A strong cold front has arrived, bringing arctic air to North Texas. Temperatures topped out in the upper 40s Saturday afternoon, with a strong northerly wind. The wind will only increase overnight and it will be even colder the next few days.
A cold weather advisory will go into effect from midnight tonight through 9 AM Sunday morning. Wind chill values will plummet into the teens. Bright sunshine is again on tap again on Sunday, but that sunshine won't provide much warmth, with highs only climbing into the 30s Sunday afternoon.
The cold conditions will persist into early next week. High temperatures will remain in the 30s on Monday and Tuesday, and the coldest temperature so far this winter is likely to occur Monday morning, on the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
As for wintry precipitation, we will probably see a few snow flurries across DFW, but no accumulation is expected in the DFW area. However the snow will be heavier farther south, and roads may become snow-packed between Austin, Waco, College Station, and Houston.
