Crandall, Texas

... Snow expected Friday for much of North Texas...

An upper level disturbance will move across Texas on Friday and
trigger areas of snow across the region. The track of the
disturbance means the best potential for accumulating snowfall
will be across the southern portions of North Texas. However most
locations across North Texas will see at least light snow or snow
flurries Friday.

Light snow will develop across West Texas this evening and move
east into the western parts of North Texas early Friday morning.
The snow will continue to develop and expand southeast during the
day. Locations south of a line from Cisco... to Waco... to Palestine
will average around one inch of snow. Areas north of this line
will generally experience a light dusting of snow. Snow should
end from west to east during the afternoon and early evening
hours.

Travel may become hazardous across the southern portions of North
Texas and central Texas Friday. Residents are encouraged to keep
updated with the latest forecasts and any possible winter weather
advisories from your National Weather Service in Fort Worth.
