After Thursday's event across the southern parts of north Texas into central Texas, we get a little bit of a break Friday Saturday and Sunday.
Temperatures during the period will hover in the mid to upper 20s. There may be some light freezing drizzle tomorrow morning and then again on Saturday morning.
The big weather makers arrive the 2nd half of Sunday into early Monday.
Bitter cold air filters in with temperatures in the teens for highs by Monday and morning lows in the single digits. We might approach 0 or below early Tuesday morning depending on how much snow we see late Sunday into early Monday.
Right now the data continues to be consistent for 4 to 6" of snow possible across all of North Texas. Amounts will be tweaked down or up as we get closer to this event.
This will put us in a very dangerous situation for all of next week with snow packed roads with dangerously cold temperatures. Readings will remain in the teens and twenties for highs, with morning lows in the single digits and teens.
To make matters worse, another system may impact our weather with a wintry mix next Wednesday. Stay tuned for updates on that forecast.
