Some North Texas roads may still be hazardous into Thursday morning’s commute, even after ice melting Wednesday, officials with the National Weather Service in Fort Worth said.

Lingering ice and refreezing will continue to affect some roads through Thursday, according to an updated forecast.

A second round of freezing fog could also affect travel conditions overnight, mainly near and east of Interstate 35, according to the NWS forecast.

Conditions Wednesday were much more favorable for melting snow and ice still on the ground, but any remaining slush or water is liable to refreeze overnight as temperatures dip back near freezing, a National Weather Service meteorologist said.

Still, temperatures will warm up quickly to reach above 40 by around 9 a.m. Thursday and a high in the mid 50s Thursday afternoon.

Colder temperatures are expected to return with a front Thursday night, according to the forecast.
