After several days of freezing temperatures, snow, sleet and rain fell in North Texas on Thursday, bringing travel disruptions in the air and on the ground, school closures and upending a region that doesn’t often see frozen precipitation.

Moisture and a mix of precipitation should start to move into the metroplex from the southwest starting in the morning to the mid-morning hours.

Today is a FOX 26 Storm Alert Day in southeast Texas. Heavy rain will begin to move in midday with the heaviest rain expected later this afternoon into the evening. Models are showing 2 to 4 inches of rain possible in total and the highest amounts will likely be close to the coast.
