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.

Biting cold temperatures will turn the ordinary bustle of life outdoors on a North Texas weekday largely inside on Monday as wind chills drop to as low as 10 below zero.
After a weekend of sleet and snow across the region, below freezing temperatures will be perilous through the day, authorities said. Many schools and government offices in Tarrant County are closed, and bus service and trash collection have been suspended.
Temperatures will next climb above freezing on Tuesday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service, and result then in the quick improvement of roads which, in Fort Worth, are covered in a layer of sleet and snow.
An extreme cold warning remains in effect until 9 a.m. Tuesday, with high temperatures mostly in the 20s and wind chill values in the teens and lower 20s that the weather service said could result in hypothermia or frostbite on exposed skin.
Sunny skies will lead on Monday afternoon to partial melting and minor improvement to travel conditions, according to the weather service.

Some of the snow and ice on North Texas roads will melt Monday thanks to mostly sunny skies, lighter winds and relatively warmer temperatures, but don’t expect to have an easy commute if you have to go out. As the day progresses, temperatures will likely stay below freezing but could reach into the low 30s. We’ll see some melting, especially on major roads and highways.
Whatever melts will refreeze Monday night into Tuesday morning when the temperature dips down to about 10 degrees in Fort Worth. We’ll be dealing on Tuesday morning with black ice — a thin, almost invisible layer of ice that looks like the road is just wet (until you hit it and start sliding).

The extreme cold that North Texas will experience over the next three days is considered life-threatening. It’ll be so cold that you could get frostbite within a matter of just 30 minutes.
The ice and snow covering the ground Saturday will allow temperatures to plummet, according to the National Weather Service.
On Saturday night, the lows will be in the single digits and teens across much of the region. Wind chills will drop below zero along the I-35 corridor and to the west.
If you live northwest of the Metroplex, the low temperature Sunday night will be below zero. In Fort Worth, it’ll drop to about 6 degrees.
The wind — with gusts up to 25-30 mph — will make it feel as cold as -10.
This is particularly dangerous for North Texas, which is more used to brief cold snaps. Many families don’t own the kind of cold-weather clothing that can adequately protect you when outdoors. One of the best things you can do is add multiple layers, and definitely wear gloves.
“Temperatures this cold will lead to frostbite within a matter of 30 minutes,” the NWS says. “Therefore, make sure to stay bundled up with a hat, jacket and gloves if you have to spend time outdoors. Ensure your pipes are properly prepared and that your family and friends (including pets) are taken care of.”
Here’s a more detailed look at what to expect Saturday through Tuesday in Fort Worth.

The National Weather Service outlook for North Texas
NWS
The National Weather Service in Fort Worth said Monday that a “significant Arctic air intrusion” will blast North Texas starting Friday, including growing chances for ice, sleet and snow.
“The question is no longer ‘if’ it will get cold, but instead ‘how soon’ will it get cold,” the weather service wrote in its outlook.
Meteorologists with the weather service described a “substantial” shift in forecast models since Sunday that now includes a “substantial amount of accumulations” from Friday evening through Saturday night.
Widespread rain during the day Friday will precede a subfreezing Arctic cold front that could transition to freezing rain, sleet, and eventually snow in parts of North Texas from Friday night into Saturday.
“Persistent precipitation could result in a scenario where temperatures hover below freezing for a prolonged period (perhaps all day Saturday for some areas), resulting in impactful accumulations of ice and/or snow.”
Accumulating ice may cripple the region Friday night into Saturday, with “some accumulating snow also included roughly near/north of I-20,” the weather service said.
As of Monday, the forecast for Saturday for Fort Worth shows a 40% chance of rain, snow, freezing rain and sleet with a high near 31 degrees and a low Saturday night of 19 degrees.
As of early Monday, the weather service says “the best case scenario would be for a slightly slower Arctic air arrival with subfreezing temps holding off until Friday evening/night, allowing school/work commutes to conclude before impacts to travel can commence.”
“A worse (and still quite plausible) scenario would be for the subfreezing air to arrive earlier in the day Friday which would necessitate early dismissals or result in a deterioration of travel conditions during a Friday evening commute in parts of North Texas.”
“Sufficient evidence exists among guidance at this time range to conclude that this will be our first legitimate shot at winter weather impacts in North/Central Texas so far this season.”
We will update this story with any new information from the weather service Monday.
