With winter weather quickly approaching, we want to share updated information from the US National Weather Service Fort Worth Texas about what to expect:

Rain will be the primary impact on Sunday, but this is not the “main event.” After a possible brief lapse in rain, wintery precipitation will begin after midnight and really pick up between 5 and 7 am for our area.
