Dallas inside threat for disruptive ice storms across Southern Plains ... (FOX Weather)

If all the ingredients are in place, a prolonged period of freezing rain could impact the Southern Plains and Mid-Mississippi Valley during the workweek.

A second area of ice upwards of 0.25 inches is also increasingly likely across parts of Arkansas and Western Tennessee. From Tuesday into Wednesday, the FOX Forecast center expects continued precipitation to fall across most of Texas. Right now, it appears the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex will be right on the edge of that line, with upwards of 0.25 inches of ice accretion possible. Continued push of colder air in wake of the arctic front will allow the freezing line to inch a bit further south, well past the I-20 corridor. Temperatures will warm above freezing by Wednesday afternoon, ending the threat for additional ice accretion. Forecast models also disagree on the amount of precipitation that occurs, and this is leading to higher than usual forecast uncertainty. [Arkansas](https://www.foxweather.com/category/arkansas) and Western [Tennessee](https://www.foxweather.com/category/tennessee), including Little Rock and Memphis. With the arctic frontal boundary draped across the region, where the boundary of freezing air sits during this time is critical. Up to 0.10" of ice accretion will be possible with this first wave. Dangerous travel is likely, especially during commute times, along with some power outages. Winter Weather Advisories are in effect for the Oklahoma City area. This fast moving band of precipitation will shift east to the I-35 corridor by midday, and move east out of Texas by the evening.
