Today and Saturday

A DENSE FOG ADVISORY is in effect for parts of North and Central Texas where visibility may be reduced to less than 1/4 mile. Slow down and drive with extreme caution in the fog. Use low beam headlights. Fog should improve by mid morning.

Confidence has increased slightly in the potential for winter precipitation sometime January 8th through the 10th (Wednesday through Friday). The highest potential for any travel impacts (30% chance) is across Central Texas. We still are uncertain what type, if any, precipitation will occur, as well as the extent and duration of any travel impacts.

An Arctic airmass arrives Sunday night, with cold temperatures expected for several days. Most likely highs are in the mid to upper 30s near the Red River with 40s elsewhere. Most likely lows will be in the 20s. Morning wind chills in the teens are likely, with single digits along the Red River possible.

A strong cold front will push through North and Central Texas bringing gusty north winds and a prolonged period of cold temperatures. Scattered showers and storms will be possible across East Texas. The warmest temperatures of the day will likely occur in the morning with temperatures quickly dropping behind the cold front. Pack warm clothes if you plan on being outside on Sunday as wind chills will drop into the 20s and 30s by Sunday evening!

Morning clouds and fog will continue today before skies become partly cloudy this afternoon. A surge of moisture and low clouds will result in overcast conditions on Saturday. Both days will feature temperatures in the 60s before a strong cold front moves through the region on Sunday.
