Dallas Weather: Winter Storm Watch Issued, Freezing Temperatures Continue and Snow Likely Thursday

NORTH TEXAS – A winter storm watch has been issued for the Dallas-Fort Worth area as freezing temperatures persist and significant snow accumulation is expected later this week.

Today’s weather forecast:

Temperatures today will be similar to yesterday, but with much less wind. Temperatures will reach the upper 30s to near 40 degrees, with morning lows dipping into the low 20s. Skies will remain mostly cloudy.

Be sure to drain your faucets to protect your home from freezing pipes.

Tomorrow’s weather forecast:

Expect another cloudy day tomorrow as the winter storm begins to develop over northern Mexico. Conditions will remain dry, with lows in the 20s and highs in the upper 30s.

How much snow does Dallas get?

As of Tuesday morning, areas south of DFW are expected to see 2 to 4 inches of snow, while northern parts of the metroplex could get 4 to 6 inches. These estimates may change as we approach Thursday.

Counties to the south and east will likely see more rain than snow, which could lead to lower snow accumulation in those areas.

When will it snow in Dallas?

The wintry mix of snow, rain and sleet is expected to arrive in DFW Thursday and move out early Friday morning. The winter storm watch is in effect through Friday. The heaviest snowfall is expected on Thursday evening.

Friday morning will likely present greater challenges than Thursday as untreated roads will refreeze overnight despite temperatures climbing above freezing Friday afternoon. Be careful if you travel on Friday and Saturday.

Dallas weather this week:

After the wintry mix melts away Saturday, temperatures are expected to climb into the 40s and stay there for the rest of the week.
