An arctic cold front is currently moving through North Texas bringing the coldest air of the season so far and light winter precipitation. As temperatures drop below freezing, patchy freezing drizzle will impact parts of North Texas before a second push of dry end the precipitation overnight. There may even be a bit of light snow before all of the precipitation ends. Slick conditions may develop, especially on bridges, ramps and overpasses. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect until midnight for DFW to account for this freezing drizzle.
Dangerous cold accompanies this system. North Texas is under an Extreme Cold Warning that goes into effect Tuesday night preparing for this bitter cold. Low temperatures on Wednesday and Thursday mornings will be in the teens with wind chills below zero. This will be pipe-freezing cold, so be prepared for the frigid conditions.
