North Texas and parts of the Southern and Central United States, United States- The The Weather Channel and local meteorologists are tracking a developing winter weather system expected to affect parts of the southern and central United States this weekend, according to media reports and regional forecasts. Forecasters say a combination of snow, sleet, freezing rain, and dangerously cold temperatures could disrupt travel and daily routines, particularly across North Texas and surrounding areas.
Weather coverage cited by WRAL indicates that a surge of Arctic air is forecast to move southward late Friday into Saturday, increasing the likelihood of wintry precipitation across portions of the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. Meteorologists warned that even light ice accumulations could create hazardous road conditions, especially during overnight and early morning hours.
In North Texas, the National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch as confidence grows around a prolonged period of freezing temperatures, according to reporting by The Dallas Morning News. Forecast models show the potential for snow transitioning to sleet and freezing rain, a combination that historically poses a higher risk for power outages and transportation delays.
Local stations, including FOX 4 in Dallas, reported that school districts and municipal agencies are closely monitoring conditions ahead of the weekend. Officials said decisions on closures and delays would depend on temperature trends and precipitation timing, with ice accumulation remaining the primary concern.
The Weather Channel’s national outlook highlights that major population centers, including Dallas and surrounding suburbs in North Texas, could experience the most significant impacts if forecast conditions materialize. Airlines and transportation agencies have advised travelers to check schedules and road conditions as the system approaches.
Meteorologists emphasized that forecast confidence will continue to evolve as the storm system develops, with small shifts in temperature potentially changing precipitation types and impacts across affected regions.
