As wintery weather continues to batter North Texas, the Texas Military Department has announced that they will be providing support.
The Guardsmen will be mobilizing service members and tactical vehicles to support first responders in cities of need. They say they are working together with the Texas Division of Emergency Management and in collaboration with the Texas Department of Public Safety.
"Our Guardsmen continue to support our communities whenever called," Maj. Gen. Tracy Norris, the adjutant general of Texas said. "Throughout the winter season, our personnel and equipment are always ready to support our neighbors in need. Whether along the state’s highways or along the border in support of Operation Lone Star, we’re Texans serving Texas."
The DFW metroplex is expected to get up to 0.5 inches of freezing rain and sleet on Wednesday night according to the National Weather Service.
Dallas-Fort Worth Airport has seen flight cancellations mount as conditions worsen, while MedStar has seen an uptick in car crashes across Tarrant County.
