Dallas–Fort Worth, TX – Drivers across North Texas are facing hazardous travel conditions Wednesday morning as a Freezing Fog Advisory remains in effect until 11 a.m. CST, reducing visibility and creating slick roadways in several counties.
According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, visibility may drop to three miles or less in areas affected by freezing fog, particularly across north central and northeast Texas. The advisory was issued at 8:56 a.m. Wednesday and covers dozens of counties, including Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, Denton, Kaufman, Rockwall, Parker, Wise, Hood, Johnson, Grayson, and Hunt counties.
Cities impacted include Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Denton, Weatherford, Waxahachie, Sherman, Gainesville, Bonham, Mineral Wells, and Granbury, among others. The advisory spans the broader Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, extending into surrounding rural and suburban communities.
Weather officials warn that slick conditions are possible on untreated bridges, overpasses, and road surfaces, where freezing fog may deposit a thin layer of ice. Reduced visibility could also make morning commutes dangerous, particularly during peak travel hours.
Motorists are urged to slow down, use low-beam headlights, and leave extra distance between vehicles. Officials also advise drivers to remain cautious, as icy patches caused by freezing fog can be difficult to see until it’s too late.
The advisory is expected to expire by late Wednesday morning, as temperatures rise and fog conditions improve.
