into North Texas over the weekend.
- Weekend Forecast: Temperatures will plunge sharply, with highs in the 40s on Saturday and 30s on Sunday. Gusty north winds will make it feel even colder, with wind chills dropping to the single digits and teens by Sunday morning.
- Next Week: A disturbance expected on Monday or Tuesday could bring light snow to the area. While significant accumulation isn’t anticipated, the cold temperatures may lead to slick roads and hazardous driving conditions.
- This cold spell, though typical for January, serves as a reminder of the challenges winter weather brings to North Texas. While this is not expected to be as severe as the February 2021 freeze, residents should remain cautious and prepared.
Staying Safe on the Roads
With icy conditions and the possibility of black ice, it’s essential to drive cautiously. Roads may become especially slick in shaded areas, bridges, and overpasses. Monitoring local weather updates and avoiding unnecessary travel during peak freeze times can help ensure your safety.
