Fort Worth, TX – Up to 4 inches of snow is forecast to blanket parts of North Texas starting Wednesday night, bringing hazardous travel conditions to the region. The National Weather Service warns that untreated roads, including sections of I-20 and I-35, could become dangerous due to snow and ice accumulations.
According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, snow is expected to start Wednesday night and continue into Friday morning, with areas such as Gainesville, Paris, and Dallas-Fort Worth seeing the heaviest accumulations. Central Texas, including Waco, may also experience freezing rain and icy conditions. Officials urge residents to limit travel and monitor weather updates as conditions evolve.
Snow totals are expected to range from 1 to 4 inches across North Texas, with the potential for localized higher amounts. Freezing temperatures will persist, with lows dipping into the teens and twenties, creating dangerous wind chills between 5 and 10 degrees. Icy roads and reduced visibility could impact commutes and travel plans.
Residents should prepare by insulating pipes, keeping vehicles stocked with emergency supplies, and avoiding unnecessary travel during the storm. Power outages are possible due to ice buildup on power lines and trees.
The wintry weather is expected to taper off by Friday afternoon, with conditions improving into the weekend. Highs will return to the mid-40s on Saturday under sunny skies. Until then, residents are encouraged to stay indoors, dress warmly, and follow updates from local authorities for the latest weather and road conditions.
