Will Dallas-Fort Worth get snow this week? Chances of wintery mix are rising ... and more news

Plenty of sunshine on the way today but it will be significantly cooler than it was over the weekend with a high of only 38. The low tonight will be 24. Chances are rising that North Texas could see some form of wintry precipitation this week. The cold is projected to stay over the area all week, and temperatures are expected to rise above freezing most days before falling again each evening. According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, a forecast discussion on Sunday mentioned that there is a “high confidence in wintry precipitation” from Wednesday night through Friday morning with a “70-80% chance of at least measurable, or a tenth of an inch of snowfall accumulations.” The highest chance of precipitation is Thursday night into early Friday, but the chance of precipitation starts as early as just after midnight Thursday. Snow and ice could accumulate Friday morning, but it is unlikely to last for a prolonged period as the forecast high that day in Dallas is 43; At First Baptist Dallas, construction workers have embarked on the painstaking work of demolishing and preserving high-value pieces of the church’s historic sanctuary, which was heavily damaged in a July fire; And the Cowboys’ season finally ended Sunday at AT&T Stadium against their long-time rivals the Washington Commanders. The Commanders defeated the Cowboys 23-19 as the season ended in dramatic fashion when Marcus Mariota connected on a 5-yard touchdown pass to receiver Terry McLaurin with three seconds left. The Cowboys finished the season 7-10. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
