A significant winter storm is expected to impact North Texas this week, bringing a wintry mix and potentially heavy snow, disrupting travel and potentially impacting the Cotton Bowl game.
A cold front caused temperatures to drop across Texas on Monday. Every night this week is expected to see temperatures below freezing, but all eyes are on later this week when a wintry mix or even snow is possible. Significant winter storm is expected to impact Texas this week. On Wednesday, North Texas has a chance of seeing a few flurries, especially to the west. The day to watch is Thursday.
Moisture from the Gulf of Mexico will meet cold air and bring a wintry mix or snow to North Texas on Thursday and into Friday morning. At this point, snow is expected in the DFW area and north, and a wintry mix south of I-20 on Thursday afternoon. By Thursday night, we expect things to transition into all snow. It could be heavy at times. Snow accumulation is likely according to the latest data. The snow is expected to taper off on Friday and will start to melt by Friday afternoon. What We Don't Know: How much snow we expect to get is still uncertain. Right now, models show the storm could be two to four inches of snow, with isolated amounts higher than that. The exact totals could change in either direction as we get closer to Thursday. We will continue refining the forecast as we get closer. Keep tabs with us on TV, the FOX 4 Weather app and FOX LOCAL for the latest updates. At this point, along and north of Interstate 20 it is going to be mostly snow. Areas to the south will see a wintry mix of snow, sleet and even rain to the southeast. The weather forecast is of particular interest because the Cotton Bowl is being held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on Friday. The Texas Longhorns are playing the Ohio State Buckeyes in the semi-finals of the College Football Playoff at 6:30 p.m.AT&T Stadium is a dome, so the weather will have an impact on the game itself, but it could have an impact on people traveling to the game. The expected snow will likely disrupt travel on Thursday into Friday
