Significant snow accumulations have been observed across parts of the Texas Panhandle, Texoma, North Texas, and Northeast Texas. We’ve seen upwards of ten to twelve inches of overperforming snow around Amarillo, with some locations in Texoma and northern sections of the D/FW Metroplex, into Northeast Texas, receiving upwards of five to six inches of snow.
The snow in the Panhandle has certainly overperformed today, while the round of snow this morning in North Texas also exceeded initial expectations. After a few hours of rain in D/FW, we’re starting to see a change back to snow from west to east in the D/FW Metroplex. This activity will continue for several hours into the early morning Friday. An additional two to five inches of snow may fall in the D/FW Metroplex north into eastern Texoma and Northeast Texas—on top of whatever is already down.

Travel will become more difficult as slush and water freeze overnight due to slowly dropping temperatures. Hazardous travel conditions due to strong, gusty northwest winds are also expected in the Panhandle overnight, with blowing snow and near blizzard conditions. Northeast Texas will see winter weather continue until about sunrise Friday, with additional accumulations of snow and sleet possible.
The good news is we should all get up to or above freezing Friday afternoon, so some melting along with an improvement in road conditions is expected late Friday morning into Friday afternoon. However, the northern eighty percent of Texas will drop below freezing Friday night into Saturday morning. A hard freeze with temperatures down into the teens is expected Friday night where we have a snowpack. Any water or slush on roads by sunset tomorrow will quickly freeze into ice, which may cause issues on roads once again. Saturday begins a more substantial warm-up across Texas, with an end to our winter weather issues.
The southeastern half of Texas continues to receive beneficial rains this evening, and that’ll continue overnight. Some thunder isn’t out of the question, and we may see spotty street flooding and ponding of water. Rain chances will end from west to east Friday morning, with most activity exiting the state by 9 AM. Much cooler temperatures will filter in behind the departing storm system, setting the stage for a cold Friday night statewide.
