Ahead of the expected snowfall later in the week, North Texans woke up to freezing temperatures in the 20s on Monday, Jan. 6.

Earlier this week, the National Weather Service’s Climate Prediction Center released its 8-14 day weather outlook that is valid from Jan. 7-13, 2025. The outlook showed that much of the country would face subfreezing temperatures, with some states, including Texas, potentially receiving snow.

The National Weather Service in Fort Worth forecasts widespread snowfall totals between 1 and 4 inches, but some areas could see up to 6 inches.
