We are waking up to temperatures in the upper 20s to mid 30s across North Texas. Some areas of fog have now developed and some freezing fog is plaguing areas along the Red River, especially along highway 82 west of Gainesville. Please be careful. Bridges and overpasses have a thin coating of ice on them. This will all melt off and burn off by mid morning.
I'm also tracking a cold front that's now entering the Texas Panhandle. It will arrive across North Texas later this afternoon into early this evening. The wind will shift to the northwest and gust to 30 mph overnight and into the day tomorrow. There is also an upper level disturbance that will be diving across the Red River Valley today. This will bring a layer of clouds across the area this evening through the early morning tomorrow, but as of now, it looks like any light precipitation will stay in southeast Oklahoma and the Arklatex.
Friday will be sunny, but chilly. Afternoon highs will only reach the mid 40s with a north wind gusting as high as 30mph.

Our next weather maker arrives late Monday into Valentine's Day. Look for widespread rain with some thunder to overspread the area. Afternoon highs both days will reach the low 60s.
We are back to sunshine Wednesday with highs in the low seventies. However, don't let your guard down, A strong cold front will usher in some pretty chilly air by the end of next week. More about that as we get closer.
