Texas starts the morning under a gray veil, where headlights glow softly through freezing fog and moisture clings to cold pavement. The air feels damp and still, but the danger hides on bridges and shaded roads.
A Freezing Fog Advisory remains in effect across the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex through late morning, according to the National Weather Service. Temperatures sit near 28 degrees, allowing fog droplets to freeze on contact. Visibility may drop to three miles or less, especially in low-lying areas and along major corridors.
The biggest concern comes from slick spots. Untreated bridges, overpasses, and ramps may glaze quickly. Drivers should slow down, increase following distance, and expect sudden changes in visibility. Even sidewalks and parking lots can become slick as fog deposits a thin layer of ice.
Conditions gradually improve by late morning as temperatures climb above freezing. Sunshine returns this afternoon, pushing highs into the low 40s. That thaw may briefly help roads, but caution remains advised as shaded areas warm slowly.
Tonight brings another chill. Patchy freezing fog could redevelop before dawn Thursday, especially where moisture lingers. Lows settle near 30 degrees, setting the stage for another careful start.
Thursday marks a noticeable shift. Skies turn partly sunny, and highs jump into the low 50s, drying roads and easing travel. Friday stays quiet and cooler, followed by colder air returning for the weekend.
Saturday turns sharply colder, with highs near 32 degrees. Any leftover moisture may refreeze after sunset, increasing the risk of flash freezing. Sunday rebounds quickly, with sunshine and highs near 46 degrees, signaling a brief winter roller coaster.
