THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN FORT WORTH HAS ISSUED A WINTER STORM WARNING FOR HEAVY SNOW... WHICH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT CST TONIGHT. THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR SNOW IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT.
AREAS OF SNOW ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ACROSS NORTH TEXAS TODAY AS A SLOW MOVING UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS OF 4 TO 6 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE BY THIS EVENING... WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS. THE PRECIPITATION WILL END FROM WEST TO EAST OVERNIGHT.
ROAD CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN SLICK AND HAZARDOUS THROUGH THE DAY AS TEMPERATURES REMAIN NEAR OR JUST BELOW FREEZING AND SNOW CONTINUES TO FALL. SIGNIFICANT TRAVEL IMPACTS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE AFTER THE PRECIPITATION ENDS AND INTO EARLY FRIDAY MORNING AS TEMPERATURES FALL INTO THE UPPER 20S TO AROUND 30.
Dallas is known for many things, including hosting the 2011 Super Bowl, but snow? Moreover, this report calls into question Dallas Super Bowl preparations in case it snows next year. The balmy Florida weather is ideal for getting around Super Bowl parties. But if snow plows are needed for the 2011 Super Bowl, NFL owners will not be happy.
Meanwhile, Delaware is in a state of emergency and has been since Wednesday. Roofs and trees are covered with snow and some roads are almost impassible. It's reported to be the worst snowfall since 1976, with over 21 inches of snow.
Stay tuned.
