The bottom line is that ground temperatures should be too high for the snow to stick if we get it on Tuesday. But still, please drive with caution, reduce speeds, and keep a safe distance from the vehicles around you.

Travel impacts on Tuesday should be minor. Periods of moderate to heavy snow are possible across far NW North TX and along the Red River, which may create brief travel impacts. Be sure to drive slow and plan ahead if you have travel plans Tuesday/Tuesday night.
