Winter weather advisory
US National Weather Service Fort Worth Texas
Winter Weather Update: 9:20 AM January 1, 2019
A Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect for parts of North and Central Texas. Note that this Winter Weather Advisory is NOT a downgrade from the earlier Winter Storm Watch. In fact, an advisory actually represents increased forecast confidence that wintry precipitation accumulations will lead to travel impacts.
Freezing rain is expected to begin Wednesday morning, generally west of Interstate 35. Confidence is higher in freezing rain accumulations the farther north and west one goes. Meanwhile to the southeast, heavy rain may lead to flooding potential. By Thursday, freezing rain will likely transition to snow across North Texas, with minor snowfall accumulations possible near the Red River.
Residents of North and Central Texas are advised to monitor the latest forecasts and be prepared for potentially hazardous travel conditions in and near the advisory area.

They were integrating additional equipment including the new transformer. Once everything is connected it will go through a testing phase. The transformer project has been stalled during the past year awaiting the arrival of various parts. (News photo by Barbara Green

After more than a year of turmoil and upheaval it appears the Amon Carter Lake Water Supply Corporation is back on its feet with a slate of new board members and plans to review by-laws and operations.
Last August all the board members resigned in the wake of a lawsuit by a resident who could not obtain water for a small housing development despite being in the district. The property owner also accused the board of not following open meetings or open records laws, or its own by-laws.
After the board resigned a receivership was requested from the court and was named in December 2025. The receiver or temporary manager was Nocona attorney Zach Renfro, who was directed by the court to seek out possible directors to rehabilitate the association and assure it meets the obligation of continuing to provide water to more than 300 members.
The corporation board conducted its first general membership meeting on March 27 where a state of the corporation was given and new directors
named. They are Kevin McShan, president; Josh Swint, vice president; Carla Swofford, secretary; Wesley Kelly, treasurer; Zach Gunter, Rob Hankins and Chase Thomas, all directors.
