Slushy, icy roads still expected in North Texas as temperatures begin to warm
NORTH TEXAS (CBSDFW.COM) — An Ice Storm Warning and Winter Storm Warning remain in effect until 9 a.m. Thursday.
Precipitation will continue to transition over to a cold rain from southeast to northwest as temperatures climb above freezing.
More scattered rain showers are possible late this afternoon and evening.
We all want to know when are the roads going to improve.
In the DFW Metroplex, it's going to be this afternoon when widespread impacts will be less likely.
Side roads, neighborhoods, parking lots and bridges will still have slick spots. Even though conditions will improve, you still need to use caution and take it slow.
If you can wait until Friday to get on the roads, that would be best.
The ice on elevated surfaces, including power lines and trees, will melt Friday when the sun finally makes its return!
Use Keith as a cautionary tale here:
See that thick layer of ice on the windshield? It slid off from the top of his car when he made a stop.
It is important to remove the ice from your car before you get back on the roads. Additionally, a layer of ice on top of your car can just as easily fly off the back of your car as you are driving and endanger other drivers.
Luckily, that was not the case here.
The Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo remained open through all of our winter weather and tomorrow they are the first place I am heading when the roads are safe and the sun is shining!
Stay warm and safe!
