North Texas will still have more rain expected Thursday afternoon and evening, but as our environment continues to warm, it will mainly be a cold rain. 

While a few snowflakes or sleet pellets could mix in, it won't make any more of an impact to our roads.

Roads will be wet through the afternoon drive as melting continues, but precipitation will come to an end later Thursday; clearing the DFW Metroplex by 8 p.m. and clearing the entire area by 11 p.m. 

Temperatures will drop below freezing once again going into Friday morning, and this will lead to icy spots and slush for morning commuters.
