Winter storm warning issued
The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch for a large part of North Texas from 6 p.m. Wednesday through 6 p.m. Thursday that may include heavy snow and possible ice accumulations.
The watch points to snow accumulations up to three inches and ice up to one-third of an inch across North Texas. Wind chills as low as five-below zero are expected.
Hazardous travel is likely and drivers should expect icy bridges and roadways. Gusty winds could bring down tree branches and may cause power disruptions. Residents of these areas are encouraged to prepare and continue to monitor the forecast.
The moderate temperatures will fade quickly as Wednesday temps are forecast in the upper 30s and decrease throughout the day. Rain chances will turn into a wintry mix in the afternoon and freezing rain in the evening before turning to snow.
Thursday temperatures are projected to be in the teens and snow is expected to continue. Three to six inches have been forecast. While skies are expected to clear for the end of the week the temperatures will remain below freezing into the weekend.
Bowie City Manager Bert Cunningham said the city crews have prepared as much as possible with salt and sand loaded into the dump trucks.
Electric and street crews are on alert. The manager said they are in regular contact with the NWS.

Sheriff confirms human remains found in Sunset area
Montague County Sheriff Marshall Thomas has confirmed human skeletal remains were recovered on June 13 in the Sunset area, and they could possibly be those of a flight attendant believed to have been murdered almost a year ago in the Fort Worth.
The murder suspect, Dennis William Day, 66, admitted in June 2025 to strangling Rana Soluri, 47, an Envoy flight attendant who lived with Day during that last year. She was reported missing by a co-worker on June 11 and had not been seen or heard from since March 2025.
Day initially denied any involvement, but later admitted to the murder and indicated he dumped her body somewhere in the Montague County area. Lawmen have scoured the areas in questions in both Montague and Wise County, but found nothing.
Sheriff Thomas said on June 13 the SO received a call of possible skeletal remains in the Brushy Creek area north of Poss Dyer Lane on Farm-to-Market 1749. A deputy went to the scene and confirmed it was human remains.
Investigators responded and kept the scene secure overnight until staff from the University of North Texas Forensic Anthropology Center could arrive and made the recovery on June 14. A Texas Ranger and staff from the Fort Worth Police Department also were on scene.
“There is no determination made yet on how long it has been there,” said Thomas. “The anthropologist was pleased to recover most of the skeleton in these conditions. Heavy rains previously made the past searches difficult. We are working jointly with Fort Worth to make an identification and if it is the victim in their homicide.”
