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.
