... Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 9 am CDT this
morning...

A Winter Weather Advisory for light snow remains in effect until 9
am CDT this morning.

A powerful upper level storm system will move across the region
and bring light snow to area early this morning. Additional snowfall
accumulations are expected to remain well below an inch... but
locally higher amounts to over an inch can't be ruled out. In
addition to the snow... strong northwest winds of 20 to 30 mph
with gusts to 40 mph are likely today... which may result in
periods of blowing snow and reduced visibilities.

A Winter Weather Advisory means that periods of snow may cause a
few slicks spots on elevated Road surfaces and overpasses that
may result in travel difficulties. While Road surfaces will
likely be too warm to collect snowfall... visibilities may be
reduced to less than 1/2 mile at times. Use caution if traveling.

... Wind Advisory in effect until 6 PM CDT this evening...

The National Weather Service in Fort Worth has issued a Wind Advisory...
which is in effect until 6 PM CDT this evening.

Very strong northwest winds 25 to 30 mph... with gusts between 35 and
40 mph are expected throughout the day today. Winds should diminish
to between 10 and 20 mph by later this evening..

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Wind Advisory means that sustained winds this strong can make driving
difficult... especially for high profile vehicles. Boaters should use
extra caution when venturing onto area lakes. Residents may wish to
take action to secure trash cans... lawn furniture... and other lightweight
outdoor objects that may be blown around in the strong winds.

... 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.
