Key Points:
- WFAA has issued Weather Alert Days from Friday through Monday due to an incoming North Texas winter storm, advising residents to monitor forecast updates via their smart TV app WFAA+ and mobile app for real-time alerts.
- Soil temperatures across North Texas are currently between 40-60 degrees, especially warmer south of the Metroplex, which will delay the freezing of roads despite the approaching arctic air.
- Air temperatures are expected to drop below freezing around 10-11 p.m. Friday, with road surfaces likely to develop slick spots and ice between 1-4 a.m. Saturday, particularly in central and northern counties.
- Southern counties may experience a later onset of icy conditions due to warmer ground temperatures, providing a slight advantage
