Special Weather Statement


... Freezing temperatures likely tonight across much of North
Texas...

A potent upper level storm system will continue to move over North
Texas tonight bringing unseasonably cold Canadian air into the
region in its wake. Low temperatures across North Texas by Sunday
morning are expected to fall to freezing or just below. Areas west
of Interstate 35 will likely see lows in the upper 20s. Areas
along and north of Interstate 20... including the metroplex... will
see lows dip to near 30 degrees. Areas east of Interstate 35 and
south of Interstate 20 will see lows dip to right around freezing
or possibly hold a degree or two above. These temperatures may
cause damage to sensitive vegetation across North Texas. Residents
are encouraged to take actions immediately to protect these plants
as temperatures late this evening had already reached freezing at
a few locations. Temperatures are expected to climb above freezing
quickly Sunday after sunrise.
