Widespread freezing rain spreads across the Lone Star state today into Thursday. 

Winter Storm Warnings and Ice Storm Warnings are in effect through Thursday morning across the northern half of Texas. 

Currently a dangerous ice event is unfolding with rounds of wintry precipitation still trailing from the southwest to the northeast due to an upper level system and cold air mass in place.

Our region is facing additional significant icing as moisture continues to run up the state. We should see more ice accumulations of 1/4 to 1/2 inch in some areas. Higher values up to 0.75 inch in the higher elevations and in North Texas are possible.

The freezing rain will last into Thursday morning until the temperature rises above freezing.

Today seems to be the worst day for travel. So, please avoid driving if possible.
