Before 2020 draws to a close, it looks like Mother Nature has one more weather curve ball to throw at North Texas. A powerful top-level storm system will move through southwestern parts of the United States during the middle of the week.
North Texas will see showers on Tuesday and additional rain and thunder on Wednesday.

As the storm system twists and turns to the north, it is expected to slow down and get stronger. When that happens, more cold air is sucked into the low air and helps cool the air in the center of the atmosphere. That makes the atmosphere more capable of producing snow and allowing that snow to reach the ground.

That means that for parts of North Texas, a transition from rain to sleet and snow will be possible late Wednesday night and Thursday during the day.
Before you pull out the snow shovel, you should know that there are still a lot of details to fix on their own. The trail of the top-level storm will be crucial. A shift of 50-100 miles could make a world of difference between who sees snow and who sees rain.
