Current Conditions
Wind chills at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport were reported at 4 degrees Monday morning, with areas further north experiencing sub-zero feel-like temperatures. While regional radar remained clear, "lake effect" snow flurries were reported near Eagle Mountain Lake, Lake Bridgeport, and Ray Roberts Lake due to lingering moisture over the water.
7-Day Forecast
A final atmospheric disturbance moving through Oklahoma may bring cloud cover and a stray flurry to North Texas Monday morning before clearing out.
The region is expected to finally climb above the freezing mark on Tuesday, with a forecast high of 40 degrees. However, this brief reprieve brings its own risks. As Sunday’s snow melts, light winds and lingering moisture could create "freezing fog" late Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, potentially leading to dangerous black ice on area roadways.
