Dallas Weather: Jan 6 Weather Headlines

Significant snow accumulation is very likely later this week from Dallas and Fort Worth to the north and west. Dan Henry has the latest forecast.

An intense storm system is expected to develop over Arizona and move into northern Mexico by Wednesday, possibly producing flurries or very light snow in North Texas.

On Thursday, there’s a strong chance of a wintry mix, including snow, sleet, or rain. This mix is expected to be short-lived, clearing out by Thursday night.

While exact details remain uncertain three days out, areas that receive snow could see accumulations of 2 to 4 inches. Forecasts will be refined as the storm approaches.

The system should move out by Friday morning, but untreated roads may remain icy or slushy, especially as temperatures stay near or below freezing. Any remaining slush could refreeze overnight.
