Dallas-Fort Worth (WBAP/KLIF) – A freezing rain threat continues for areas west of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex; otherwise light rain is falling elsewhere.
In Tarrant County there are signs of freezing precipitation on road signs, and cars.
Pulled over to get gas in Richland Hills and saw a sign beginning to ice over. Our @BradBartonDFW saying most of any freezing issues on the western side of the Metroplex. @WBAP247NEWS @ @570KLIF for the latest. pic.twitter.com/TpKoxeWs75

Counties north and west of the will bear the brunt of the winter precipitation today as snow and sleet is expected to arrive in the metro on Thursday in earnest.
Meantime, some weather related delays are being reported at DFW Airport. Calls ahead.
The number of cancellations and delays at @DFWAirport is rising. 50+ cancellations right now…a handful of delays. @WBAP247NEWS @570KLIF pic.twitter.com/NIiKFKpare
