Mild weather ends as an arctic front arrives late Friday, bringing cold air and the chance for snow on Tuesday of next week. Temperatures will drop well below normal, and residents should take precautions for freezing temperatures,

Texas will be facing "hazardous" cold in the coming days, a forecast from the National Weather Service (NWS) predicted this week. Freezing temperatures can pose significant health risks, particularly for vulnerable groups such as infants and senior citizens.

Arctic air will return to Texas over the weekend, bringing below-freezing temperatures, low wind chills and the chance of wintry precipitation again.

After a brief warm-up, North Texas will see a significant cold front this weekend, bringing temperatures in the 20s and the potential for light snow.

North Texas will enjoy a mild Thursday with highs near 59 degrees, but brace for a major chill with possible snow as an Arctic cold front arrives Friday night.

As a slug of arctic air overtakes the eastern two-thirds of the U.S. next week, a storm system could bring snow, sleet and freezing rain to places deep in the heart of Texas, but the forecast isn’t a lock just yet.

Lows Tuesday morning were in the 20s and lows Wednesday are expected to be in the 30s, an improvement but it's still cold. North Texas should see highs rebound into the 60s on Thursday and Friday, but it's short-lived.
