Tuesday Forecast

Following a solid refreeze Monday night, a milder Tuesday afternoon is expected. Sunshine and southerly winds will help temperatures reach the upper 30s and low 40s this afternoon.

Thanks to some morning sun through high clouds, temperatures will start to warm above freezing with southwest winds before noon. While increasing clouds may dim the sun this afternoon, most areas will reach 40 degrees. While the average high for this date is 58, the slight warming is a welcome change.

DFW road conditions

After briefly ending the subfreezing streak yesterday, it remains bitterly cold this morning. Any lingering moisture has iced over, resulting in patches of black ice on exposed surfaces. Residents should exercise extra caution.
