Dallas under Winter Storm Watch as Texas to Southeast faces blizzard, hazardous ice

DALLAS – Forecasters are closely monitoring the potential for another high-impact winter storm that’s expected to blast across the U.S. this week, just days after the first major winter storm of 2025 comes to an end.The FOX Forecast Center said the incoming storm will likely impact cities farther south than the most recent storm, putting millions of people in cities such as Dallas, in Texas, Little Rock in Arkansas, Memphis and Nashville in Tennessee and Atlanta in Georgia on alert for winter weather.In fact, the first Winter Storm Watches have been issued in the southern Plains and lower Mississippi Valley and include the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, southeastern Oklahoma, the Little Rock area and extreme northern Louisiana.Texas Gov.Greg Abbott has already activated state emergency response resources ahead of the anticipated storm.“The State of Texas is working around the clock to ensure Texans have the resources and support needed as severe winter weather impacts communities across Texas,” Abbot said in a statement.

“As temperatures begin to drop below freezing and regions of Texas face snow, ice and freezing rain, it is crucial that everyone remain weather-aware.”More than 700 Texas Department of Transportation crews prepared for winter weather by pre-treating roads, bridges and overpasses with more than 500,000 gallons of brine and approximately 800 cubic yards of granular material as temperatures dropped.Potentially hazardous travel conditions are anticipated later this week as this new winter storm begins to ramp up.In addition, city officials in Dallas plan on holding a news conference on Tuesday afternoon to discuss the upcoming storm and what the city is doing to prepare.Morning Report and Evening Update: Your source for today's top stories Please provide a valid email address.
