Fort Worth, TX – An Extreme Cold Warning remains in effect across North and Central Texas through Tuesday morning, with wind chills plunging as low as -11°F, according to the US National Weather Service Fort Worth. Actual temperatures are expected to remain in the single digits Sunday night, prompting officials to warn that prolonged exposure could be deadly.
According to the weather service, residents should take immediate precautions to protect people, pets, and pipes. “This cold can kill if exposed for a long duration,” the agency said, advising drivers to carry extra blankets and to bring pets inside.
A new wave of wintry precipitation is expected to develop this afternoon and continue through overnight hours. Areas northwest of the Metroplex, including Graham, Cisco, and Sherman, could see 2 to 3 inches of sleet accumulation, while Central Texas may experience up to ¼ inch of freezing rain.
Hazardous travel conditions are expected to persist through midday Tuesday, even after precipitation ends late Monday. The weather service warns that any remaining slush could refreeze, making roads slick and dangerous during the morning commute.
Residents across the Dallas–Fort Worth area, Waco, and Killeen are urged to dress in layers, avoid unnecessary travel, and check on vulnerable neighbors as the dangerous cold continues into early week.
